RECREATING LOOKS FROM BEAUTY ICONS by Mohua Goswami
DIANA ROSS
dazzling gowns with sultry slits, polished shoulder length bobs, glittering jumpsuits, oversized sunglasses, colorful furs- there is nothing that remains unchecked in her great, big fashion book. When someone mentions Diana Ross, my mind instantaneously conjures up this image of a charismatic persona in a shimmering Bob Mackie dress with fanning fuchsia feathers, glowing skin and a curled coif fit for a goddess. There isn’t a hairstyle that Ross hasn’t experimented with - trust me, I’ve done the research! From her Motown-era bouffant to the fabulosity that is her billowing afro, Diana would wear her hair with pride. The singer consistently proved that there are a million and one ways to rock a bob. As she moved towards her solo career, she let volume take the center stage in her outfits and in her hair. The higher, the better. She occasionally traded in more outrageous manes for slicked back dos. She experimented with braids, jazz-era finger waves, the 70s –pixie haircut, petrol blue afro and all kinds of hair accessories-her favorites being the black netted veil and blooms. She was undeniably the queen of tresses! TOP ZARA EARRINGS NORDSTROM RACK FACE KOSÅS COLOR & LIGHT PALETTE IN 8TH MUSE LIPS FLUIDE LIP GLOSS IN MOOD RING
