Barbra Streisand's 70s Hair: A Timeless Trendsetter

Barbra Streisand, the acclaimed 84-year-old EGOT winner, recently delighted fans by sharing a throwback photograph from the 1970s on social media.

In the vintage image, Streisand is seen sporting a classic black turtleneck, her signature long, loose waves framing her face. This decade was pivotal for her career, marking a successful transition from Broadway stardom to becoming a pop and film icon.

She captioned the post, "A shot from the 1970s," adding, "This is how women are wearing their hair now; I also see many women wearing wigs that look like this today." Fans enthusiastically responded, with one commenting, "Just proves how you have always set trends. This look and the makeup and tan are certainly an iconic Barbra."

Another fan echoed the sentiment, stating, "As always, Babs did it first." This nostalgic post arrives just days after Jennifer Lawrence launched her haircare brand, placing Streisand's enduring style in the contemporary celebrity beauty landscape.

Streisand's career began with her Broadway debut in 1962. By the 1970s, she had evolved into a celebrated actress, a musical artist, and a recognized fashion icon with a distinct bohemian flair.

Today, the Hollywood legend is semi-retired and resides in Malibu. She carefully selects her projects, including an appearance in the season finale of 'Hacks.' Her first children's book, "And by the way...", is slated for release on March 30, 2027.

In her personal life, Streisand has been married to actor James Brolin since 1990, celebrating their 28th anniversary in July 2026. She has often spoken fondly of their meeting and enduring relationship.
