The Most Iconic Images Of Celebrities That Have Made History

Lady Gaga And Bradley Cooper’s Oscar Performance

Pop singer Lady Gaga and actor Bradley Cooper starred in A Star Is Born in 2018, a movie that made us fall in love with the couple’s chemistry on screen. Later in February 2019, the couple performed the hit song Shallow at the Oscars.

Rumors were going around about the possibility of a romance between the couple, as Gaga later canceled her engagement and Cooper broke up with his girlfriend. Still, they denied any love affair.

The Duchess Of Windsor

The Duchess of Windsor was caught at the opening party of the National Ballet of Canada in New York City in 1974. She was wearing a luxurious fur coat.

Ron Galella photographed the royal wearing what seems to be a couture fur coat with a not-so-friendly expression on her face. We guess she just wanted to enjoy the party rather than be followed by sneaky photographers.

Beyoncé’s Pregnancy Announcement

When you are a celebrity, the world waits for news about you. So you can either be as silent as the grave or make a huge announcement. Beyoncé decided to make it big when she announced her second pregnancy.

In February 2017, she posted a photo of herself covered in flowers with a big growing belly on Instagram. “We have been blessed two times over,” the caption read. Jay-Z and the singer were expecting twins.

Diana’s Last Photo

Princess Diana was adored in every corner of the world. Like any other celebrity, she was constantly chased by paparazzi, even after getting divorced.

This photo was taken in Paris when she and her lover were chased by paparazzi in cars and motorcycles. Minutes after this shot, Diana’s car crashed. Unfortunately, she didn’t survive.

Pam And Tommy

Some couples are so loved by the public that paparazzi won’t let them be, and Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee were one of them. The model and actress was married to the singer from 1995 to 1998.

The couple arrived at the MTV Music Awards red carpet wearing iconic outfits. Pamela wore a big pink furry hat with a white corset and tight shiny pants, while Tommy was into a hippie style. Perfect match!

The Oscar Selfie

The concept of taking a selfie dates back to 2010. Teens posted their selfies to their social media profiles, and the rest is history. Four years later, some of the best Hollywood actors gathered for a selfie at the Oscars.

Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Angelina Jolie, Lupita Nyong'o and Ellen DeGeneres took a selfie together and posted it on Twitter. It quickly became the most retweeted tweet of all time, as it was retweeted 3 million times.

Liza Minnelli

Photographer Ron Galella captured the beautiful 25-year-old actress Liza Minnelli at the Cabaret premiere party in Los Angeles in 1972.

The actress and singer was caught outside the New York Hotel to celebrate the musical drama she starred in with Michael York and Joel Grey. She won an Oscar for her work on this movie.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Wedding

Meghan Markle’s life completely changed when she tied the knot with Prince Harry. Marrying a royal meant leaving her career behind to become Duchess of Sussex. Their romance made headlines from the very beginning.

The photos of their wedding marked an unforgettable moment in history. It was Lady Di’s youngest son who became Duke of Sussex. Even after the royal wedding, the couple still made headlines with controversial statements about the royal family.

Jackie Kennedy Onassis

The beautiful Jackie Kennedy Onassis, who served as First Lady of the United States, was caught enjoying the 5th Annual RKF Pro-Celebrity Tennis Tournament in 1976.

White pants, a black-and-white striped t-shirt and stylish sunglasses were part of the First Lady’s outfit. Loose hair and lip-gloss completed the look.

Caitlyn Jenner’s Vanity Fair Cover

The whole world watched Caitlyn Jenner’s transformation into the woman she really wished to be. Caitlyn was the first openly transgender woman to grace the cover of Vanity Fair.

Caitlyn achieved her goal by appearing on the cover of one of the most exclusive magazines of the century. The headline read “Call Me Caitlyn.”

John Travolta

Actor John Travolta was just starting his career in 1976. Despite being fresh meat in Hollywood, he already had desperate fans waiting to get his autograph. The young actor was photographed surrounded by fans.

The actor attended the Bus Stop Opening Night Play Performance. Playbills signed by Travolta that day are sold on eBay for $40. It was truly historic.

