Was the secret to Juliet's many admirers her hair? We certainly don't think it hurt her any. To make her feathery wedding updo a bit more modern, we spoke with Antonio Corral Calero, Global Creative Director of Moroccanoil.
To start, Calero suggests using a small drop of an oil-infused product like Moroccanoil Oil Light, $43, on towel-dried hair to boost shine before blowing dry. To eliminate the early 2000s structured curl going on here, Calero advises splitting the hair into one- to two-inch sections and curling with a 1.5-inch barrel iron, then running your fingers through the curls once they've cooled.
Finish off the look by pulling hair back into a loose bun and letting the ends fall out around your face. Get creative by adding in some feathers, jewelry or other embellished hair accessories, which Calero says "will soften the look so it doesn't look fixed."

Pumped Up Pout: Cameron Diaz in "The Holiday"
The trick to Diaz's full lip look in "The Holiday" is using pale hues, says Prior. "If you have full lips and want to celebrate them, go with a light color &hellip if you have thin lips and want them to look larger, use a light color and add a gloss on top," Prior says.
To really add dimension, Prior recommends using a lip liner, "making sure it's properly blended," so you don't end up with crazy big Kylie Jenner lips. Try IT Cosmetics Your Lips But Better Waterproof Lip Liner Stain in Buff Nude, $20, for a soft, natural look.

Flawless Finish: Rachel McAdams in "The Family Stone"
For skin as satiny smooth as McAdams's, Prior says a primer like Lancôme Visionnaire 1 Minute Blur, $55, will help even out skin tone and hide pores. Once you've applied foundation, dust a translucent powder like Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder, $34, over the face to set your makeup and reduce shine.

Holiday Shine: Reese Witherspoon in "Four Christmases"
The holidays are all about sparkle and light, so why shouldn't your hair follow suit? Getting Witherspoon's killer shine starts in the shower, says Jeffrey Jagged, a stylist at the Cristophe Salon. "For this look, don't skimp on a fantastic shampoo and conditioner. Make it your early Christmas gift to yourself," Jagged says. Try R+Co Moon Shine Shampoo, $24, and conditioner, $25.
Prep wet hair with "just a dab" of straightening fluid, then blow the hair dry in a downward direction, using a large round brush. To get hair super sleek without "that dated stick-straight look," Jagged recommends straightening large sections of hair with a ceramic flat iron, "rock[ing] the iron inward at the ends."

Smoky Eye: Penelope Cruz in "Noel"
Prior says the trick to creating a successful smoky eye like the one Penelope Cruz wore in "Noel" lies in "keeping all of the definition around the eyelid and lash line."
For instant drama, start with a heavy coat of mascara (like Napoleon Perdis Mesmer-Eyes Mascara, $39), then rim the waterline with a dark pencil. To amp up the effect even more, apply charcoal shadow along the lash line around the entire eye, from corner to corner.
