Style Crush: Farrah Fawcett

Dream girl alert.

Farrah Fawcett had the Best Hair Ever. It was the original Rachel. A cascade of tousled blonde waves that was soon dubbed the Farrah-do and the Farrah Flip.

“People were lining up down the street,” said her stylist Allen Edwards of those who wanted in on The Farrah.

While she’ll forever have a spot in the Hair Hall of Fame, there’s more to The Farrah than Wella commercials.

The actress, model, artist won hearts and her place in teenage boys dreams thanks to a red one-piece on the best-selling poster in history and as Jill Munroe on Charlie's Angels (the original).

With one hell of a smile, the former microbiology student and all-American sweetheart tried her luck in Hollywood and came good. She married the Six Million Dollar Man, inspired The Midnight Train To Georgia and found herself nominated for both Emmys and Golden Globes.

Her style, though, is something we’ll be chasing for years to come. She was Californian-cool. Flares and crew-neck t-shirts, oversized blazers, and plenty of slinky silk the way the 70s showed us how it was done. We want in.
