Paul McCartney, the legendary musician who turned 82 in June, has been a star for almost seven decades. He’s just as amazing today as he was back in 1961 when he joined The Beatles.
Over the years, Paul has gone through many changes in his life and looks but still remains a fantastic entertainer who keeps releasing hits and showing off his style.
Keep reading to learn about Paul’s timeless fashion sense!
In the 1960s, during Beatlemania, The Beatles made a huge impact on pop culture, fashion, and grooming. Their sharp suits and famous mop-top haircuts, with side-swept bangs, became a global trend that is still remembered today.
Throughout the years, fans have seen Paul McCartney try different hairstyles, from shorter shags to beards and mustaches, always staying in tune with the trends of each era.
In 1969, the same year he married Linda, Paul rocked shaggy red hair and a thick beard, which many admired. His beard even has its own Instagram page dedicated to it, calling it “the finest beard in rock n roll history.”
Paul liked to experiment with his hair, but not all attempts were successful. When he was married to Heather Mills, he once tried to dye his hair at home, but it didn’t go well. Heather had to call a salon in Manhattan to fix it after people made fun of the color.
Eventually, Paul accepted that his hair was aging. In 2018, at age 76, he surprised fans by appearing on *The Tonight Show* with Jimmy Fallon with beautiful silver hair. After years of coloring his hair brown, he embraced the gray and became a “silver fox.”
During his 2023 *GOT BACK* tour, Paul was seen with silver hair as his signature look, which gives him a distinguished and mature appearance. This change came after releasing his highly praised 18th solo album *McCartney III* in 2020.
In March 2024, Paul was spotted having fun on the beaches of St. Barts with his wife, Nancy Shevell, whom he married in 2011. Paul was wearing a long-sleeved black shirt and sunset-print shorts, with his hair blowing in the wind. Nancy, who is 64 and related to the late journalist Barbara Walters, wore black shorts and a colorful long-sleeved top while enjoying the water.
Recently, Paul also shared a sweet post on social media, wishing a happy birthday to both his father and his former bandmate, Ringo Starr.
Fans quickly flooded the comments with birthday wishes, praising Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr for still looking great.
One fan joked, “Stop being so cute, old man,” while another referenced the song “She Loves You,” saying, “We love you yeah yeah yeah.” Another person wrote, “You look great, Paul. Love your outfit,” and someone else added, “You are so handsome.”
Paul’s hairstyles may have changed over the years, but his early mop-top and sharp suits remain some of the most iconic images of him and The Beatles.
Throughout his career, Paul McCartney has kept a youthful spirit, balancing his status as a cultural icon with the wisdom of a music legend. He’s always kept his own unique style and charisma.
