Nowadays, the styling of actresses in costume dramas has simply become the hardest hit area of "copy and paste", especially those characters who know martial arts, stylists don't seem to be too lazy to use their brains, and the hairstyles are either full or high ponytails, which are the same, making the audience call "aesthetic fatigue"!
Chivalrous girl, this character is not synonymous with styling! blindly high ponytail not only perfunctory, but also makes the audience shake their heads. Zhao Liying, in 2017, combed a high ponytail in "The Legend of Chu Qiao", and in 2020, she combed a similar one in "You Fei", and her hairstyle and hair accessories have not changed, which is simply a model of "copy and paste".
and Yang Mi, who is also a high ponytail and a hair crown in "Mrs. Huzhu" in 2021, does this stylist have an indissoluble relationship with a high ponytail? Let's take a look at this year's "Let's Try the World", Zhao Lusi is also a high ponytail, a headband, a full bundle of hair and a hair crown, does this stylist think that chivalrous women should be like this? In order to look full, she also pads her hair high, and has two strands of beard bangs in front of her forehead, plus the yellow eyebrows made by the eyebrow cream, this chivalrous woman looks like a catfish, which makes people cry and laugh.
Designing the hairstyle of a heroine in ancient costume into a bunch or a high ponytail really saves time and effort, and it looks smart and neat. However, the makeup and hair, which is not new at all, are not the same, nor do they reflect the personality differences of the roles played by different actors. Let's look back at the previous costume dramas, the chivalrous girl has a variety of styles, double braids, princess cuts, half-draped and half-bundled hair, and hairballs hanging on her head, which one is not both unique and good-looking?
In 1986's "Yue Nu Sword", A Qing played by Li Saifeng, the shape is bright and lively, with a hair bag on the top of her head, a round and full bun combed out, and various decorations are added, which is simply beautiful. and 1995's "The Legend of Xiang Shuai", Shangguan Wuji played by Yang Lijing, the hairstyle is also fresh and refined, and it is a little sweet. Similarly, there is also Li Ting in "White Eyebrows", who plays two roles, and her style also has its own merits, so that the audience can tell who is who at a glance.
Looking at the current costume dramas, the actors' movements are stiff and dull, and the shapes are becoming more and more homogeneous, and the high ponytails of all colors make people sleepy. In the previous costume martial arts dramas, it was a beautiful and sassy chivalrous dress and a smooth martial arts scene, which made people's blood boil. What now? Hey, I can only say that it is difficult to say. I really hope that the stylists can use their brains more and bring us a fresh chivalrous look!
