Princess Diana

Princess Diana was often described as very beautiful, but interestingly, you don't necessarily hear "sexy" used very much (one post to illustrate). Perhaps a hair makeover? She always parted on the left - almost every single picture i have ever seen is with her with a left part. On women, the left part emphasizes the masculine, assertive side, and generally hides the feminine side. Its a lot tricker with women to apply the hair part theory consistently, but its effect is still present in a lot of cases. Consider the following photos of Princess Di, all with a left part, followed by the one picture I have ever seen of her with a right part:



















So compare the general feeling you get from the above 3 very familiar, left hair parting, images of Princess Diana, with the only image I discovered where she is not wearing a left part...it was on a Newsweek cover for a commemorative edition. Different, no? Sexy, yes!
