Dominated by her possessive mother and her bullying consort, Conroy, since childhood, teen-aged Victoria refuses to allow them the power of acting as her regent in the last days of her uncle, William IV's rule. Her German cousin Albert is encouraged to court her for solely political motives but, following her accession at age eighteen, finds he is falling for her and is dismayed at her reliance on trusty Prime Minister Melbourne. Victoria is impressed by Albert's philanthropy which is akin to her own desire to help her subjects. However her loyalty to Melbourne, perceived as a self-seeker, almost causes a constitutional crisis and it is Albert who helps restore her self-confidence. She proposes and they marry, Albert proving himself not only a devoted spouse, prepared to take an assassin's bullet for her, but an agent of much-needed reform, finally endorsed by an admiring Melbourne.

Hairstyles throughout the Film-
This hairstyle is very beautiful and I love the detail in the bun and at back. At the front of the hair its sectioned into a middle parting and the font, side fringe is in the ringlet together. The back of the hair is in a high bun and parts of it is plaited and twisted up. You can see the part that is sticking up is plaited and has a support for the design.
In this beautiful shot of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Victoria's hair is parted down the middle and the fringe is straight and sleek. The fringe is then pulled back into the bun, the ends of the fringe is either twisted or plaited to meet the bun. The bun is one plait twisted around to create the bun itself. . e hair is then decorated with flowers at the front of the hair and around the bun,
I chose this Film because its purely about the life of Queen Victoria when she first reigned the country. I thought no film could be any better to reference the Victorian era than a film about Queen Victoria herself. This film has many hair designs that you could reference to from the era. This film is set on the early life of Queen Victoria from being a Princess to becoming the Queen of England and getting together with Prince Albert in 1840. Queen Victorian and women throughout this film demonstrates a wide range of hairstyles from the mid Victorian era.

Daniel Deronda (TV mini series 2002)
Set in Victorian London, Gwendolen Harleth is drawn to Daniel Deronda, a selfless and intelligent gentleman of unknown parentage, but her own desperate need for financial security may destroy her chance at happiness
It is across the roulette table that Gwendolen Harleth first locks eyes with the enigmatic Daniel Deronda. Gwendolen is beautiful, vivacious, and a gambler, but desperate for financial security; something that possessive Henleigh Grandcourt would be able to provide for her. Daniel is the adopted son of an aristocratic, but doubtful of his own identity. He pours his energy into selflessly helping his friends, including poor Jewish singer Mirah Lapidoth. As Gwendolen's situation becomes dire, and Daniel seeks to uncover the mystery surrounding his own birth, their lives become intertwined...

Hairstyles throughout the series-
This hairstyle is obviously very late Victorian as
the ringlets are further at the back of the hairstyle
as the early-mid Victorian period the ringlets were
at the side of the head falling down the side of the
ears. One of the main characters in the mini TV
series is Gwendolen Harleth, here Gwendolen has
thick ringlets at the back of her hairstyle with
multiple curls in a large up-do with a hat slanted
forwards on the right side of the head. At the top of
the hairstyle the stylist had probably used padding
to heighten the style and then placed the ringlets on
top to cover and then gripped all the curls into place. The sides of the hair is scraped back in the do and
the top part under the hat looks curled. The style it very elaborate which definitely portrays the late
Victorian era.
On the left side of the photo the style looks as if its very short however if you look close the hair design is all gripped up into a pattern tight to the bottom of the head. It either looks like its been plaited very loosely and put up or pleated together and gripped to the head. The top part has a slight wave to the hair and the sides are scraped back to meet the waves at the top. It looks as if the top part is a hair piece and had been gripped into place. The fringe is curled however not into a ringlet a looser curl and had been brushed out and gripped to meet the back of the hair and flow to the wave at the top of the style. On the right hand side the hair has been completely pulled back into what looks like a very elaborate bun. The top part of the bun has a plait going over the top and the bottom looks like large curls have been twisted and gripped into places to create the full bun look. The bottom half of the hair has been put at separately than the top half and has joined together with the curls.
This design and overall look is very elaborate. The curls at the sides are very tight ringlets however is pulled off the face so its sitting just behind/ next to the ear, and the early Victorians are very much the side of the face. The curls have been nearly all gripped up tight to the top while the bottom half of the hair is down in very thick ringlets. There is probably only around 5 ringlets at the bottom half as they are so thick and again the ringlets are to the back of the head. The hat is placed on top in the centre of the head and attached is feathers on the top. The hairstyle is probably worked around the hat so it all fits into place and looks right.
I chose to this TV mini series to represent the hairstyles in the era as it has a wide variety of characters to reference. This TV series is set in the late Victorian era so between the film and TV series it shows a variety of hairstyles ranging from early- mid Victorian to mid-late Victorian and how the hairstyle change through the decades and become more elaborate.
