The Hair She Dared to Wear: The Coiffures of Patti Labelle

Headdresses 

In the late ’60′s Patti and the BlueBelles looked like your average girl group. With the help of Patti they had a totally different sound; but on the outside they looked liked everybody else,  black girls in white girl wigs. But in 1973 British manager, Vicki Wickham suggested the ladies take on a more eye-catching look like rock stars Elton John and David Bowie. They lost the standard wigs and donned unique costumes and Vegas-show-girl esque headpieces. It turned out to be a good movie. The group started getting more attention. The clothes were what reeled them in but the voices are what kept their attention.

    I absolutely LOVE me some Patti Labelle. She can do no wrong in my eyes, and I would love to meet and talk with her one day.

    Is it me her nose was half the size by the last pic in comparison to the first? Nose job?

      Yep, she did get a nose job. It’s very noticable. It does look better though, lol!

       I was thinking the same thing, at least it looks real. She didn’t go too small

       Hehehehe yes I was more intrigued by the evolution of her nose than her hair!
