Diana Ross is an undeniable style icon. She stepped out in the 60s as a member of The Supremes and, in her glittering gowns and heels, stole the spotlight. From then on the bright-eyed, sweet smiling Ross had everyone hooked.

For decades the diva’s glamorous style and billowy mane influenced fashion, and her role as a designer and model in the 1970s film Mahogany further solidified this with numerous runway collections inspired by her legendary looks. On her birthday, we highlight Ms. Ross’ fierce unforgettable fashions.
