8 Iconic Sharon Tate Looks That Define ’60s Mod Fashion
Sharon Tate became a Hollywood starlet in the 1960s. Tate’s iconic ’60s look and her Golden Globe-nominated performance in Valley of the Dolls made her one of the defining icons of the era, alongside Priscilla Presley and Audrey Hepburn.
Tate’s style and film legacy lives on despite her tragic death in 1969 during the Manson Family murders. In 2019, a whole new generation was captivated by her mod style, thanks to Margot Robbie’s portrayal of her in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Tate was always making a statement whether she was at an airport or attending a movie premier. She often opted for retro patterns and timeless shapes.
