The Thatch Hairstyle
It's been 30 years since The Thatch (AKA Margaret Thatcher) came to power, and though most of the Iron Lady's policies are now obsolete, her legacy lives on through the A-list - namely in the shape of her 'helmet hair' barnet! Us GLAMOUR.com Girls love an unlikely style icon, so here's to The Thatch, and the brave starlets - Aggy, Paris and Drew to name but a few - who have been rocking 'granny chic' on the red carpet...

Aggy’s show-stopping red carpet look could not have BEEN more modelled on Margaret. But can she pull it off? The jury’s out on this one.

Big and bouffant was the order of the day for red carpet Drew.

A little volume, a shampoo-and-set and a whole lotta hairspray et voila. This looks strangely sophisticated on the usuallyOTT Paris.

Monica takes trend-watching to another level with a Thatch-inspired up-do. We like!

Where: The Met Ball 2009
The Thatch was a popular choice for many at this year’s Met Gala, with Liv adding a little Iron lady-inspired va-va-voom to her natural wave.

Working the Thatch without an A-list twist only looks ageing on CZJ

That’s more like it. Teaming über-body at the crown with subtly curled length is the way to work The Thatch in ’09.
