“Punk Sharon Tate”

This look comes from Sharon Tate’s character, Jennifer North, in the 1967 film Valley of the Dolls. Jennifer is this gorgeous, light, kind, young woman who is growing her career in show-business. However, her naivety and rough family relationships have misled her mind, leading her down some dark paths. She finds and loses the love of her life, experiments with drugs, and is diagnosed with cancer. She ultimately ends up deciding to end her life by swallowing her meds. I felt very drawn and connected to Sharon Tate through this role she beautifully portrayed. This led me to try to recreate a look from the movie, but with my own style, and my own vision.
