60s Sex Kitten: A Guide

The term "sex kitten" is something that hasn't been used in Hollywood in decades. Usually in reference to stars like Brigitte Bardot and Eartha Kitt, it is often vaguely defined as "a young woman with conspicuous sex appeal who asserts or exploits her sexual attractiveness". It's important to note that physical attractiveness is not the key factor here but sexual appeal is.

What's referred to as a "sex kitten" is probably what we call a coquette or minx today. She embraces her sexuality with a coyish grace. She's erotic and sensual, but not overtly so, and often times uses her sexual appeal to get what she wants. Looking at the women who fell under this category, they all had a doll-like look about them. They were perfectly put together, flirty, sexy, but still retained an innocent almost childlike air about them.

♡ Bigger Hair is Better Hair!

Voluminous hair was all the rage in the 60s, and the iconic "beehive" was notably seen on celebrities like Diahann Carroll, Eartha Kitt, and Priscilla Presley. Perfectly teased voluminous hair gives a glamorous aura to your look. Fluffy hair can make you look like a living doll, almost unreal, like a fantasy!

♡ Be a tease, please!

Mini, mini, mini! Fill your closet with mini skirts and dresses. Buy some that leave a little wiggle room so that the loose fit + short length combo plays off one another. You're showing just enough skin and curves to spark someone's curiosity and imagination. Do not shy away from color! Get them in pink, green, blue, orange, yellow, and every color of the rainbow that you can find! You're sexy but fun. Other items include turtlenecks, stockings/socks, and boots (preferably knee high or go-go).

♡ Living Doll!

The makeup is all about pink, blue, dramatic liner, and big doll-esque lashes. The eyes were the focus, and the socket crease was always outlined with dark shadow or a pencil. Adding or drawing in bottom lashes was very common. Be very liberal with the mascara and be sure to keep the lips a pale pink or nudey color to keep the attention on the eyes.

♡ Pretty Hands!

Nails are almost always going to be almond or oval shaped. During this era, variations of pink and red and nude were most common. They were shaped in a way that appeared natural but well groomed. They were usually kept at a tasteful length. Here's a 60s nail ad!

♡ Embrace your sexuality and appeal! This could honestly have nothing to do with your sex life at all but merely how you carry yourself. Seduce entire rooms with your eyes and have people hanging onto your every word. Be flirty, but coy. Be alluring, but keep an air of mystery! In your sex life, be fun and playful and make it so that your partner(s) struggles to keep up with your energy!
