Farrah Fawcett

Guys wanted her. Girls wanted her hair. The Charlie's Angel's bombshell's fabulously feathered hair in the '70s had women scrambling for their blow dryers.

Audrey Hepburn

Is there a more iconic updo? When Hepburn, as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's, wore her long hair in a high chignon, she set off a hair craze that is still going strong today. Tiara optional.

Julia Roberts

Roberts' bountiful curls in 1990's Pretty Woman was the perfect bridge between the big-hair '80s and the layered-locks '90s.

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe wasn't her real name, and blonde wasn't Norma Jeane Mortenson's real hair color. But the bleached blonde was a natural when it came to fame and stardom. "In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo," she once quipped.

Diana Ross

The original diva's voluminous afro is so iconic that Kim Kardashian channeled her look in a photo shoot inspired by the singer with Hype Williams in 2012.

Audrey Tautou

When the movie Amelie (2001) comes up in conversation, Tautou's gamine bob in it inevitably rears its adorable head.

Bo Derek

Who knew the combination of a swimsuit and cornrows would be a perfect 10? The actress rocked the look so memorably in the 1979 film that it's nearly impossible to conjure an image of her without her braids.

Madonna

At the height of her "Like a Virgin" period in the mid-'80s, Madonna rocked messy, unkempt hair with dark roots. It was a distinctly downtown, dirty-cool 'do that still resonates today.

Brigitte Bardot

Pamela Anderson owes an enormous debt to the 1960s-era bombshell. Long before the Baywatch star styled her hair big and blonde, the French actress made sexy bedroom hair de rigueur.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Parker played Carrie in Sex and the City as a slightly bohemian, seriously chic urban dweller -- and her hairstyle (loose, touchable, perfectly tousled curls parted in the middle) reflected her character's sensibility.

Mia Farrow

When Farrow debuted her pixie cut in the 1968 film Rosemary's Baby, she launched a craze for the gamine hairstyle. She told the New York Times in January 2013 that she had literally cut it herself -- with a pair of fingernail scissors, no less!

Shannen Doherty

Doherty, as Beverly Hills, 90210's Brenda Walsh, rocked blunt bangs and straight long hair that was such a distinct and oft-copied look that when she chopped it off on a whim, she was promptly fired from the show. "It was one of the reasons I got fired. Rightfully so," she told CBS' The Talk in 2012.

Joan Jett

Often called the Queen of Rock & Roll, the lead singer of '70s group the Runaways (and later the Blackhearts) may go down in history as the only person to have rocked the mullet stylishly.

Princess Diana

She was a princess, but she sure didn't have princess-style hair. Instead, the Duchess of Cornwall, known for her common touch, wore her tresses for much of the '80s in a layered variation of the pageboy cut.

Gwyneth Paltrow

The It Girl of the '90s also had the It Hair -- shiny, pin-straight hair achieved with the help of a flat iron.

Tina Turner

In the '80s, the Private Dancer was as famous for her long legs as for her gravity-defying spiky hair.

Jennifer Aniston

"I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen," the Friends star told Allure in 2011 of the infamous Rachel cut, which she debuted in 1995.

Veronica Lake

Legend goes that a stray lock of the '40s screen siren's hair fell over her eye during a photo shoot -- and her peek-a-boo style was born. Today, A-listers like Reese Witherspoon, Megan Fox, and Kate Hudson have all rocked the "Veronica Lake" on the red carpet.

Barbara Eden

After the pretty blonde crisply nodded her head as a 2,000-year-old genie in the premiere episode of I Dream of Jeannie in 1965, the high and pert ponytail was forever associated with the actress.

Meg Ryan

Ryan's signature hairstyle in the '90s — a tousled, piece-y bob — gave America's Sweetheart a rock & roll edge. It also jumpstarted celebrity stylist Sally Hershberger's career.

Louise Brooks

The 1920s silent actress used her eyes to express emotion and her hair to exude style. The cropped style with short blunt bangs was oft-copied by other stars of her era.

Lauren Conrad

Who knew that it would be insecure L.C. from Laguna Beach who would one day become a style icon for millions of young women? The classic California girl with classic California hair (long, blonde, beachy) helped popularize braids, a trend that's still going strong today.

Halle Berry

The Oscar-winning actress cut her hair short when she was 18, she told the Huffington Post, and she never looked back. "Cutting my hair was freeing," she said.

Cher

Sure, other stars wore their hair straight and parted down the middle in the '60s and '70s, but only Cher had luxurious tresses that fell to her waist.

Blake Lively

Lively's hair on Gossip Girl should have gotten its own show. With its multiple personalities (up, down, wavy, straight), her hairstyles effectively mirrored her character's different moods. But it's her signature look — down, loose, wavy — that had fans asking for the Serena cut. The actress' secret? When hair is still damp, twist it into a ballerina bun. "When the hair is released, it has a nice natural deep wave," she told website Refinery 29.
