Style Evolution: Heather Locklear (PHOTOS)

HuffPost Social Reading

With her cool California-girl looks and enviable figure, Heather Locklear has been a style icon since her "Dynasty" days.

And as cunning ad exec Amanda Woodward on "Melrose Place," the small-screen star made micro-minis and stilettos de rigueur for the office.

Today, on Locklear's 50th birthday, we've taken a look back at her memorable ensembles throughout the years, from early-'80s workout gear a la Olivia Newton-John, to boxy blazers and feathered hair, to her more refined red carpet stylings of late.

Happy Birthday Heather!! I have a picture of you and I when I was on the set of TJ Hooker in Malibu, the studio rented my friends beach house. I have showed that picture to so many people and they always said we make a handsome couple....I wish, have a fantastic birthday Heather, take care your friend Jim.

Farrah Fawcett, Heidi Klum, Morgan Fairchild - and the list goes on.
All magnificently beautiful women.
Even talented and proving themselves as having real substance as humans too. Exceptional.

Yet, Heather has always led my list. Having some indescribable combination of being gorgeous and even the essence of "perfection" -- yet she seems "real".

Her imperfections only 2. And those are connected. She chooses these guys that are really strange (not in a good way)....and the big thing - they aren't me!

I hope she realizes at some time how very simple it would be to completely honorably cure those faults any time!

10:05 PM on 09/25/2011

Heather Locklear has always been my favorite. With a body and face like hers, she could make a garbage bag look like an evening gown. Heather gets 10 snaps--------------up !

Heather's just like a bottle of fine wine - she just keeps getting better with age!

Hello, Is there anyone out there?

I'll bet that Heather would have looked just as good out of those outfits, expecially after her boob job.

Apparently knock-out good looks and money do not equal taste and style.
So sad.

Now that is just plain DUMB. She isa beautiful and any guy would be happy to open her car door, walk on the street side of a sidwalk. help her get seated in a chair before eating dinner, take her home to MOM, she is IT and you are not.