Lady Gaga’s Meat Dress

The title is totally correct. It was a meat dress worn by the iconic Lady Gaga. The singer has a reputation for wearing extravagant and out-of-the-ordinary costumes, except that this time she might have gone too far.

Gaga was covered in raw beef when she attended the MTV Video Music Awards in 2010. She even dared to ask Cher to hold the meat purse for her. The singer has always sparked conversations about her eccentric ways.

John Lennon And Mick Jagger

To have two rock legends in one photo is exceptional, but Ron Galella made it happen. He photographed John Lennon and Mick Jagger at the American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Awards in Los Angeles.

The singers were suited up for the occasion. Holding a cigarette in one hand, Jagger was exceptionally elegant, and Lennon wore a striking black bowtie that was a nice change from his usual hippie-style clothing.

Taylor Swift And Jake Gyllenhaal

This photo of the pop-country singer and actor was not so controversial back in 2010, but now it is more than that. After the couple split, Taylor Swift wrote a breakup album about the relationship – at least, that’s what fans think. The biggest song on it was All Too Well.

This photo made history the moment All Too Well was out on the radio. The red scarf has made some history too, but we aren’t going to get into it today.

Bill And Hillary Clinton

It was a beautiful day in the US Virgin Islands on January 4, 1998, when Bill and Hillary were caught by paparazzi dancing on the beach. The couple looked madly in love, despite recent rumors of an affair.

The couple had been through a difficult time when the world knew about the former president’s affair with an intern. However, they didn’t miss the chance to build upon their love and enjoy a beautiful time together.

Prince William And Kate Middleton

The wedding of Prince William and Duchess Kate was a significant event for the royal family –and for the whole world, too. The couple married at Westminster Abbey in London in April 2011.

An estimated 1,900 people attended the ceremony. William’s best man was his little brother, Harry. As for the Duchess, she had Pippa Middleton, her little sister, as her maid of honor.

Robin Williams

Actor and comedian Robin Williams looks fresh and vintage in this 1969 photo. He was only 19 years old in this picture. This leads us to believe that he either had the fountain of youth or was just graced with the gift of not aging.

Winner of countless awards and a successful career in Hollywood, Robin committed suicide in 2014. He will always be missed by his fans, friends, and family.

Harry Potter Premiere

The famous Harry Potter movies came to an end in 2011 when the last film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, came out.

Costars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint joined the London premiere and posed for a photo with the woman who created the story, J. K. Rowling.

Yacht Love

Most actors and actresses end up dating after working together in a movie. At first, the public believes it’s just film publicity. But then, paparazzi sneak in and prove to the world that their love is real.

This is a yacht love between co-stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, who were caught getting really close and personal on a yacht after the movie Cleopatra was released.

Jennifer Lawrence

It’s hard to hold your laughter when someone falls right in front of your eyes. Imagine the audience at the 2013 Oscars holding back from laughing at Jennifer Lawrence’s tripping while getting on stage.

Actress Jennifer Lawrence is known for her charming and captivating attitude. She made a joke out of the embarrassing moment and enjoyed her award for best actress for Silver Linings Playbook.

Madonna

The Iconic Madonna was photographed at New York City’s Palladium nightclub while having some fun and hugging a guy. The singer didn’t mind the photographer’s intrusion and happily showed a big smile on her face.

The singer had glowing make-up on and wore shiny jewelry and a flower cap. She was just right into the trend of a 1985 party night.

Miley Cyrus And Robin Thicke

When two eccentric pop singers combine, anything can happen as a result. Back in 2013, Wrecking Ball was hitting number one, and Miley’s beautiful madness was all over the place. That same year, Blurred Lines was also a hit record.

Miley and Robin Thicke performed together at the VMAs in 2013. In the middle of the show, Miley twerked against the singer. Some people wished to reincarnate into Miley to live that moment.

Kim Kardashian’s Paper Cover

Stunning Kim Kardashian posed for the cover of Paper Magazine in a shocking way. The “Break the Internet” issue was a huge success, thanks to Kim’s perfect butt.

This 2014 photo made the internet go crazy, alongside her marriage to Kris Humphries. As of today, Kim won’t stop making headlines. She definitely runs the media world.

