NoThe Sanremo Festival lives not only on music, and since it began, in 1951was also able to give away beauty unforgettable lookstransformed into trends if not the history of costume. Chiara Ferragni host of honor, Anna Oxa, Elodie, Giorgia, Paola and Chiara: great expectations for the protagonists who will animate the stage of the 2023 edition, from 7 to 11 February. In the meantime, let’s review those who preceded them and left a mark, in terms of beauty.
Sanremo, the beauty looks that made history
It was 1960 when Mina in a balloon dress opened the dances of the most admired Sanremo beauty trends ever with a rounded and fluffy bob typical of the period. The singer used Rai close-ups also with her iconic eyeliner, another highly copied must. Not that it was any less Iva Zanicchi: her beauty moment dates back to 1968, when, with gypsy, charms with a long braid gypsy chic.
Let’s quickly jump to the Eighties, when beauty really becomes the protagonist of the event, accomplices of women aware of the power of styling. One above all Patty Pravo, with an honorable mention at the 1984 edition animated by her Japanese-inspired hairstyles, a little samurai, a little rock geisha, and the japan style outfit studied together with Gianni Versace, who signed the chain mail dress worn during one of the evenings.

How can we forget that edition, to which it also dates It will be by Al Bano and romina: she enchants the Ariston with her floating hair in Botticelli waves and an orchid pinned to one side style blue Lagoon. Love (between the two) does the rest. And the catchphrase song wins hands down.
The 90s by Anna Oxa and Laura Pausini
The Nineties rhyme with hair looks that have made history. And for sure, costume for girls of the era, like the fluffy bob with bangs sported by Laura Pausini in 1993, the year of her debut and victory with Loneliness.
Among the most talked about dthen there is the decade Anna Oxawhich in 1999 caused a sensation for the long platinum-blonde extensions contrasting in the dark brown hair, unlike the Spice Girls. AND Mercilessly, then, he won.
Until today
The recent editions have become more glamorous, without too many excesses, but still reflecting the beauty trends of the moment. Textbook beach waves, as they show off Belen Rodríguez and Elisabetta Canalisco-hosts in 2011. Sophisticated collections, like those by Michelle Hunziker hostess in 2018 together with Claudio Baglioni and Pierfrancesco Favino. But also unexpected headshotssuch as the bowl cut of Arise in 2009, the platinum blonde pixie of Elodies in 2017, the turquoise blue hair of Loredana Berté in 2021.
And then the makeup, always fundamental on stage. Giving lessons, in the latest editions, Francesca Michielin, with spectacular eye looks made of imaginative and futuristic eyeliners. THE Maneskinswho have cleared the genderless, neo rock and absolutely glam make-up even on the most historic music stage in Italy.
Not to mention the transformist Achille Lauro, who has even staged almost theatrical performances, based entirely on the power of the beauty look. Sceptre, now, a Clare Ferragni. Can’t wait for the debut.
