In Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Taylor plays the beautiful Maggie, a wife who tries to steer her husband away from alcohol, while guilting and taunting him about their relationship. The glossy yet sheer high voltage lips combined with the revealing white dress enhance her alluring appeal.

Taylor transformed into the powerful egyptian queen Cleopatra for the 1963 epic drama, Cleopatra. Gilded skin, jet black hair, and jewel accents combined with her iconic egyptian cat eye. This look influenced and popularized eyeliner and bold lines in the 60's.
