PAPERMAG: Barbra Streisand, Original Hipster

Word of Mouth

Abby Schreiber

If you thought dads were the original hipsters, well, you thought wrong. It was Barbra Streisand, whose 70th birthday is today. From floppy knit hats to oversized fur to cat eyes to pixie cuts, Babs has pulled off just about every look on the L train fashion spectrum. Even as a child, she could rock a quasi-politically incorrect Native American headdress way better than Vanessa Hudgens at Coachella.

Happy birthday, Babs!
