In 1972, Elizabeth Taylor made history. Not for her legendary acting roles or humanitarian work, but for her iconic photo with her dog. The British Vogue photo features Taylor sporting a big gray wig to match her Shih Tzu’s hairdo, which has led to many online noticing their own hair-don’ts.
Elizabeth Taylor, and I can not stress this enough, wearing a wig designed to match her Shih Tzu dog, Mariposa.
