‘60s Supermodel Twiggy, 76, and ‘The Nanny' Legend Fran Drescher, 68, Are Having an Epic Hangout

'60s supermodel legend Twiggy and The Nanny star Fran Drescher looked incredible while hanging out in London.

Twiggy, 76, who is known as Dame Lesley Lawson in real life, hit the fast track with her trademark short hair and long lashes during the swinging '60s. While her memorable haircut has long since left the building, the blonde beauty still looks incredible.

Drescher, 68, had small roles in films like Saturday Night Fever and This is Spinal Tap, but became a household name thanks to her role on The Nanny as Fran Fine, a Jewish nanny from Flushing, Queens, who rules the roost for a ritzy family in New York City. The series, which ran from 1993 to 1999, became a family favorite in America and continues to live on in reruns. Now, the dynamic duo is hanging out together, and they're both absolute beauties.

"In London with my dear friend the one and only Twiggy!" Drescher captioned her photo, which showed the two sitting at a restaurant table together.

How Did Twiggy Get That Legendary Haircut?

Back in 2020, Twiggy made an appearance on Jessie Ware's Table Manners and opened up about how she came to have that iconic cut, which she originally didn't want in the first place. Too intimidated to turn down British stylist Leonard Lewis, she acquiesced.

"I went in to have it shampooed and set and Leonard saw me and he said, ‘Let me do my new haircut on you,'" Twiggy told Ware during the podcast, PEOPLE reported.

"I'd been growing my hair," she explained. "For a moment, I kind of went, ‘I don't know whether I want my hair cut.' But I was in this very posh salon in Mayfair, so I was a bit too shy to say I don't want it done, and I kind of nodded."

Twiggy returned the next day and was there for seven hours to undergo the cut and color. When a photographer took a few snaps of her, Lewis hung the photos in the salon.

"Leonard put it up in the salon, and a journalist saw it," Twiggy said. "That's how it all happened… When that haircut started, when that photograph was taken, that was the pivotal moment."

On her Instagram page, Twiggy occasionally posts throwback photos of herself with the fan-favorite cut.
