The Dapper Dahlia

The Dapper Dahlia helps others curate the Old Hollywood closet of their dreams. With her distinct blend of vintage elegance and femme fatale energy, she shares how to dress like you just stepped off the silver screen. 

As a content creator and film noir enthusiast, Dahlia created the Noirvember Style Challenge in 2021 to celebrate the striking fashion from the genre and to connect film noir fans around the world. 

Dahlia has also dedicated countless hours to learning the glamorous hairstyles and makeup techniques of the 1940s; now she shares her best vintage beauty tips through video tutorials and photo inspiration. Additionally, she has worked with beauty brands including Ulta Beauty, Stila Cosmetics and Lancôme.

Dahlia holds a degree in advertising and has ten years of experience as a writer and editor for digital and nationally distributed print publications. She currently writes at thedapperdahlia.com.

When she’s not searching for incredible vintage attire, Dahlia enjoys acting, watching classic movies, swing dancing and sipping gin cocktails in jazz-filled bars.
