A Skinny Legend – Twiggy
As always, there was a particular celebrity who became the poster child of the female ideal body type in the ‘60s. It was none other than the British cultural icon Lesley “Twiggy” Lawson, who can be described as doll-faced, petite, and super slender. She managed to keep her girlish figure ever since she started modeling at the young age of 16 in 1965. Her gangly frame somehow symbolized a carefree and independent life.

1970s – The Disco Diva
The pendulum swings again! In the ‘70s, curves were appreciated once more by the general public. However, the situation was not quite the same as it was in the ‘50s. During this era, people had to fit in particular trends which were a bit more out there. We want to remind you that the ‘70s was the disco era! However, the party girl was still pressured to keep a slim-hipped and flat-stomached body to rock the fashions popular at the discotheque.
