Debbie Harry Makes Us Want to Be 70 Already So We Can Look This Cool
Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images
There are plenty of vintage images of Debbie Harry from Blondie’s heyday, but why stop there? At 70, the punk icon continues to make noise on the red carpet with her Jersey-girl edge. This year alone, Harry appeared at the Coach flagship opening in an oversize varsity jacket and rainbow-camo dress (not her first time in that look), wore sci-fi-inspired sunglasses to Fashion Week, and sported a skull-printed dress on Broadway. It’s inspiring: If Harry can wear a full-body harness, you can too — though maybe leave the flower crowns to her.
See all her best looks in our slideshow below.
