Heavens to Bettie! Check out the hair transformation on model Petra Nemcova. Not only has she changed the color from blonde to full-blown brunette, but she's added a layer of flirty, heavy-fringe to the front. Let's also not overlook how her coral lipstick enriches her deep tan. What do you think about this new look on Ms. Nemcova?

I love Bettie Page bangs as much as the next girl, but I don't think they work for Petra's face shape or features.
1Agreed, Geek! She looks like she is 12 or something now!
2yikes
3Yes, Martini! That's exactly what it is — you know in old pictures of when your grandparents were kids, they all had that same bob and these bangs? That's what Petra reminds me of.
4Love everything about her look EXCEPT the bangs.
5Not a good look AT ALL.
6These bangs makes her face look weird.
7hate it..oh dear god
8Bangs gotta go - now!

Geek!!! You are so right - TOTAL when-Grandma-was-a-little-kid look!
10LOL does she think she is Dita von Teese or Kensley from project runway? You have to be a certain type of lady to pull these bangs off, and a uber tan face, coral lipstick, and brozer tells me Petra ain't that girl. Plus it makes the shape of her face look off.
11/Geek on
She totally looks like a Vulcan.
/Geek off
12They're not bad, but I don't love them. I do love the color, though. She looks much better as a brunette than as a blonde.

14Not a fan. Her face looks chubby with them.
Ew...horrible.
15No! No! No! Petra is one of my fav models but this is so wrong!
16totally wrong for her face shape, makes it look W I D E
17Hate it. To be fair, I don't like Bettie Page bangs on anyone, except perhaps Bettie Page. And even then it's questionable.
18She looks better when she doesn't try so hard.
19Oh no - those bangs don't look good on her at all. She does look like a preschooler and they don't compliment her face shape at all!
20Oh no - those bangs don't look good on her at all. She does look like a preschooler and they don't compliment her face shape at all!
21Love Bettie Page!! Like her bangs but don't love them. And as someone else commented I like the Brown on her much more than the Blonde.
22she looks like a character that belongs on the Flinstones cartoons. Yuck!
23she has a terrible style!
24the bangs look like its one hair piece sitting on her head and her curls look like another part of it
25I think people in general should avoid Bettie Page bangs. Period.
26This style looks good on some people, but not Petra. Here's a different shot, with her hair pulled back. I think this is even worse:

27well i said love it, though its more like i like it, but after looking at it awhile its really ugly....
28Not Cute On Her At All.
She's Still Spectacular...
Just With Bad Bangs.
29I am in the minority, but I love them. I wish I had longer hair - I'd definitely try to pull bettie bangs off!
30I like it.
31This is just not working for her.
32i kinda like it
33oh NO NO NO, what the f. did she do to her beautiful face?!!! I CAN'T believe it!!!!
34Meh..no. She doesn't have the look down. Its a decidedly retro style that needs the right, total look to work it properly. What's worse, it looks like two haircuts..the retro bangs,and the rest completely modern?
Nono.
Like someone mentioned above, Kensley from Project Runway this season has the perfect face, makeup style, clothing and suchlike to make the look work for her. I do not think you have to have a "thin face" (neither she nor Dita Von Teese have oval faces), but you do have to consider the overall effect, and this woman certainly has not done so.
Bettie Page + tan + my grandmother's coral Revlon lipstick lookalike?
Bad!
35hate it, makes her nose looks gigantic.
36I like it. All photos of celebs look bad because of awkward posing and bad lighting. Change the location where her face is dead center and add some natural light, and it would look MUCH better.
37It's not the bangs as much as the combination of those bangs with wavy long locks.
38a stylist once did this to me and I walked out of the salon in tears.
39They are horrid on EVERYONE
Hmm. I don't think they're *that* bad. The rest of the hairstyle doesn't fit it.
I do LOVE the color on her. The darker hair suits her much better than blonde for sure.
40These look GREAT on a select few and your style really has to match (I'm thinking Dita von Teese or Katy Perry here). I had these cut for myself and was miserable a few years back - it makes huge demands on your image. Not a good look for Petra and doesn't do her round face any favors - I had the same problem!
41I love her lip colour.. can anyone recommend a lipstick or gloss that's close to that shade? (preferably MAC or Chanel)
42star 54, you might try something like NARS Heat Wave, or MAC Lady Danger....both are pretty punchy, matte orange-reds.
43hm wait...I am thinking of the Scarlett Johannson photo..! lol..
This is more coral than orange-red..give me time to think about it. I am sure MAC makes one like this....trying to remember the name, I think it was "Rizzo"
44Ok, here you go..I think Rizzo is discontinued..Vegas Volt should get you the look, I think.
You can easily pull it warmer or redder with the right liner to tone it up or down.
Revlon used to make an amazing coral but it is pretty oldschool. If you want me to try to find it, I can

45ooh thank you!
46Vegas Volt looks pretty good. I'll definitely try it at the counter, the colours are sometimes way off on the site, but the descriptions help.
I know MAC will have what I'm looking for, they have a great colour range.
I can't even tell you how many lip products I've bought in search of that perfect coral shade...
Thanks again
Sure! Hope it works out
47i think the bangs need to be a bit more layered to work on her face...
48Awful.
49They look like clip ons because they're so heavy and just sit there. Here's to hoping.
