UPDATED 2/8/2022 Audrey Hepburn's beehive, Elvis Presley's quiff and Jennifer Aniston's 'Rachel' cut were named among the most iconic hairstyles in history. Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck, Global Creative Director for Toni & Guy, who conducted the survey, said: "Audrey Hepburn's beehive in Breakfast At Tiffany's is a style almost everyone is familiar with, even if they have never seen the film." The image of her with her dark hair piled up while she is holding a cigarette holder is one of the most recognizable film images of all time.... The fact that the famous style is still topping these kinds of lists half a century since the film was released shows how iconic it really is — and it gained even more fans when the film was re-released not that long ago. The top ten features styles from across the last 50 or so years — from Katherine Hepburn's beehive, right through to Jennifer Aniston's face-framing layers — and really show how style and fashion have evolved over the years. These styles are instantly recognizable, despite many of them being from a whole generation ago — and they will probably still be as iconic for generations to come." 1.
