Can you guess?
Think about all the iconic beauty looks over the past 100 years. There's been Brigitte Bardot with her beehive and black liner, Marilyn Monroe with her red lipstick and peroxide blonde coiffure, Elizabeth Taylor with her bold brows and brunette hair and Audrey Hepburn with her micro fringe. And that's just the 1950s decade!
Look further than that and you have Madonna's beauty spot, Grace Jone's shaved head, Brooke Shields' bushy brows, Diana Ross's 70s style, Amy Winehouse's beehive and Lady Gaga's blonde bow hair. In fact, the list goes on so much, you could be here all day reading it.
So imagine what it would feel like to win the award for the most iconic beauty look of the century. Recently, this award was given. And it was presented to a very modern beauty indeed - Cara Delevingne.
