Amy Winehouse – The Shape

This record is modelled into the unmistakable face of Amy Winehouse sporting her messy beehive hair. Amy Winehouse’s iconic hairstyle was a messy beehive, a conical shape of hair piled high on top of the head. It was often styled with a bouffant effect and frequently involved hairpieces to achieve the desired height and volume. The beehive was a signature look for Winehouse and became a symbol of her unique style.
