But beyond music, Ziggy Stardust’s aesthetics have also had a massive influence on pop culture. At the 2016 Grammys, for example, Lady Gaga paid tribute to the singer in Jean Paul Gaultier’s 2013 spring-summer collection; then there was Kate Moss wearing the same jumpsuit that Bowie once wore when she presented him the best male solo artist award at the 2014 Brit Awards.
Undoubtedly the most recognizable piece of Ziggy Stardust’s look was his hair—a red mullet, which Bowie repeated for another alter ego, Aladdin Sane. The style is so iconic that we can’t help but see it everywhere, even on Pamela Anderson.
We don’t know if Anderson was inspired by Bowie consciously, but the spirit of the king of glam rock is there. The final touch is the wet finish, which gives it that special ’70s-Bowie look. The red mullet is a surprisingly elegant hairstyle—it’s also incredibly flattering and adds an undisputed rock-and-roll flair. Rock on, Pam.
