Marvel’s Agent Carter TV series follows the fierce and feisty Peggy Carter, the fan-favourite character from the Captain America films.
Played by the gorgeous Hayley Atwell, Peggy’s elegant 1940s style and ball-busting attitude is a daring take on what it meant to be a woman at the end of the Second World War.
Want to get the Agent Carter look? We reveal how to get her character’s signature style – ball-busting attitude not included!
Lips
Peggy’s trademark red lips stay perfect even after a tussle with the bad guys. According to star Hayley Atwell herself, the product used is Besame’s Red Velvet Lipstick.
Nails
Hayley also tweeted Peggy’s official nail colour of choice – the limited edition shade ‘Cinnamon Sweet’ by OPI.
Eyes
Peggy wears a faint, smudgy smoky eye. To recreate the look, try mixing a little black and grey eyeshadow together and patting it lightly over your eyelids, blending out carefully to achieve a very subtle smoky finish. Be careful not to over-do it with the eyeliner, and finish off with mascara.
Hair
Peggy’s hair is chocolate brown and is usually styled in soft, wavy curls. Occasionally, it’s pinned up for more formal occasions. Talk to your hairdresser about getting a vintage hairstyle, or give it a go at home with curling tongs.
Clothes
Rummage around your local opshop or vintage store for a tailored Agent Carter look, or websites like Etsy and Pinterest have plenty of vintage patterns available for sale, as well as links to vintage retailers.
