8 Sharon Tate Outfits That Epitomize Her Mod '60s Style

Sharon Tate rose to fame in the 1960s, quickly becoming one of Hollywood's most beloved up-and-coming starlets. Between her memorable performance in Valley of the Dolls (which earned her a Golden Globe nomination) and her signature '60s style, Tate was almost instantly one of the era's defining icons alongside the likes of Priscilla Presley and Audrey Hepburn.

Despite her tragic early death during the Manson family murders in 1969, Tate's legacy lives on in both film and fashion. In 2019, a new generation fell in love with her effortless mod style when Margot Robbie portrayed her in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Whether she was leaving the airport or a movie premiere, Tate never missed an opportunity to make a statement, often opting for retro patterns and timeless silhouettes. Read on for eight of the most iconic Sharon Tate outfits of all time, complete with product picks to recreate the look.

Mary Jane Moment

Talk about a lesson in timeless fashion. Tate's '60s street style looks like something Taylor Swift would wear off-duty in New York City today. Between her burgundy skater-style dress and brown Mary Jane flats, Tate's look is a wearable embodiment of the era.

Airport (Not So) Casual

Move over, mob wife aesthetic: From now on, we're wearing our (faux) furs in honor of Tate's iconic airport style. The actress consistently made a style statement even when she traveled, ensuring she was dressed to the nines and fully airport crush-worthy. Also, let's take a moment for the star's floral travel duffle. We can definitely see the style making a return to luggage in the near future.

The Coquette Bride

We aren't talking about Sharon Tate's coquette bridal look nearly enough. For her wedding reception, Tate wore a puff-sleeve, turtleneck mini dress with white tights, which belongs on any coquette bride-to-be's vision board. In case you're looking for wedding hair inspiration, take a note from Tate, who adorned her hair with tiny bows and flowers for her big day.

Case of the Blues

Tate leaned into her playful side with a pool blue monochrome suiting moment, accented with a blue-and-white turtleneck and matching pageboy hat (a.k.a. our new closet must-have), plus a white quilted shoulder bag. The actress also switched out her signature golden blonde strands for a dark brown hair color.

Mad About Mod

Remember when we said Tate had iconic airport style? It reaches far beyond fur coats. Here, the starlet wears a quintessential mod look, pairing her retro-striped mini dress with a matching neck scarf, a black wool coat, and everyday heels with a buckle accent.

Playful Poolside

Tate's poolside lounging moment in Valley of The Dolls has earned its place at the top of our summer outfit inspiration list. Get the look for the pool party you're manifesting with a triangle green bikini (or any bold color of your choosing), flowing statement pants, and chunky bangles.

All That Glitters

While attending an event with her husband, Tate opted for a classic little black dress with a twist. Her sparkly fit-and-flare number featured a sporty scoop neckline, making for the ultimate fun party look.

Night Out Florals

While Cannes is notoriously one of the most glamorous, black-tie film extravaganzas of them all, Tate marched to the beat of her own drum. For a night out during the festival, the actress swapped her glittery black LBD for a floral puff-sleeve babydoll dress, styling it with round-toe heels and a simple black clutch.
