Twilight Ladies & Their Hairstyles

Introduction

Twilight Cast Twilight Ladies Left To Right Alice Cullen, Bella Swan, Rosalie Hale

The movie 'Twilight' which has been called one of the most epic romances since Titanic by Hollywood.com.

In fact, the movie has received stellar reviews from a long list of critics.

In the movie there's Bella, a new-girl-in-town who quickly discovers a very unusual family who lives in the sleepy town of Forks, Washington, where she has just moved.

The very special Cullen family hides a very dark secret regarding the fact they are all vampires.

Included in the Cullen family is Edward who immediately catches the eye of Bella.

Not only does the movie Twilight contain a fabulous storyline, it is bursting with a cast of female actresses with epic worthy hairstyles.

It is very interesting how radically different the Twilight women look on screen versus how they actresses who portray the various characters look in real life.

In some cases the Twilight character's hairstyles and colors were drastically different. Such was definitely the case of Alice Cullen, Rosalie Hale (Cullen) and Anna Kendrick.

Kristen Stewart - Bella Swan

Kristen Stewart Bella Swan

Leading the cast of gorgeous young women is Kristen Stewart who stars as the mesmerizing new-girl-in-town, Bella Swan. Yes, it's true she has the hots for Edward, who just happens to be from a family of vampires.

Before you judge you have to see the vamps, who are seriously gorgeous.

Born Kristen Jaymes Stewart on April 9, 1990, the auburn hued rising superstar began her acting career with a major co-starring role. She played the daughter of Jodie Foster in The Panic Room in 2002.

Kristen Stewart Twilight Premiere 2008

The 5'7" Kris or KStew, as her friends call her, wore her long brunette strands mostly straight for the movie. In fact, in some scenes Bella's hair might even be described as borderline stringy.

Her character Bella was known to be somewhat hair and fashion challenged so it was appropriate that her hair was mostly straight and borderline stringy.

The actress doesn't share Bella's fashion or hairstyle challenges or issues. Kristen was a vision of beauty at the LA Premiere of Twilight coiffed in a beautiful off-the-face updo which provided prefect balance for her slightly heart shaped face. Her tresses shimmered with auburn highlights and darker brunette lowlights.

The huge success of Twilight has caused Kristen's career to skyrocket. The multi-talented brunette actress has just signed on to play Joan Jett in the biopic The Runaways, about the punk practitioner's 1970s all-girl rock band responsible for "Cherry Bomb", Queens of Noise" and "Born to Be Bad".

Sarah Clarke Bella's Mom Renee Dwyer

Sarah Clarke - Renée Dwyer - Bella Swan's Mother

The primary reason Bella Swan has moved to Forks is due to the recent marriage of her eccentric mother, Renée, to a new husband.

Played by Sarah Clarke (born February 16, 1972), Renée is known to be a bad chef, chronically forgetful and extremely perceptive. The actress is best known for her role as Nina Myers on Fox Network's hit series 24.

As Sarah explained to the media in interviews about Twilight "The relationship of mother and daughter is very different, beautiful and complicated, and it shows in this story.''

In the movie Renée looks somewhat like her daughter Bella, but with shorter darker hair and blue eyes.

Of course off-camera Sarah Clarke and Kristen Stewart are not related and other than both having brunette tresses, look quite different.

Everybody wants a superpower, right?" Ashley also told MTV "I also love the fact she's such a good-hearted character".

Even when she was normal, she didn't want to be as beautiful as she was. She didn't want to stand out as much as she does. She just wanted to be like an average young woman who got married and had a family. "

Besides being described as incredibly beautiful, Rosalie is tall and statuesque, with an elegant figure similar to a model's. She has long blonde, wavy hair which cascades down to the middle of her back.

Renegade Vampire Rachelle Lefevre - Victoria

Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria Twilight 2008

Victoria, a renegade vampire, is almost as well-known for her gorgeous wild cascade of rich strawberry blonde ringlets as she is for her need to cause trouble as a scary female vampire.

Victoria's gorgeous hair color showcases her brilliant blue eyes and her stunning complexion.

Victoria is not part of the famous Cullen family of vampires. She runs with her own vampire crowd and is part of a key team of three who conspire to attack Bella.

Canadian actress Rachelle Lefevre (born Rachelle Marie Lefevre on February 1, 1979) is spectacular as bad girl Victoria. This vixen is one tough cookie. She has a very sexy line where she aggressively says "I love it when men chase me!"

She explains her role as "a nomadic vampire who is "very, very feline and just pure instinct". She noted "this is a woman who is half-cat and is extremely powerful and enjoys her power. And she's got this flaming-red hair, which I kind of have"

When discussing her role, Rachelle told the media "hell hath no fury like a vampire scorned." Victoria just happens to be that scorned vampire. Watch out, she's on the rampage.

The 5'6" LA based bi-lingual actress has been appearing in films since she played the lead role of Stacey Hanson in 1999's Big Wolf On Campus.

Rachelle became well-known to TV fans when she appeared on eleven episodes of Life With Brian as Heather from 2006 until 2007. She also stood out for her work on Swingtown as Melinda for five episodes in the Spring of 2008. The actress also had a small cameo in the movie Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind.

Her acting career has spanned a wide range of guest appearances on such shows as Veronica Mars, The Class, How I Met Your Mother, The Closer, CSI, Boston Legal, Life On Mars and Eli Stone.

Rachelle aggressively pursued the part of Victoria by writing a "three page" passionate letter to Twilight director Catherine Hardwick about her desire to be in the film. The letter worked and she found herself in the center of the film's frenzy, which she told the press "it's like being at a rock concert" with regard to the fan reactions.

It has already been announced that the vengeful vampire will have much more visibility in future Twilight movie sequels. Rachelle's character has a strong presence in Stephenie Meyer's second and third novels, New Moon and Eclipse. The New Moon movie is already underway with Eclipse expected to follow soon.

Rachelle is definitely up for the task of portraying the evil vampire in future Twilight films. She told the media she hopes to "show off her kickboxing" as well as her karate skills. She also hopes to use the role of the aggressive vampire to show off her acting chops. She is also working on trapeze classes to prepare for future vampire wire work.

Summary

The Women of Twilight all have unique hairstyles which are well suited to the personalities they demonstrate in the film. Although Rachelle Lefevre who plays the renegade vampire Victoria has almost an identical hairstyle on-screen, as she does off-screen. Many of the other Twilight women have completely different off-screen hairstyles, lengths and hair colors.

Regardless, hair and hairstyles play a major part of the Twilight film in helping to showcase the various women's styles and personalities.

What does the Twilight future hold for these gorgeous ladies? As Rachelle Lefevre told the media "I'm just going to hold on for the ride" since "this is by far the biggest thing I've ever been part of".

Indeed the next two Twilight sequels, if they are anywhere near as exciting as the original film are destined for huge success.
