Elizabeth Taylor's Changing Looks
1947
The ravishing child star star, born Feb. 27, 1932, made her transition to teen flicks with Cynthia and Life with Father. She passed away March 23, 2011.
1949
The teenaged Little Women star began to make her transition into adult roles with buoyant waves and a come-hither stare.

Taylor drew attention to her strong brows and famous violet eyes with a trendy pixie style in The Girl Who Had Everything. Offscreen, she gave birth to Michael Howard Wilding, her son with second husband Michael Wilding.

Her stylish turn in Cleopatra proved she could carry even the wildest of onscreen looks.

1969
The mother of four adopted a bohemian look that included a crown of braids coiled over loose locks.
1970
Even the 69.42-carat Taylor-Burton diamond couldn't compete with her violet eyes.
1985
With her salt-and-pepper pouf and well-defined brows, the 53-year-old took on the '80s looking better than ever.

The breathtaking 60-year-old presented at the Academy Awards in fuchsia lipstick and lavender lined eyes.

She borrowed a Van Cleef & Arpels diamond daisy necklace in which to receive the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the Oscars. After the evening, "Elizabeth Taylor decided it was her good-luck necklace and bought it," the jeweler's Muffie Potter once told InStyle.
1998
Stylish even in strife, Taylor let her hair go strikingly silver following a surgery to remove a benign brain tumor. "True glamour comes from within," she said at an event thrown in her honor by the CFDA. "It radiates from the soul."

She returned to the Cannes Film Festival with an apricot-hued coif.
