Twiggy recreates one of her classic photos for Vogue

A. She looked like a doll in her youth. This gorgeous innocent doll. So pretty.

B. She looks phenomenal for a woman in her 70s and looks like she’s aged mostly naturally. Nothing is pulled too tight and high etc.

C. She seems lovely.

Guess which bag is a fake?

Old bag with an old bag.

She does seem quite lovely.

This is actually quite cute.

Twiggy, meet Saggy.

She should hang it up. Go play mahjong or solve crimes like Miss Marple.

She's beautiful.

R6 she did hang it up years ago. She’s just giving an interview. Calm down.

Is this some kind of "spot the 5 differences" game?

r9 Nah, just something harmless that doesn't impact you negatively in any way.

This is harmless and much more elegant than when they repainted the ‘Goldfinger’ actress (Shirley Eaton) fifty years afterward.

TWIGGY ALIVE???!!!

She’s only 74. Not like she’s 100.

She's a real talent, not just a model.

I liked her a lot during her time on ANTM. She was a proper replacement for Janice after she left and brought a different energy to the panel. She didn’t stay too long though.

She looks great.

I like her and she looks great. However...

...the recreated picture is horrible. It lacks any focus or intensity. She looks like an America's Next Top Model wannabe, rather than one of the top models of her time. It's amateurish. She's sitting, not posing.

Pipe down, r17, and don't be so fussy.

Better than 97-year-old Suzanne Somers posing nude while leaning forward dipping her big saggy jugs in the mud in a roadside, reeds-strewn ditch.

The nose and the ears really do keep growing, don’t they?

Does she still have her penis after all of these years? I mean that’s how she got the name twiggy, she was born a small penis/huge clit.

They recently did the Swinging Sixties on The Rest is History podcast, and they noted the unhealthy focus on underaged girls and women who looked like they might be underaged, of which Twiggy was a prime example. The fashion complemented this focus.

OP is right about one thing, hip British young women were called "dolly birds". No wonder feminism really got going in the 1970s.

I remember being very young and going with my mom to our local department store, which had all these big pictures of Twiggy hanging on the walls. I would just sit and stare at those pictures while my mom shopped. I was obsessed with Twiggy. I thought she was so beautiful.

R25 because teenagers being models and shoved down our throats only happened then.

I think maybe it did, R27. In the 1950s the high fashion models were mostly in their twenties and I'm pretty sure that was the case for the decades before that. Jean Shrimpton, the biggest model of the era before Twiggy came along, was 21 when she hit the big-time in 1963. The housewife and the sophisticate were the two emblems of the 1950s, so someone like Twiggy would have been repellent then.

It wasn't that they were teenagers, R27, it was that they were being dressed and made up to look younger even than they were--and also to look like actual dolls. This was the moment when looking seriously underweight was valued for the first time, because, again, it made you look like a gawky kid. They were dressed in pinafores, shirts with school ties and pleated ultra-miniskirts reminiscent of school uniforms but much shorter. Plus you had all those songs like "Young Girl" which are totes creepy.

In the present, teenagers are used by designers and magazines so that 20-something women will all think they should be thinner and use fillers. Their clothes and makeup are trying to approximate 20-somethings, not 13-year-olds.

Sorry, meant to sign that R25.

21 years old isn’t that far removed from a teenager

I never understood her mass appeal. Seems like a penguin phenomenon where TPTB decide to make something widespread and everyone falls in line.

She has a delightful podcast “Tea with Twiggy.” Pleasant chat with lovely guests. Perfect listening for your morning or evening commute.
