6 Trendy Outfit Ideas Inspired by Jane Birkin, Farrah Fawcett, and Diana Ross

The '70s are back, baby. But it's not just bell-bottom jeans and fringe this time around—crochet, babydoll dresses, oversize round sunglasses, and frilly tops will also be hugely popular this spring and summer. Mark my word.
I looked to three of the era's icons for a little help with '70s-inspired outfit ideas that still look cool today. It was the decade Farrah Fawcett got her breakthrough role in Charlie's Angels, Diana Ross enjoyed huge success with The Supremes, and Jane Birkin became the poster girl for French-girl style. All three women's style has stood the test of time and is still impossibly cool to this day. Scroll down for six outfit ideas inspired by the '70s.

Kaia Gerber was recently photographed in a beautiful dress by this L.A. brand.
As you can see, Diana Ross nailed airport style in 1973.
Shown here in Cannes, Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg were a power couple in the '70s.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
