6th October 1964: The American girl group The Supremes including Diana Ross (centre). (Photo by Evening Standard/Getty Images)
Get ready for me to just keep saying things like, "EVERYONE LOOKS GLAMOROUS." The 1960s press LOVED photos of famous people getting off planes.
1965

Here, the Supremes are doing a low-ley product placement for Polaroid camera. Informative Caption tells me, "They arrived at a London Airport from Copenhagen to appear in 'Ready Steady Go' and 'Thank Your Lucky Stars," and also advertise cameras. I love Diana's fur pillbox. (There is a lot of fur in this collection of photos.)
1965

We've got -- as you probably know -- Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard performing together here as the Supremes. I love this dress, and I think a celebrity could easily wear it now.
1967

Fast forward and Cindy Birdsong has replaced Florence Ballard. (Poor Florence had a tough go of it; she is, of course, heavily influenced the character of Effie White in Dreamgirls.) This outfit is honestly amazing.

Speaking of adorable...Paul McCartney.

18th November 1968: Elizabeth, the Queen Mother (1900 - 2002) goes backstage to meet the Supremes, Engelbert Humperdinck, Frankie Howerd and Petula Clark after a Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium. The show is in aid of the Variety Artistes' Benevolent Fund. (Photo by Douglas Miller/Keystone/Getty Images)
This is an amazing Informative Caption: "Elizabeth, the Queen Mother (1900 - 2002) goes backstage to meet the Supremes, Engelbert Humperdinck, Frankie Howerd and Petula Clark after a Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium. The show is in aid of the Variety Artistes' Benevolent Fund." I was WONDERING who old Sideburns is over there past the Queen Mum -- of course it's Humperdink.
1968

This was a promotion shoot for the album "Love Child," and if you didn't at least internally sing LOVE CHILD NEVER MEANT TO BE, we're very different people.

EXCUSE ME. GLAMOROUS. I

Youths are going to rediscover this look so soon. Also, when I put this into Google Lens to see if I could get an ID on the man behind her, it tried to tell me this is IKE AND TINA TURNER. IT TRULY IS NOT.

And this one is sincerely iconic. EVERYTHING about this photo is perfect. Her shirt. The shirtless dude. The hand.

AMAZING. Paps shots aren't like this anyone. (This is the work of Ron Galella, the most influential paparazzi photographer of all time.)

She is perfect and an icon and yet...this dress might be slightly dumb.
1982

Lionel Richie will never forgive me for saying that.

I remember this vibe so vividly.
1990

Tracee Ellis Ross over there looks SO ANNOYED to be involved in any of this. And this is at the Oscars, no less!

Ms. Ross looks like she's trying to decide whether or not to tell Brooke something Brooke isn't going to want to hear.
1990

There are some pics from this event that led me to Google is Bryant Gumbel and Diana Ross ever dated. They did not. But maybe they should have -- they're both so good-looking.
1993

This is Thierry Mugler and I assume she's wearing Thierry Mugler; this look is GREAT.
