she was naturally lovely back then she was not a narcissist and she is still gorgeous today.

She's a month older than me ! 1949 was a GREAT year ( and I have my wife's permission to say so as she was born in the April). Not only beautiful she also sang " Here I go again" which I love. Stay young Twiggy.

A life well lived and still being lived. Well done girl!

She was beautiful and still is. God bless her.

She’s 73 years old and still beautiful.

She absolutely was the first super model! Everyone had heard of “Twiggy”, even if they didn’t give a fig about fashion. Like the narrator said ,”a household name”.

Re that black and white portrait photo at 1:47: those pronounced lower eyelashes, which became her signature makeup look, were not actual lashes, they were created by painting lines onto the skin with a black eyeliner brush. This was a new development in makeup, and every young woman at the time had a go at copying it. The painted-on lashes were not just reserved for special events; quite a few young women would do their eyes this way every day to go to work. I can confirm from my own experience that doing this yourself required a VERY steady hand, and was not at all easy to get right! The point of the look was to create a doll-like expression -- which accentuated Twiggy's gamine, naturally childlike facial features even more. Twiggy was the perfect model for the era. Her non-curvy "early teens" figure perfectly suited the angular, straight-line geometric fashions that were all the rage. Those awkward poses which we see her adopt in those photos broke with the norms of advertising which required models to look elegant. Her unconventional poses expressed innocence and naturalness -- as opposed to the self-conscious artifice of the curvy models of the 50s. For me the message that Twiggy conveyed through her looks was that young girls could become women without losing the freedom, ease and naturalness of childhood. We didn't need to lose our playfulness, our sense of freedom and wonder, just because we had grown up. It was a message of hopefulness and new horizons, especially for women who didn't fit the conventional female stereotype. We who were young then remember those days with real affection. We love Twiggy.

She was born super cool, and never seemed to lose touch with real people, in spite of her decades of fame, and status as an icon. Loved her as a judge on top model.

I remember her very well when she became popular back in the sixties. In Germany she appeared in every youth magazine and in many fashion magazines. She had big influence on us girls wishing to wear modern fashion. German lifestyle at that time was very conservative.

The first supermodel was Jean Shrimpton.

She was my idol in high school! I was tall and thin and ha cute my hair very short as well. Thank you for helping me feel like a total outcast and almost fashionable!

I just had to have those painted-on lower lashes! They were frowned upon in Senior year in a Catholic school, but I didn't care at all. I didn't want to look like other girls. I loved Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Pattie Boyd--those beautiful British girls. Thank you, Twiggy. You're a beautiful, caring woman.

She's still lovely and happily has not resorted to cosmetic surgery rather has shown that a healthy lifestyle may be the best way to aging beautifully. Thanks for this update, as I lived in London in the early 70s and used to see her around 😍☘

I remember Twiggy! Many of us Americans loved her. I am the same age as her. She was a great model and a humble, unassuming woman. Loved her then and do now! Glad she's done so well. God bless her.

Everyone including myself was crazy about twiggy. I think she looks amazing for her age still. Good for you twiggy 💋💋

I loved Twiggy! She was so unique.

Twiggy wil forever be an icon🥰

She was someone different than Mr Hefner’s obsession

as I was in her class at school, I can correct this point, the school was Brondesbury and Kilburn Girls Grammar School, in Willesden. She was clever. we studied german, music and art together. A great role model is great

And still looks fab and classy!

I am the same age & as a teen expertly learned to draw TWIGGYS between my lower lashes..No spandex in clothing back then..Very hard to get the look if you were anything more then skinny

And she is still pretty ❤

That was nice. I'm glad she succeeded in various enterprises. She was a part of a really special era.

Still a lovely woman today. It’s obvious that she’s taken care of herself.

Twiggy was the faceof the sixties andstill looks good in her seventies❤🎉😊

I had the Twiggy doll when it came out. I'm 66 now and still love her style then and now. I wish I still had that doll.

TWIGGY. My favourite. I got her false lashes at a downtown dept store in Harrisburg, PENNSYLVANIA where I grew up. I had her TWIGGY MAGAZINE. I MODELLED FOR THE DEPT STORE WHERE I WAS WORKING AS A TELEPHONE OPERATOR. I MOVED TO NYC. WITHIN MONTHS I WAS IN US MAGAZINE, THEN AMERICAN GIRL MAGAZINE...I WAS ONE OF TOMMY HILFIGER'S FIRST MODELS..TWIGGY IS MY HEROINE👏👏👏💜 I THINK SHE WAS ON MY LATE PARTNER'S TALK SHOW, THE JOE FRANKLIN SHOW. TWIGGY WAS ON BROADWAY THEN....🌻

I admire her Philanthropic Contributions more than anything. She's aged gracefully.

The painted on long eyelashes. She was very unique for the time. I enjoyed seeing and reading about her.

gorgeous then and gorgeous now damn her

Twiggy is beautiful at 73 I remember when the world raged over Twiggy I'm 75.

OMG! I'm 63yo & would wish I look like her @73!!! Grew up in 60s...loved her!!

Wow! I didn’t know Twiggy and I were born on the same day! Always loved her💖💫

I love you Twiggy. If not for you. We wouldn't have had so many pretty girls in the world. Take care.

And she's still stunning!

