1955—The Ponytail
Lucille Ball was one of the biggest and most influential Hollywood stars throughout the 50s, and so here she is again sporting the hairdo of the moment for 1955—the ponytail!
By 1955, I Love Lucy had become one of the most popular shows on TV, and Ball was well and truly the beloved sweetheart of American television.
And it was Ball’s style on this show—a chic and short ponytail tied with a bow—that popularized this hairdo across the nation.
1956—Shoulder Bob
Just look at that style and elegance! This chic chica is of course none other than Grace Kelly, the Hollywood superstar who later became a princess when she married a prince of Monaco.
Dreamy!Well, as well as living the true American Dream, Kelly was also a style and fashion dream for many Americans, particularly in 1956 when she sported the shoulder bob.Sometimes she wore this in a sleek, straight style, and sometimes in soft curls—but either way she set the standards for classy ‘dos everywhere.
