Channel surfing the other evening I came across an old Johnny Carson episode of Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal. I can’t stop thinking about how beautiful she was and I could feel the love they had for each other.
In 1978 Farrah Fawcett captured the chain mail trend when she walked the red carpet in a plunging halter-neckline version from Stephen Burrows at the 50th annual Academy Awards. However, Fawcett stunned the beauty world with her locks of layered hair. Layers from short to long framed every beautiful inch of her face.
From dancing the night away at Studio 54 to attending the Annual Clint Eastwood Celebrity Tennis Tournament in 1973, Farrah has long influenced designers. Her signature looks—think flared jeans and the iconic red bathing suit didn't just define an era; they transformed how women viewed style and empowerment
For Spring Summer 2025 her icon shag with its shorter locks around the crown, and cascading shoulder grazing layers seen at Louis Vuitton made a statement. After seasons of the bob and lob Farrah’s sexy layers gave hair freedom and volume.
Farrah’s shaggy bangs were seen at Lowes cascading down the sides of models faces. Miu Miu even got in on the action with layered bangs blown across the forehead. Meanwhile models at Bottega Veneta wore Farrah wigs made from strands of leather.
One of her biggest beauty legacies was her voluminous hair created by stylist Jose Eber. Gravity defying and full of movement, Farrah’s big sexy hair will never go out of style.
Today women from all walks of life, celebrities, and Kate Middleton have some version of the Farrah.
