Welcome to Legends Only, a look back at the best beauty moments from our favorite celebrity legends. First up, Drew Barrymore, who walks us through her archive of hair and makeup
After decades of being a beauty chameleon, Drew Barrymore has finally committed to a look she truly loves. “I've fried my hair,” she says with a laugh over the phone. “I’ve cut it off and regrown it what feels like thousand times. I'm finished, but I am so glad I played. This is it.”
The “this” that she’s referring to is a look that deserves its very own talk show: Glossy, amber-brown waves that are parted down the middle with loose boho waves that follow.
The latest hair transformation is also fitting for another one of her new gigs. The Flower Beauty founder— and host of her eponymous daytime television show—has just joined the Garnier family as the creative director and spokesperson of Garnier's clean Whole Blends Sulfate-Free Remedy haircare collection. The collaboration was organic—Barrymore first started gushing about the brand during 2020's Beauty Junkie Week, "completely unsolicited," she adds. Then, the brand reached out to the star and thus began the match made in hair heaven. And while Barrymore's current look might be "it" for a long time, that hasn't stopped her from creating some of the most iconic and recreated beauty looks of the 21st century.
Below, Barrymore reminisces with us about six of her most memorable beauty moments—starting with an adorable red carpet moment when she was just seven to her current 2021 working-girl vibe.
