Ain't no party like an onscreen party because an onscreen party . . . offers fresh inspiration for retro beauty looks you can copy this weekend. Keep reading to find hairstyles from our favorite holiday scenes, both classics and more current.

Love Actually
OK, so technically this was a wedding scene, but we can't pass up an opportunity to talk about Keira Knightley's gorgeous hairstyle in Love Actually. The keys to re-creating this look are the loose tendrils around the face and the feathered hair accessory. Try this Nana' Beverly Feather Flower Headband ($450) for a similar look.
New Year's Eve
We'll probably skip the cheesy New Year's Eve headband, but Lea Michele's straight style from the New Year's Eve movie is one we can easily see ourselves in this season. Take a flat iron to your strands for a similar look. If you're planning to be outside for the festivities, finish it off with an antifrizz serum like Alterna Frizz-Correcting Styling Lotion ($22).
Holiday
Cary Grant stole our hearts in the classic movie Holiday, but it's Katharine Hepburn whose hair we want to copy. This retro look is easy to create at home. Curl hair, and immediately wrap warm hair in Velcro rollers. Let hair set for 30 minutes or more, then remove hair curlers before your event. Brush out, and go!
200 Cigarettes
Christina Ricci's party look from 200 Cigarettes has a vintage element mixed with tough-girl glamour. To pull off this victory-roll bang, curl hair tightly. Then, make a deep side part. Brush up into one roll, securing your fringe with bobby pins. The leather jacket is optional.
Best Man Holiday
The sequel to Best Man is quickly becoming a new classic. The women in the film sport styles perfect for dinner with your family. Get Sanaa Lathan's waves with a Triple Barrel Waver ($35). If you don't have that tool in your arsenal, braid your hair and set it with a flat iron for the same look.
When Harry Met Sally
Who could forget Meg Ryan's curls in the closing scene of When Harry Met Sally? Dust off your smallest set of hot rollers, and set them in your hair vertically to get '80s-worthy ringlets. Use a rat-tail comb to tease your roots for extra volume.
