Who is Twiggy?

Twiggy is a British fashion model, singer, and actress who rose to prominence in the 1960s. She is considered one of the first supermodels, known for her cropped blond hair, gamine frame, and mod style, which helped define the youthful style of Swinging London. The Daily Express named her the “face of ’66,” launching her international modeling career. She later pursued acting, including an acclaimed role in The Boy Friend (1971).
