I didn't say it was ALL feathered hair. On this date in history -- and many others -- Mia Farrow was filming *Rosemary's Baby*. Iconique.

## JFK Jr., 1976

John-John was 16 in this shot, and looked very much like if he had not been born a Kennedy, he would have been in *Caddyshack*. (Okay, that was 1980, but you know. EVENTUALLY. He would have ASPIRED to be in *Caddyshack*.)

## 1977

He really liked his hair. Which is good because he had plenty of it.

## Debbie Harry, 1981

"Why the hell did I garotte my forehead?"

The waves! The towel! The Champs! The arms! The cargo pants!

## Janine Turner, 1984

She became so synonymous with her short Northern Exposure hair for such a long time; this is obviously well before that, with her looking like she's posing for the cover of one of those [Sweet Dreams romance novels](https://www.goodreads.com/series/358461-sweet-dreams?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (How is this NOT one of those? Also please enjoy [Courteney Cox's hair on hers](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3325983-the-last-word?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).)

## Bruuuuuce, 1985

And speaking of Courteney Cox! This is the year the video for "Dancing In The Dark," in which she famously appears, won a VMA.

## Paul Young, 1985

The 80s were all about dudes looking like victims of static electricity.

## Tina Turner, 1986

Miss Tina receives no notes.

On this date, Tina was shooting Battle of the Network Stars. I'm sure whatever she did, her hair and makeup did not survive it.

## Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf and Monica Seles in 1990

LOOK AT ALL OF THIS. Steffi is wearing a dress that reminds me so much of one Julia Roberts wears in *Pretty Woman*, which came out this year ([Julia's had a neck piece, though](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kYZu-pEODnQ/mqdefault.jpg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)). Monica Seles's hair looks STRESSED OUT and the less said about Martina's hair and makeup, the better.

## with Jennifer Capriati

Jennifer's dress is one of those that makes you realize how much decades bleed into each other, stylewise.

## Michael Bolton, 1991

One of the most iconic mullets in the business. He and Kenny G really should have duked it out.

## Tracy Austin, 1992

I truly don't remember people still doing their hair this way in 1992, but clearly they did.

## Britney, 1999

How could I not include Britney at the US Open, which is also happening now, in her iconic pigtails! And terrible tiny sunnies that never make anyone hotter.

## Gabrielle Union, 2001

I was going to stop at the year 2000, but then I saw this picture of Gabrielle Union, who basically looks the same except for her eyebrows.

## Serena, 2001

AND THEN, we have baby wee Serena Williams, Andre Agassi... and TREVOR FROM O-TOWN. All three at the tops of their game, surely!!!!!
