Cathy McGowan, "The Queen Of The Mods," Inspired Twiggy (PHOTO)

Cathy McGowan Was Dubbed "The Queen Of The Mods"

It's no surprise that British TV presenter Cathy McGowan was called "Queen of the Mods." Hired as a presenter for the rock music show "Ready Steady Go" at just 20 years old, her adorable on-screen fashions made her a relatable role model to stylish teens of the time like Anna Wintour and Twiggy.

A previous employee of British magazine "Woman's Own," McGowan was captured in this 1965 photo during the prime of her television career, looking delightful in warm tones and eye-grazing fringe. Her outfit and accessories prove that you can never go wrong by sticking to one color family -- and don't you think her gilded coin purse is the perfect touch?
