Lady Diana ! After making a start in the music business when America still viewed that world in terms of very delimited colours, Diana Ross, the Supreme’s lead singer was able to become a star well beyond the racial barriers which limited that business at the time.
Motown’s magician (and later Diana’s husband) choose her as her voice was quite high and soft and didn’t have, according to him, the powerful tone which could have scared the white community, The Supremes became a sensation and after some time Diana decided to go solo.
After the tightly fitted satin shift dresses and flowers in the hair of the Sixties, she will adopt the fashionable Seventies afro style and will mix it with her own classy glamour. A glamour which will define her identity and which she still uses to this day. Each of her stage appearances will be in extraordinary gowns, a mix of pop and royal style and always finishing the look with her signature big big hair. On the makeup front it is all about the eyes ! And now at almost seventy Diana Ross still know how to emphatize her bigger than life eyes, simply perfect for a star who IS bigger than life ! AM x
