Throwback Pics Of Young Goldie Hawn Are Absolutely Stunning

As an actor, dancer, model, and producer, it's safe to say that Goldie Hawn is a woman of many talents. Hawn's big break came in the late 1960s, after she garnered significant attention for her role on NBC's comedy series "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In." In 1969, she appeared in "Cactus Flower," which earned her a Golden Globe and an Academy Award. Hawn went on to be cast in other hit movies, including "There's a Girl in My Soup," and Steven Spielberg's thriller "The Sugarland Express." By the '80s, she had found her feet in the industry and even began producing box office hits like "Private Benjamin." Throughout her successful career, she has built a reputation for looking effortlessly chic despite being playfully self-aware.

In recent years, Hawn has been stepping onto red carpets in her early 80s, wearing dazzling slip dresses that exude Hollywood glamour. Her heavy fringe continues to draw attention to her bright, blue eyes. While Hawn's wide eyes have always been a prominent feature, she has reinvented her style more than once — and each time, she's looked stunning. Before stardom, Hawn appeared angelic, wearing her blonde hair in a short bob. Later on, she experimented with fake eyelashes and a classic 1960s pixie cut. Throughout the '70s, Hawn was all about volume, and by the '90s, she was taking red carpets by storm in slip dresses. In the early-aughts, Hawn was still looking stunning on red carpets while in her late 50s, and on one occasion, she even bared all in a plunging gown.

It's no secret that Hawn has had quite the stunning Hollywood transformation. Before emerging into the film industry, she opted for the natural look, wearing little makeup and styling her hair with a '60s-esque side fringe. In her 1964 portrait, she showcased a short and sweet bob. Hawn's gingham dress may have added to her innocent look, but her dominant pose and pointed slingback heels made her look like a powerful young woman who was ready to make her mark on the industry. She was a natural beauty, but her confidence was also stunning.

Hawn looked very different in her 1968 portrait. Despite only aging four years, her short hair and thick eyelashes made her look older. In her early 20s, Hawn had clearly started to experiment with a bolder appearance, and she used eyelash extensions and a statement haircut to do just that. Pixie cuts were all the rage in the late '60s, a style popularized by Twiggy, a prominent supermodel at the time. Twiggy's signature makeup look, centered on the eyes, was also a major trend. Having been blessed with wide eyes, Hawn looked stunning when she embraced the bold eyelashes movement.

The year after the film "Cactus Flower" was released, 1970, was arguably the peak of Hawn's acting career. Hawn took home a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for her part in the film, and the role essentially propelled her to fame as one of Hollywood's top movie stars in the 1970s. The actor looked stunning as she appeared in campaign-visuals for the film wearing a slinky beige slip dress and a string of pearls. Her pearl necklace, paired with a cigarette extender, made for an alluring look. Her blonde bouffant hairpiece only added to the essence of Hollywood glamour.

Hawn's hair had been dyed even more blonde when she starred in "The Sugarland Express" in 1974, a thriller directed by film legend Steven Spielberg. Hawn's bleached hair hinted that she had firmly established herself as a Hollywood star, considering platinum blonde was a staple style among some of Hollywood's most legendary icons, including Marilyn Monroe. Her appearance in the film, playing a character who wears significantly less eye makeup, also proved she was a natural beauty. The lack of mascara made a change for Hawn and allowed her ocean eyes to shine through naturally.

At the 1980 Academy Awards, Hawn turned up to the event wearing a shiny black blazer. The formal jacket was embellished with sequins and featured a white lace trim. In typical '80s fashion, she styled her honey-blonde hair in a voluminous blowout that fell to her shoulders in loose ringlets. In addition to her signature bold mascara, Hawn glowed in lip gloss and silver eyeshadow. While she went home empty-handed that year, she won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in "Private Benjamin" the following year, in 1981.

At the 1996 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Hawn ditched formalwear and replaced her beloved blazer with a sage slip dress instead. However, the satin slip dress failed to stay in place and the incident has been remembered as one of Hawn's biggest fashion fails. "My biggest fashion fail was when I arrived at the Vanity Fair party, got out of the car, waved to the fans and the top of my dress fell down," Hawn told E! News. However, despite looking a little flustered, she looked stunning and the wardrobe malfunction only proved her ability to remain effortlessly chic.

Hawn may have worn some outfits deemed inappropriate, and this absolutely could have been one of them. Sunglasses on a red carpet may be controversial, but Hawn has proven herself to be quite the fan of the accessory. On several occasions, the actor has stepped onto the red carpet wearing eyewear, and the 1999 Academy Awards was no different. Despite attending the event in the evening, Hawn paired the seasonal accessory with an elegant gown that featured a thigh-high leg slit. The slinky number was adorned with crystals, and her look was topped off with a matching shawl.

A peak inside Hawn's luxury lifestyle shows that she still lives like a Hollywood superstar, despite making her big break way back in the '60s — and she dresses like one, too. In 2003, Hawn wore a head-turning gown to the BAFTA Awards. The unique dress boasted a sheer, flowy fabric that framed the neckline and waist. The main focus of the dress was undeniably its swooping deep V-neckline that plunged to her stomach and featured lace-up detailing. By opting for a messier hairstyle, Hawn drew attention to the daring number. Her crystal choker only added an element of glamour.
