MODERN reached out to its readers this week to get their reactions to the legendary style of one of Hollywood’s great icons—Elizabeth Taylor. Taylor, who died this week, made a major impact on the beauty industry with her classic beauty and violet eyes. Read on to see the impact she had on beauty professionals.
When MODERN editors heard the news of Elizabeth Taylor’s passing, we mourned the loss of a great actress, stunning beauty and hair icon. From National Velvet to Cleopatra, Taylor’s styles were always an inspiration to the beauty community. Her signature brunette shade coupled with her famous violet eyes were magic—on screen and off. And as one of the world’s most photographed women in an industry filled with blondes, fans couldn’t get enough of her dark, mysterious look. Still today, people are drawn to images of her.
