pin-up style

Classic bombshell look

Pin-up style refers to the aesthetic of mid-20th-century glamour photography and illustration, featuring women in flirtatious poses with retro styling—victory rolls, red lipstick, high-waisted shorts, and playful expressions.

The look evokes 1940s and 1950s magazine pinups that soldiers hung on walls.

Today it describes fashion, makeup, and photography that channels that vintage sex appeal: She went full pin-up style for the rockabilly festival.
