Leonardo DiCaprio: Look Book
From floppy-haired heartthrob to bona fide Hollywood heavyweight, we chart the best looks of GLAMOUR.com's all-time biggest crush. Like, ever.
Rex Features1990
Already a TV regular by the tender age of 16 – yes, we’d agree that he doesn’t look a day over 11, too – Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio sports long, blond curtains. A precursor to those long, flowing locks that we’re all destined to fall in love with, just six years later.
Rex Features1993
Handpicked by Robert DeNiro himself, from over 400 young actors, the writing was on the wall for Leo when he landed the part of Tobias Wolff in This Boy’s Life. The buzz cut is less of a success.

Pictured on the set of What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? and starring opposite another Hollywood heavyweight – this time, Johnny Depp – a 19-year-old Leo, with tousled wet-look locks was fast turning into a 90s dreamboat.
Rex Features1995
Just a year before filming starts for his break-out role in a certain Shakespearean adaptation that you may or may not know, 21-year-old Leo looks hot to trot with a bona fide 90s bowl cut, framing the most angelic of faces.
Rex Features1996
Whoa, man. Even windswept Leo does it for us.
Rex Features1996
Looking every-inch the modern-day Romeo, Leonardo DiCaprio’s disheveled blond hair complete with that those dark and dangerous brows, are about to catapult (or Capulet him, if you will) into super-stardom.
Rex Features1996
Move over Nick Carter from Backstreet Boys, say sayonara to Luke Perry because there’s another boy crush in town. A still from Romeo + Juliet… Have dyed blond curtains ever looked so good?

The white John Travolta shirt, black suit and mussed-up hair = classic Leo at the Romeo + Juliet premiere in LA.
Rex Features1997
Be still our beating hearts. As the ill-fated Jack Dawson in Titanic, women of the world were instantly captivated by the 23-year-old actor, inducing a pandemic of Leo Mania. The hair’s not bad either, and for die-hard fans, you’ll remember this is when he utters the immortal line, “So, you wanna go to a real party?”. Yes we do, Leo. Yes. We. Do.
1997
Even in between takes, as he mucks around with pal Kate Winslet, Leo looks smokin' hot.
Titanic is released for the first time ever on Blu-ray & Blu-ray 3D on 10th September - so hop to it!
Rex Features1998
Now one of the most famous faces on the planet – and why ever not, when you’re that beautiful? – Leonardo DiCaprio braved the world’s media for his first film since the blinding success of Titanic at the UK premiere of The Man In The Iron Mask. Yes, we totally dug the boyband spiky ‘do, too.
Rex Features1998
And in the aforementioned film, Leonardo worked a somewhat different look, sporting mousy brown extensions for his role as King Louis XIV and his twin brother Philippe. We still would.
Rex Features2000
After taking some time out, a 26-year-old Leo returned to the big screen in The Beach. Looking older and more worldly-wise, Leo’s naturally-fair hair was artfully teased into a quiff – remember them? – as he showed off his new stubbled chin and jaw at the film’s UK premiere in London. Breathe, ladies. Breathe
Rex Features2002
Come 2002 and Leo was making real, critically-acclaimed headway in Hollywood. Not least thanks to a star turn as conman Frank Abagnale Jr in Catch Me If You Can. Fifties retro specs teamed with swept-back Don Draper hair was an instant winner.
Rex Features2002
On the red carpet for the New York premiere of Catch Me If You Can, Leo sports somewhat darker, more natural locks. The now-trademarked curtains seem to have made a comeback, too, albeit with a sneaky side-parting.
Rex Features2003
As he nears his 30th birthday, Leo shows a more grown-up hair and beauty look. Cue mobster slicked-back locks and a perfectly-trimmed goatee.
Rex Features2004
As Howard Hughes in Martin Scorsese’s sweeping epic The Aviator, Leo turns on the charm with a perfectly pruned ‘tache and side-parted chestnut hair. Mmm. Mmmmm!
Rex Features2004
Politically and environmentally clued-up, it was no surprise to see Mr. DiCaprio rock up to the Farenheit 9/11 screening in New York. Now regularly snapped sporting a goatee, the actor keeps his unruly locks under cover of his favourite baseball cap.
Rex Features2004
At the Hollywood Film Festival Awards, Leo let’s his usually perfectly coiffed ‘do go footloose and fancy-free for the evening, letting those tendrils fall onto his face. Hot.
Rex Features2005
Possibly our favourite Leo look since Romeo + Juliet, the 31-year-old star positively dazzles on the SAG Awards red carpet. The side-swept, slicked-back thing is totally hot, while the goatee is now just a hint of a designer stubble. Oh Leo, just marry us, already.
Rex Features2006
At a press conference for The Departed at the Toronto Film Festival, Leo’s easy-breezy styling with gently mussed-up locks at the front, sends our hearts-a-flutter, once again.
Rex Features2007
On a rare day off whilst shooting Ridley Scott’s Body Of Lies, Leo looks almost unrecognisable with jet black hair and a bushy beard, to boot. Whilst not one of our favourite looks on him, a love like ours last a lifetime and so, we’ll let this one slip.
Rex Features2008
Picking up the coveted Leading Man Of The Year gong at American GQ’s annual Men Of The Year bash, Leo is 100% back to his best. Just how we like him, sporting slicked back hair, that blue shirt really makes his dreamy azure-coloured peepers pop, too.
Rex Features2010
Indeed, after years sporting this same look it appears that Leonardo DiCaprio does not age, and if he does, he does so like a fine wine – only getting better and better.
Rex Features2012
On the set of The Wolf Of Wall Street, Leo once again makes a return to the dark side.
2013
Taking on the role of the enigmatic Jay Gatsby in Baz Lurhmann’s big-budget adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, Leonardo channels the 20s with primped side-parted hair and a clean-shaven jaw you could cut glass on. Swoon.
2013"More hot photos of a brooding Leo as Jay Gatsby!", you cry? Well your wish is our command...
2013In another still from the cinematic event that is Baz Lurhmann's The Great Gatsby, Leo is even mega-hot as he has a heated conversation on the ol' dog and bone.
2013Ol' blue eyes 2.0
2013Yeah. It's confirmed. We're big fans of Leonardo DiCaprio blonde.
PA Photos2013Getting inspiration from his slick Gatsby look, Leo goes for a swept back style. We're not sure about those wayward floppy strands, however.
