13 of the Most Iconic Blondes

Contrary to popular belief, there’s more than one kind of blonde. The hair color can denote bombshell or bohemian, punk or pin-up. Here, I’ve rounded up the 13 most iconic blondes, from the 1930’s to today, who represent all the varying shades of a woman.

#1. White Hot: In the 1930s, Jean Harlow’s platinum coif was part of her sexy and sassy movie persona.
