When Bianca Jagger rode into Studio 54 on horseback in 1977, she was already known the world over for her unique sense of style. The Nicaraguan socialite favored white, wide-lapel suits and high-waisted pants, furs thrown over one shoulder, blouses unbuttoned to her navel, and sometimes, a jaunty walking stick (which was purely for fashion’s sake until she hurt her leg in a roller-skating accident and actually needed it). From her glamorous wedding in St. Tropez to her night at a black-tie gala with Andy Warhol, click through our slideshow to see her most iconic looks (and love of sequins) through the years.
