I Got You Babe, Cher (1965)

This is a fun photo of the iconic couple who found fame in 1965 singing “I Got You Babe” to each other. Even then, it shows Cher’s hair was going places. The Goddess of Pop is known for her distinctive singing voice and her trademark long hair which she has styled in so many ways, from massive ponytails to really big curls to voluminous mullets to extravagant feathered headpieces. The extremely talented American singer, actress, and TV host knows how to rock (or shock) the red carpet with show-stopping outfits. She remains a fashion trendsetter even in her 70s, turning heads with her hair and elaborate ensembles.

Cher, born Cherilyn Sarkisian, embodies female autonomy in a male-dominated industry, and though she gained popularity as half of the husband-wife duo Sonny & Cher, she also established an immensely successful solo career. She has won several awards, including an Academy Award, a Cannes Film Festival Award, an Emmy Award, a Grammy Award, and three Golden Globe Awards. She’s one of the best-selling music artists in history, with 100 million records sold worldwide to date, and she’s the only musician so far to have a number one single on the Billboard chart in six consecutive decades.
