I never knew Ali McGraw began working in 1960 as a photographic assistant at Harper’s Bazaar, and as an assistant to the legendary fashion editor, Diana Vreeland, at Vogue. Miss McGraw soon began to model. The shiny centre parted beauty became a household name when she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress in the tear jerker Love Story. Ali has that beautiful air and grace of American yacht club royalty. I love the pale high waisted jeans, plaited belt and staple t-shirt look. Her seventies lightly backcombed half hairdo is how my mother wore her hair on her wedding day. I love this style but have bangs so its impossible.
