5. 1970s – The Tall, Lean Disco Queen

While thin stayed in, the ideal body was stretched to new heights. The styles of the time were jumpsuits and bell-bottoms, more flattering to a lean, tall figure.

Farrah Fawcett was quite literally the poster woman for the ideal body type, having sold more than 12 million copies of her infamous red bathing suit poster.
