Now the fictional saviour of rock has been voted as having the most iconic style of all time, according to a new survey.

Bowies spiky red hairdo was voted top of the mops with 19 per cent of the new poll.

The style was first unveiled in 1972 to promote the launch of his fifth album Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

The distinctive look beat off strong competition from Friends star Jenifer Anistons Rachel cut (17 per cent), and Grace Joness Geometric Flat Top as well as The Beatles Mop Top style (15 per cent)

Amy Winehouses Beehive (14 per cent), Ariana Grandes High Ponytail (12 per cent) and Veronica Lakes vintage waves (12 per cent) also made the list.

The research also found that nearly half (45 per cent) of us admitted that weve asked a hairdresser to attempt to copy a celebrity hairdo.

The poll of 2,000 Brits dug into what haircuts mean to us and found that nearly three quarters (74 per cent) of us admitting that we judge people on their hairdos.

Senior Research Consultant Claudia Crosse, from research and insights agency Perspectus Global, which conducted the study, said: Good hairdos really last in the memory - look at the popularity of David Bowies cut, still making waves 50 years later.

Some haircuts are so iconic; they form part of a vision of the star who wore them - its hard to think of Amy Winehouse without her beehive.

And so its no surprise that we also are so keen on mimicking the dos of our favourite celebrities.

Over half (60 per cent) of us say we could never go out with someone with a bad haircut, while three in ten people say that you can only be truly stylish with a good haircut, while more than one in ten even believes that you can tell if someone is a good person by their hairdo.

Interestingly, men (45 per cent) were just as likely as women (45 per cent) to copy a celebrity haircut.
