Stevie Nicks: The Eternal Bohemian Fashion Icon
Harry Styles once described legendary Fleetwood Mac frontwoman Stevie Nicks—who famously performed with the singer in 2020—as “a magical gypsy godmother,” and he was spot on. Free-spirited and fiercely bohemian, Nicks is a fashion icon of the hippie generation.
Joining Fleetwood Mac in 1974, Nicks enlisted the help of Margi Kent to curate her 1975 tour wardrobe: flowing dresses with flared sleeves, ponchos, and her signature beribboned tambourine. Her vision, as she shared with British Vogue, was a girl in a riding jacket cinched at the waist and a ragged handkerchief skirt. Despite working odd jobs just months before, Nicks had a clear image in mind: “I want beautiful handmade suede platform boots that are high, but not bulky. And I want a top hat, which I will find out on the road myself.”
Throughout the years, several designers have paid tribute to Nicks’s unique style, including Clare Waight Keller, Michael Kors, and Hedi Slimane. In 1997, Anna Sui dedicated an entire fall show to Nicks, showcasing her influence on the fashion world. More recently, Prime Video’s Daisy Jones & The Six brought Nicks’s essence to the small screen, inspired by the iconic Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac.
At 77, Stevie Nicks’s beauty remains timeless—her signature tousled locks untouched, her wardrobe still exuding bohemian charm. As we celebrate her birthday today, Vogue reflects on her iconic style throughout the years.
