AUDREY HEPBURN, 1953
The 1950s gave rise to hairstyles named the bouffant, the flip, the poodle, and, yes, even the artichoke. But it was the pixie cut, which Hepburn revealed in Roman Holiday, that has had the most enduring impact. The crop was part of the film’s storyline, about a princess who goes incognito—thanks to a hairdresser chopping off her long strands—to get a break from her royal duties.