TWIGGY 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

I was hoping Twiggy spoke in this. I loved Twiggy, I had some of her clothes, the Twiggy doll and I loved her look and makeup.

Loved her look, her make-up etc. She still is very pretty, you can tell she took good care of herself.😊

Looking good twiggyy

Outstanding the test of time❤

Always beautiful, she was the # 1 in the 60's, we all wanted to look like her!

Twiggy.....one of My favorites british top models......I always like her eyes. Much more than Betty Davis eyes.....

She is a beautiful kind human being… 🌟💜🍒

Awesome!! Remember seeing 70's photos as a kid

Wow! People get older? Who knew?

Hi, Dame Twiggy! You look great! Groovy!!! (I was born in 1949 also)

I had a Twiggy Dol and this lady still continues to do good work in a positive way today.

It's that photo of her Iconic haircut to which I can not find the style on the left hand side. During lock down, I went on a mission to have a similar haircut.

Twiggy is a true icon and a huge inspiration for visual artists like myself

Wow and she's more gorgeous than ever ❤

Looking good, lady! Her outlook on life certainly shows!

Twiggy was the envy of every girl around the world! The p3rfect look for the times. I remember so well. She still looks fabulous too! 🥰👏👏

I can only hope I look that gorgeous when I'm 73! 😍

Shes amazing! Ladies take inspiration. A one of a kind incredible captivating lady, a true soul.

I was mesmerised when I saw her beautiful face with super long eyelashes that were very heavy. She was unique and no one like her. She is such a beautiful woman

she was actually better looking in her 30s, 40s, 50s etc!

My favourite thing about her was the cover of Bowies PinUps album.

She still looks great !

She looks fantastic! ♥️

She has aged amazingly well!!!

dont forget the film Club Paradise. with Robin Williams. Jimmie Cliff and Peter o toole.

There's no better girl than Twiggy.

History reflects but not necessarily tells the whole story. I remember looking at my older sister’s fashion magazines. I was in high school and I emulated Twiggy’s look, but my body type was wrong I was short and built like Marilyn Monroe.

the beautiful Jean Shrimpton was a supermodel before Twiggy and even introduced the miniskirt.

She wasn't a dumb blonde. I always wondered about that. She knew what she wanted and achieved it. Alright Twiggy.

Looking great😊🙃🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️

She looks great! A successful life!

I don't think her figure is unrealistic. I too am thin as twiggy was then, and I'm 68 yrs old. I have never been able to gain weight, and throughout my life I was often teased & still am because of it. It just goes to show you, that everyone is different and not everyone is suffering from obesity. Although obese people are more accepted than people who look like Twiggy. Most people also don't realize that the slurs that people use to devalue obese people, are no less painful, nor no less justified than the ones that are used to belittle, and devalue people of slighter build and frame. Like Twiggy have learned to embrace who I am. Ms. B. Churchill

8:42 Love twiggy style fashion when will she come back on HSN AN QVC❤❤❤❤❤❤

She had a very successful life!

Twig the Wonderkid - David Bowie - Pin Ups

Twiggy is still beautiful bless her. A National Treasure!

More beautiful now.

All that training wasn't wasted on her! "Hey, Ma, look at me now!" Definition of GORGEOUS! It sure wasn't wasted! (I wish I had held up that well, L O L )

I remember sitting in a Cape Town Cinema aged seventeen circa 1972 all on my own watching Twiggy in the film The Boyfriend in which she was very good, although she seemed much older than me she was only about 21 herself

Very much an Icon

Wow 73 and awesome I remember how slender she was and her Mimi dresses

Everything...she..was..the..60s

She is still a very pretty woman.

She made me want to be a model & design clothing also... I was able to do both things with success

Good for Twiggy! A lovely, successful lady. Bravo!

Her drawn on lower lashes

Original super model and look how the clothes are wearable today..

Dyslexia hadn't been invented when Twiggy was in school.

Still a hottie. She even inspired me to marry a hot blonde Londoner with bangs!

Twiggy looked like a child.

Actually I think Jean Shrimpton was the first supermodel, but Twiggy was also a supermodel!

She was thin as a rail therefore Twiggy

Favorite memory of Twiggy:? Film The Boy Friend with Tommy Tune

Still attractive

Those eyes .

Please cover another eroupean model Ira von Frustenbergh.

Very good actress too

I never liked Twiggy the model, seeing her as far to skinny. I came to like Twiggy in the mid 1970’s and her singing. The girl from Neasden has done very well in life, and looks much more attractive today than she ever did. ❤

Oh my God... I didn't think she would ever get fat... but then, so did I.

I named my skinny cat after her! 😽💕

twiggy now your73 im 80 any chance love like white wine and vodka big fan of diana rigg wooffffffffffffffff

This made teens like I was feel like I was fat when I was NOT. Bad image for teen girls. She used many fake lashes for a look that really was not attainable. Later on, she was Leslie, just like everyone else. It is awful how the ca-baal messed with our minds and bodies.

❤❤❤

I don't know about "curvy figures" up until the 60's. Twiggy may have been slightly thinner with her childish figure, but if you watch any old movies from the 40' and 50's, most leading women were quite thin bar Marilyn Monroe. Thin figures were common in the 20's and 30's. I don't believe a truly Curvy figure has been celebrated since the Rubenesk era. Oh, well, this is just my opinion.
