Jerry Hall’s Style Has Always Been Pure Bombshell
A look back at nearly 50 years of standout looks from the the Texas-born model, Warhol muse, and longtime runway favorite.
Jerry Hall has lived so many lives. After getting scouted while vacationing in Saint Tropez with her twin sister, Hall quickly became one of the hottest models of the ’70s, with dozens of magazine covers and a permanent spot on all the hottest runways. The Texas native was a muse of Karl Lagerfeld, Thierry Mugler, and Andy Warhol, among others, and with her long, golden hair, a benchmark of beauty in the second half of the 20th century. Hall’s many high-profile relationships (most notably with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger) only helped to solidify her celebrity status, while her forays into acting proved her well-rounded nature.
On July 2, Hall turns 70, and marks over half a century in the public eye. Throughout that time, she has shown off many enviable ensembles, both on and off the runway. Whether lounging in Barbados with Jagger or partying at Studio 54, Hall consistently turned a look, so to honor the milestone, we’re taking a trip down memory lane at 50 years of the always stylish Jerry Hall.
After being discovered, Hall moved to Paris, where she shared an apartment with Grace Jones and Jessica Lange. There, her modeling career took off, and she became a regular face in the city’s nightlife scene. Here she is in 1976, wearing a lace catsuit while out in the City of Lights.
