Edie Sedgwick, born Edith Minturn Sedgwick in 1943, was the ultimate 1960s style icon and one of Andy Warhol’s most unforgettable muses.
A beautiful socialite from a prominent New England family, Sedgwick exploded onto the New York art scene in 1965 when she arrived at Warhol’s legendary Factory. With her signature silver-blonde cropped hair, heavy black eyeliner, chandelier earrings, and bold miniskirts, she embodied the era’s youthquake spirit.
Vogue magazine hailed her as a “Youthquaker,” and Sedgwick quickly became the star of Warhol’s underground films, including Poor Little Rich Girl and Beauty No. 2. For a brief, dazzling moment, she and Warhol formed one of the most glamorous and talked-about partnerships in Pop Art history, until their dramatic split in 1966.
Though her life was turbulent and tragically cut short at the age of 28, Edie Sedgwick remains an enduring symbol of 1960s glamour, rebellion, and the fleeting nature of fame. Here are some stunning vintage portraits of Warhol’s brightest superstar, the ultimate icon of Swinging Sixties glamour and tragedy.
