Tina Turner Photographed by Richard Avedon for Vogue Magazine, 1971

Tina Turner in 1971 was at the peak of her dynamic career, captivating audiences worldwide with her electrifying performances and unique voice. At that time, she was performing as part of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, a powerhouse duo that combined rock, soul, and rhythm and blues. Their hits included “Proud Mary,” which became one of their signature songs after its release in 1971.

Tina favored glamorous, bold outfits that highlighted her legs and matched her high-octane performances. In 1971, she often wore sequined or fringed mini dresses that shimmered under stage lights, paired with high heels. These outfits allowed her to move freely while accentuating her energetic dance moves.

Here, Tina Turner photographed by Richard Avedon in New York for Vogue magazine on June 13, 1971. These photographs of Tina capture the visual truth that every one of Avedon’s photographs does, with no exceptions. He saw right through to the truth of anyone and everyone. Tina’s ferocity tells her truth.
