When it comes to pin-up girl style, there's very little that can rival the glamour of Betty Grable hairstyles.
Born in 1916, Betty was thrust into the spotlight at 12 when she embarked on her film career - encouraged by an overzealous mother who encouraged her to lie about her age and bleach her hair blonde.
It was the 1940s that cemented Betty's star status, with her trademark blonde curls piled high on her head - although it was her legs that were insured, allegedly for a million dollars by Lloyd's of London.
For anyone who loves a vintage-inspired updo, Betty's got to be top of the list for idea. Whether worn in victory rolls - a look which she popularised as a pin-up during World War II - or brushed out into loose, flowing romantic waves, Betty's hair remains an inspiration to this day.
Take a peek through the gallery below to see some of our favourite Betty Grable hairstyles to inspire.
