The 60's were a time of simplistic shapes, risk taking colors, and individuality. There was so much influence in fashion from outside sources such as music like the Beatles and Janis Joplin, but also movies like my personal favorite, Valley of the Dolls, had a great style impact.

10. Janis Joplin
Janis Joplin born in January 1943, started her career as the lead singer of Big Brother and the Holding Company and afterwards, began performing solo. Thats probably why Rolling Stone Magazine ranked her at number 46 on their list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Joplin's style was hippie-chic. She often wore multiple necklaces, bracelets, and large earrings paired with oversized glasses. The majority of her tops were very free-styled, flowing or very loose fit, and she paired them often with crochet vests and fun be-dazzled belts.

| Sonny and Cher |
With a career spanning over forty years, Cher's style has truly stood the test of time. From her long legs, her simplistic edge, and her endless talent, Cher truly made the sixties, a fashionable affair. Featured here in a white mini dress, and her iconic straight hair, Cher's effortless look and courageous sense of style, put her at number 9 on my list.

Who doesn't know Goldie Hawn? With an impeccable acting resume, stunning features, and corky sense of style, Hawn shows us how to have fun with fashion. From winning her first Oscar in 1969 for her role in Cactus Flower, to my personal favorite, The First Wives Club, Hawn is truly the epitome of talent. Featured here, is Goldie wearing an effortless green minidress, with edgy ruffles and detail. Its free and simple, but with a little push.

You may not know Anita Pallenberg by name, but you do know her notorious boyfriend, Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones whom she was with until 1980. Although having only small roles in films and films, her effortless style, as seen above, puts her at my list at number 7.

Known as the "it-girl", Edie was one of Andy Warhol's superstars, starring in many of his short films and even having an outstanding modeling career. Sadly, Edie's life was cut short not long after the decade had ended, but her sassy pixie cut and daring patterns are still remembered in the fashion world today.

Bardow, a French fashion model, actress, and singer, set the stage for glamour in the 60's. With her unique style, and trend setting nature, Brigette popularized such pieces as the bikini and even got the fashion world to name a neckline after her called "the bardot" which is a wide open neck that exposes both shoulders. The shot above was taken by paparazzi, but really showcases Brigette's elegant taste. With her knee high boots and long retro coat, Bardow's style is still starting trends and influencing designers.

4. Twiggy
The girl who set the stage for model's everywhere makes my list and number 4. Twiggy, or Leslie Hornby, made fashion history with her short pixie cut, thin frame, and large eyes. The pieces she wore were bold, accentuating bold colors and patterns. Twiggy's name is still legendary today along with her style, and unique look. Here, she is shown wearing a hot pink dress, bold silver medallion earrings, and white tights, a funky yet fresh look.

The name Jackie O is synonymous with style. As the first lady to President Kennedy, Jackie brought glamour and ease to the White House with her suit jackets, sunglasses, and gloves, and set the trends for women everywhere. When you think sophisticated, you think Jackie O.

Audrey Hepburn, the star of such beloved classics as Breakfast at Tiffany's, My Fair Lady, and Sabrina, is iconic for her elegant style. She brought charm to fashion, with her cutesy ensembles and form fitting pieces, and made black big. Above, is one of my favorite outfits because its simple and really shows that clothing is made to enhance the body and one's shape. Hepburn, to this day, is seen as one of the biggest fashions icons in history, and one of the most influential people in terms of style.

Maybe its her engaging beauty, maybe its her unique outlook on fashion, or maybe its just because I love Valley of the Dolls, Sharon Tate is number one. Tate, born in 1943 and wife of famed movie director Roman Polanski, had a style that was all her own. Sharon's style was angelic, with short mini dresses and tight skinny jeans, her fashion sense was impeccable and timely. Although Sharon's life was brutally cut short, her style, talent, and beauty live on for future generations of fashionistas. Sharon is my inspiration for all of my fashion choices, and is my model when it comes to style.
