Singer, actress, style icon, mother, the ultimate diva; all of these words have been used to describe the one and only Miss Diana Ross!

For five decades now, Ross has mesmerized audiences with her sexy vocals, over-the-top costumes and famous “fly away” hair.  Ever since her days as a ‘super-duper’ Supreme, Ross has set the standard of what a female entertainer should look like, sound like and act like on and off stage.

Her influence can easily be seen in some of today’s female entertainers like Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Ciara, Solange, and Kelly Rowland.

Ross has also been a muse for several fashion designers including Thierry Mugler and the great, Bob Mackie!

Here are some of our favorite moments throughout her stellar career…
