Favorite appearance era
 

Blame Jillian (TerraRhiannon) for this one. She said Nicksy should have on too, and her wish is granted. Single selection, pick your favorite era Stevie, yadda yadda yadda. And BTW, since I had to keep it down to 10, Bella Donna and Mirage have been merged (they both have the same fuzzy hair look then).

Every look from 1975-1982, but I voted for White Album/ Rumours.

I voted for White Album/Rumours. She looked so adorable (hey, she did. She looked like she was 12 and that shaggy haircut made her look even cuter) and the fact that I like her Rumours dress so much (the fact that it was so simple and showed what she's all about at the same time) only helps my case.

I had to go Bella Donna.

For me, its really the '81 HBO concert that sealed the deal :)

Street Angel :thumbsup:



An honorable mention to Wild Heart because she was gorgeous there too.

I have to agree with everything Viv said.

White Album-Wild Heart = Sex on legs.
Rock A Little Era = Hot mess.
Tango = Sleepy mess.
TOSOTM = Shoulderpads and sheep hair.
Street Angel = Yes, Stevie Nicks has breasts.
The Dance-Present = Growing old gracefully. Shiny hair. Silky smooth.

Oh i cant decide ive gone back & forth 10 times, between Rumours & Wild Heart.. ok here goes Wild Heart it is!!!!!! :thumbsup:

She must spend a fortune - both in money and in time - on her hair, it's so pretty when it's all straightened out.

Although, she still looks fab with curly hair - she looks so young on the SYW album cover.

I actually like her looks from Rock A Little through early Tango and OSOTM (at times) because I loved her sculptured hair with all the teased layers and when it looked fabulous, it really looked fabulous. And all those cool stage outfits of this time. And RAL era with all the layers she threw on. Her look was so witchy with all that.

I voted for The Wild Heart era because she was absolutely stunning (both hair and clothes...ESPECIALLY the clothes! There were so many on this tour). Also, I haven't seen her have as much fun on stage since the Wild Heart tour.

Rumours for sure. She was more polished in appearance than the white album. Her looks were just purely classic from '76-'78. I think Stevie's later looks were less refined... she started doing silly stuff with her hair (the Tusk megabun, for instance), and started piling on more and more very dated looking clothes. I guess all the money and fame made her lose her sense... because to me, after '78 or so, she looked like a hot mess most of the time.

It's a toss up between Rumours and The Wild Heart. She was stunning during both...

She was really stunning during white album/Rumours, & I think people like the shaggy look she had going on with her hair then.

I think she looks gorgeous all the time, but I voted for Bella Donna. As far as I'm concerned, the White Winged Dove concert video is the sexiest she's ever looked.

Ditto. No comparison for me.

The Wild Heart for me! I love it! She looked AMAZING when she appeared on Solid Gold!

TUSK for sure!

eeek I can't believe you like the Tusk bun. That frizzy brown mess looked like she stuck her head into an oven for 45 minutes before each show. Someone needed to wrap her head into a hot towel of conditioning treatment back then. :sorry:

We're harsh sometimes because we love her really. She wouldn't be who she is today without the many different looks and phases and none of us including her I imagine, would go changing a thing now.

I wasn't really a fan of the tusk bun actually, but it had it's moments.



I love her pre-tusk looks, but her hair was thin and she looked really young. Childlike even in some pics. However, she looked much more womanly with Tusk. What I did love about Tusk is how healthy she looked. And when her hair wasn't in that birds nest, it looked so much fuller and healthier. She still looked amazing until RAL, but her hair started getting really frayed looking around Bella Donna. And she looked amazing in TWH too, but Tusk still wins! See below:

I have never saw her hair as being "thin". If anything she's always had very full and thick hair. As for the post Bella Donna frayed-ness, that's most likely from all the perms and color overprocessing taking it's toll. Which is why she's more cautious today with her tresses. Stevie was always known for her wild rock hair, I don't think she ever set out to do a nice Pantene commercial, and still doesn't.

I voted for Tusk too. Love her look. The entire band was at peek hotness during Tusk. (except John - John's best look is in those Tango promo shots)

I totally don't get all the hate for the Tusk bun, I think it's stunning; and that picture proves it, she looks amazing there. The hair goes really well with that gorgeous red dress.

When I think Tusk, I think late Tusk, not early Tusk. Different look, different hair, different vibe. My favorite. (Think of those photos of Stevie backstage at the Bowl with Bonnie Raitt.)

There is that one early Tusk era shot--I think it ran in Circus--of the whole band against a striped yellow backdrop, with Stevie in profile dressed in blue velvet. Love that one. Also love the photo on the cover of the "Sara" sheet music.

Remember that all the shots that look like Tusk in the tourbook are actually Rumours.

Maybe thin isn't the word, but I guess pre-tusk it looked very flat? Idk, her hair just seems so much fuller and natural in tusk compared to prior to tusk and after.

Rumours.
The quintessential Stevie Nicks for me.

I voted RAL for that wild hot mess! But I love that late Wild Heart to early 1984 hair eg. how she wore it on SNL and Solid Gold, It worked so well with the hair flicks during the dancey bit in Stand Back :D

She had a generous head of hair naturally but perms just added to the volume and poofiness of it. Perms are going to do that to anyone.

Exactly. And her Tusk perms were the best IMO.

I think some of her best perms and hair came during the Seven Wonders and Rooms on Fire period.

Rumours, for me!

Some of those live outdoor shots where she's got the top hat and/or climbing on the piano or leaning on the bongos..... I mean, I literally have to tear myself away from just staring at her. She really is like a rock n roll goddess, in that era. :nod:

Definitely Rumours.

Again, Street Angel got votes:shocked: More votes then The Dance :shocked:

Well I picked BD/Mirage but for me its really late Rumours like '77 (Japan Rumours) through Tusk/BD/Mirage /WH and very early RAL like 84 (or Mirror/Mirror). Those are my favorite eras. I don't mind the others so much either. Though RAL/Tango/Mirror outfits --some. SYW stuff ugh. :shrug:
