Add Women on Google:

Goldie Hawn came into prominence during the 1960s, winning audiences with her large, expressive eyes, youthful spirit, and beaming smile. While Hawn has had a stunning Hollywood transformation since then, there was no doubt that the "Cactus Flower" star was as much a real stunner in the '60s as she is now. 

The actress embodied the vibrant and courageous spirit of the '60s in more ways than one. After all, this was the era of cat-eye liner, light natural base makeup, and stocking up on false lashes while being overly generous with mascara. There was no doubt that Hawn executed and embodied these '60s beauty trends to a T, along with on-trend hairstyles ranging from voluminous curls to a pixie cut's daring, short lengths. With these aesthetics, Hawn showed how capturing the spirit of the '60s involved a dynamic approach. Let's take a closer look at how that approach manifested.

Hawn channeled Twiggy with her pixie cut

There's no doubt that Goldie Hawn was giving Twiggy vibes with this look, which was captured in the photo above around 1965. The Oscar winner rocked a blonde pixie cut while wearing a striped halter-neck top in yellow and blue. Her eyeliner and mascara complemented the haircut by expertly accentuating her eyes. The appearance definitely fits alongside other throwback pics of Goldie Hawn, proving how absolutely stunning she is.

Hawn went all out with her mascara

Goldie Hawn looked stunning in this portrait done for the 1969 cover of Vogue, with her bold eyeliner and silver shadow combination instantly drawing you to her gaze. Hawn clearly knew what was in fashion in the '60s; similar to the circa-1965 pixie cut image, she didn't hold back on volumizing mascara, with her lashes painstakingly separated to perfection. Her pale lipstick was also de rigueur for the time.

Hawn's headband was the perfect finishing touch

Taken when she was 19, this point in time was shortly before she made it big in the comedy sketch show "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In," which premiered in 1968. The '60s was a time for hair accessories, and the thin headband Hawn wore was possibly an ode to the headband-wearing hairstyles popularized by fellow '60s icon Brigitte Bardot. It would be an understatement to say that this is one of the most memorable pictures of Hollywood legend Goldie Hawn as a '60s beauty icon.

Hawn made low-key elegance part of her dynamic range of looks

Despite her early rise as a fixture in hit comedy films, Goldie Hawn is capable of taking it down a notch, as seen in this elegant yet mature portrait taken in 1965. Here, her hair is a beauty moment, soft-looking and styled in the way fit for the time. We can also see how she pared her makeup back with thinner, more understated liner. Hawn still whipped out the false lashes, which were a '60s beauty staple. 

This beauty look exemplified Hawn's independent spirit

With her iconic cropped pixie cut, which was one of the most defining hairstyles of the 1960s, the "Overboard" actor donned a bikini for this shoot. Hawn really went in on her eye look, as aside from the classic cat eye, she was heavy-handed with the mascara. But the real star of the show was the art that she allowed to be painted on her body. Done for a segment of the comedy sketch show "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" back in 1968, Hawn's daring approach here contributed to her status as a '60s beauty icon.

She could pull off looks from different eras

Unlike her usual out-of-the-box, colorful aesthetics, this 1969 picture of Hawn displays the star making a different kind of statement. The image shows a look inspired by the 1920s Jazz Age. Still, Hawn kept some of her appearance rooted in the 1960s, as seen in her natural, flawless base and extra-long lashes. She is also shown wearing her hair in large, barrel curls endemic to the '60s.

She looked stunning in ethereal, fairytale looks

Goldie Hawn looked like something out of a dream in this photoshoot that occurred around 1965. The nine-time Golden Globe nominee stood in the middle of a wooded area, looking undeniably stunning. Hawn's hair was tied back into an elegant updo defined by the popular '60s barrel curls, a choice that perfectly frames her face. She also pulled off eyeshadow colors that were popular in the '60s, accentuating her eyes with gray and blue.

Hawn seamlessly pulled off another trendy hairstyle

For this 1965 shoot, Hawn opted for a shoulder-length style with straight bangs and an in-vogue outward flip. The actress struck an elegant contrast with her hair by choosing thin, spider-like, and slightly clumpy lashes. When paired with her classic eyeliner, this appearance puts her on par with these stunning eyeliner looks from Old Hollywood's biggest stars. The multi-tiered combination is just one of those appearances that highlights her devastating, timeless beauty, as we can still appreciate it today.
