Legendary supermodel Twiggy may not sport that famous pixie cut anymore, but she still looks great! Known as Dame Lesley Lawson in real life, the fashion icon celebrated her 76th birthday on Friday alongside friends and family. While it's been many years since her days as a London fashion plate, Twiggy is clearly thriving despite the "swinging sixties" being long gone.
"It’s my birthday!! ? ???? Having lunch with my two favourite ladies, my darling daughter @carlydrawing and my bff @1marylovett," the modeling legend captioned a set of photos posted to her Instagram on Friday.

Back in 2020, Twiggy made an appearance on Jessie Ware’s Table Manners and opened up about how she came to have the iconic cut that launched a million dupes. But one of the most interesting notes about the 'do is that Twiggy didn't even want the cut in the first place. It turns out she was too intimidated to turn down British stylist Leonard Lewis, so she acquiesced.
“I went in to have it shampooed and set and Leonard saw me and he said, ‘Let me do my new haircut on you,'” Twiggy told Ware during the podcast, PEOPLE reported.
“I’d been growing my hair,” she explained. “For a moment, I kind of went, ‘I don’t know whether I want my hair cut.’ But I was in this very posh salon in Mayfair, so I was a bit too shy to say I don’t want it done, and I kind of nodded.”
Twiggy returned to the salon the following day and was there for seven hours to undergo the cut and color. When a photographer took a few photos of her, Lewis hung them on the wall. The photos ended up launching her career.
“Leonard put it up in the salon, and a journalist saw it,” Twiggy said. “That’s how it all happened… When that haircut started, when that photograph was taken, that was the pivotal moment.”
