Last week we talking about Carey Mulligan’s completely adorable vintage style dresses in An Education. Another character who has a great retro wardrobe is Beth Young on “Desperate Housewives.” Played by Emily Bergl, Beth, unlike Mulligan’s character, is a modern-day woman simply paying homage to the fashions of a typical 1950′s housewife. And boy does she look the part — take a look:

Yeah, we don't recommend the pistol as a fashion accessory. Swap it out for a cute handbag or sunglasses.
Notice a trend? Beth Young sticks to a very simple (but very cute) formula — floral printed retro style dresses with a fun but classic cardigan over top. And check out those cat-eye glasses! Clearly she has a sixth sense when it comes to upcoming trends. She keeps her hair and makeup simple but elegant, and something tells me she wouldn’t be caught dead without a pair of kitten heels. All in all, Beth Young might just be the perfect style icon for the upcoming season — she looks like she could have just stepped off the spring 2011 runway!
