Not everyone can work a corset and petticoat. Hollywood's reigning period drama divas boast ageless beauty, like "The Duchess'" Keira Knightley, and a natural grace that radiates on and off the big screen. Hold onto your bonnet.
Timeless beauty Nicole Kidman looks as comfortable on horseback as she does strolling down the red carpet. Softly defined eyes, arched eyebrows and a glossy pink-toned lip color highlight her retro appeal.
Emily Blunt, who suited up recently in voluminous gowns to play "Young Victoria," looks pretty as a picture in silvery blue shadow, rosy cheeks and a pale pink pout.
Cate Blanchett burst onto the scene as the ultimate queen in "Elizabeth," and always looks regal on the red carpet. Smoky eyes and a glossy pout are two of this Aussie's beauty trademarks.
Winona Ryder stays out of the spotlight these days, but she starred in an avalanche of period dramas in the '90s, including "Dracula." The quirky beauty plays up her baby browns with dark liner and accents her full pout with a wine-hued lipstick.
Kate Winslet's roles have taken her time traveling through the ages. But when it comes to beauty, the British star keeps it modern, playing up her deep baby blues with major mascara and shimmering brown shadow.
