From: John Q – Hello Mr. Pop. I love the daily updates now! My wife and I were discussing popular women’s hair styles of all time and the people who influenced them. Naturally, the “Jackie” look came up. Can you give me more details?

Mr. Pop History – One of the best-known hair styles in pop history was “the bubble” or the Jackie look. The bouffant hairdo was created for Jackie Kennedy by Michel Kazan, who also created hairpieces known as falls.

He said he created the Jackie look during a society affair at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the guests included Mrs. Kennedy (and Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich and others). He sent three pictures of Mrs. Kennedy wearing the bouffant to Vogue magazine – and that was that. She wore the style for 20 years – and it was still seen on ladies into the 1970’s. Hope that helps. Jackie Kennedy