Britney Spears In 2007

Singer Britney Spears had several years of chaos and bad decision-making, and this photo is proof of it. In 2007 she went through a lot and didn’t hide it from the public, so paparazzi were out to capture the best shot.

The singer went to a hair salon after she got out of the rehab center. She saw the opportunity and boldly went for it: she grabbed a shaver and said goodbye to her hair.

Ron Galella Did It Again

Photographer Ron Galella excelled at taking the best celebrity shots. This time, he captured Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty and Donald Trump enjoying a night at Trump Plaza in 1988.

The celebrities were watching Mike Tyson kicking Michael Spinks’s butt. Sunglasses, cigarettes and most importantly, these men’s youth were all over the scene.

A Violent Relationship

Amy Winehouse’s life had some ups and downs, with most of the downs publicly known. The singer had an explosive marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil, and this photo is proof of it.

One night, the singer was caught leaving a hotel room with her husband. Both of them were injured and covered in blood. Hotel guests later declared that they heard the couple fighting. They didn’t even care to clean up a little bit.

Brad Pitt And Jennifer Aniston

Some Hollywood couples are so iconic that fans are desperate to see them together and paparazzi follow them everywhere they go. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were truly iconic in early 2000.

In 2005, the famous couple was in Anguilla when they were captured taking a walk on the beach. This was one of the last photos of the couple because they later broke up.

Amanda Bynes

Fame can take the best and the worst out of a person. The pressure and exposure are high, as not everybody can handle it. Actress Amanda Bynes was only 22 years old and a ten-year career behind.

The actress couldn’t cope with the pressure of fame. Her life was in a downward spiral until she hit rock bottom when she was arrested in 2013. Amanda was photographed attending her hearing in court with a comfy outfit and a messy wig.

John F. Kennedy Jr.

Handsome John F. Kennedy Jr. is captured by Ron Galella while enjoying a sunny day in Hyannis, Massachusetts, where the Kennedys own a compound.

Shirtless and holding a can of soda, JFK Jr. took the Labor Day weekend off for some refreshment.

What A Night

Lindsay Lohan had alcohol problems, and everybody knew about it. Paparazzi wouldn’t let the actress alone and always capture the worst moments of her life.

This photo was taken in 2007 after a rough night. After the paparazzi leaked the material, fans were worried that the actress had no control or limit over her life. Fortunately, the next day she went to rehab to get some help.

Out-Of-Control Sean Penn

Imagine being a celebrity who’s always followed by a camera everywhere you go. While it’s true that it is the cost of being famous and known, the situation can sometimes be exhausting. Some celebrities don’t have privacy at all.

Sean Penn was sick-and-tired of paparazzi. One day he decided to, instead of ignoring the men, give them a taste of his fists. The actor was out on a date with his wife at that time, Madonna.

Caught Cheating

The Twilight Saga was a huge success, as it gained fans around the world. Co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson started dating in real life, and fans were crazy about them. But Kristen had other plans in mind…

In 2012, Kristen was filming Snow White and the Huntsman while dating Pattinson. Paparazzi were always around to get a sneak peek when they caught Kristen and the movie director together. They were both cheating on their partners. The news went viral.

It Could’ve Been A Tragedy

There was a time when the paparazzi wouldn’t leave Britney Spears alone. One day, they captured the singer leaving the Ritz Carlton hotel and a scene that could have turned into tragedy.

Britney had Sean Preston, eight months old, in her arms when she lost balance and almost dropped him. Fortunately, a security guard quickly reacted and immediately caught the baby.

Tupac Shakur

It hurts when we lose a talent. In 1996, we lost one of the most famous rappers worldwide, Tupac Shakur. He had a unique talent, as he made a revolution in the hip-hop genre. Apart from being a singer, Shakur was also an actor, activist and philanthropist.

This photo was taken before the rapper was shot in his car while driving on a Nevada road. He spent six days in hospital but didn’t survive, as he had internal bleeding.

Cindy Crawford

Supermodel Cindy Crawford was burning red when she attended the 1990 Revlon event at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The supermodel and actress chose a short tight dress that matched her red lips and added shiny earrings and wavy hair. She looked stunning.
