Reign TV Series

I wasn't so keen on this TV series, but it shows the young life of Mary, Queen of Scots in 1557. To start with i thought the lead actress who played her was very attractive,  maybe to attractive to play Mary, but then it is not historically correct, just a fantasy to be more interesting to the viewer.

When it comes to the costume and accessories, i see a slight contemporary design in it and very fairy tale like period, in this image for example:-

The hair is wavy and slightly straight, with the plait, which does remind me of close to Elizabethan, but as it was still renaissance period and i think they added some designs from a few years before, with the rings and other accessories.

The makeup is very smouldering, then what it would have been at that time, and almost angelic. The lips had a slight colour to it and to much blush,  and were she doesn't have the white powder look enough,

 But then again this was her early life and was still renaissance, so it does have a bit of a greek goddess look, with the tan of a lower class woman at that time.

These clothing and make up do remind me of hippish clothing and dresses that are seen done at the 2015 catwalk recently and fashion that is in style at the moment.

Its not just Mary with this style, but the ladies in waiting too, That are dressed in very much the same thing,

But i like how it is contemporary, even the music, because it doesn't make it more interesting, then the same thing they do in every period film or TV show and the reason i think they are doing this now is maybe to have a contemporary audience to relate to.

On the makeup and clothing wise, she really is reminding me of  Blair Waldorf's style in Gossip Girl, with it being elegant, feminine, but not so innocent, such as:-

Thats what it reminds me of anyway, but it could be anything to anyone. I just thought it relates to that style, as it is modern.

Now for the hair, to me it looks slightly like the wavy hair with plaits, which is hippy like, which looks like this:-

In Reign the hair was plaited most of the time and very curly, which does remind me of these hair styles and what is modern today.
