Hair and Makeup

Loose curls and feathered bangs were classic "Charlie's Angels" trends. Get a layered haircut and use a wide-barreled curling iron to curl your hair in curls that flip up and outward. Part your hair in the center as well. If your hair is dramatically different than this look, opt for a wig that recreates the look. Accent your eyes by using shimmery eyeshadow and a full, dark coating of mascara and eyeliner. Add rose-colored blush and pink, glossy lipstick to round out your look.
Props

Carry a pistol as your primary prop. You could also attach a set of handcuffs on your belt and carry a badge with you as well.
