Famous celebrities to rock the unibrow

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

Fashion is a constant and ever-changing part of our society. New clothes and hair trends come and go just like yesterday’s old news. However, unless you’d like to resemble Bert from Sesame Street, there’s one fashion that’s probably not on your must-have list. In case you’re lost, we’re talking about the forehead caterpillar, the eye bridge, the gaze stache – ladies and gentlemen – the unibrow.

Though it doesn’t personally rock our world, this abundance of hair between the eyebrows may be seen as an attractive quality in some cultures. Still, don’t let this fool you into thinking that it hasn’t shared its time in the spotlight. Several celebrities, rather they’re aware of it or not, have and still do rock the unibrow. Check them out:

British popband Oasis’ frontman and guitarist, Noel Gallagher has seen his ups and downs. Noel could use a break from all the negative publicity that he and his brother have made throughout their music careers due to family feuding and drinking. We still like to blast “Wonderwall” with the windows rolled down, so we can overlook the unibrow AND all the public shenanigans because we got our fingers crossed that Oasis will put it all behind them and focus on the studio someday soon.

Artists can be eccentric and in turn, they can get away with a lot more than the average person when it comes to acceptable and unacceptable fashion – and this includes Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. Her unibrow has made her one of the more recognizable icons in art and Mexican history. In fact, she loved that little black caterpillar so much that she painted it over and over again throughout her artistic self-portrait career.

Musician: George Harrison of the Beatles

That’s right, ladies – one fourth of the 1960’s heartthrob sensation known as The Beatles sported a unibrow. Guitarist/vocalist George Harrison proudly wore his forehead warmer all around London as he John, Paul and Ringo were chased by the crazed hordes of teenage women. Apparently, the girls couldn’t get enough of it.

Actor: Colin Farrell

Colin Farrell is famous for two things: his good looks and his ability to swear like a sailor. Oh, and his drinking – okay, so three things. Oh, and that breakout talent that often creeps up and wows us – okay, so FOUR things. It’s not surprising, then, that the fact that this Irish-born actor rocks the unibrow gets a bit lost in the shuffle. And does it really matter when he’s that gorgeous and has that fantastic accent? Yeah, we didn’t think so either.
