Cornelia Guest was New York’s “Debutante of the Decade” in the 1980s, spent years in Hollywood as an actress, and now resides in Dallas. But she has fond childhood memories of Palm Beach. “[I loved] walking on the beach with my parents and dogs when I was little,” she told PALMER at a PB event last year. It’s safe to say she knows a thing or two about the town.
For our latest issue, Guest, with the help of legendary stylist Garren, pays homage to Palm Beach’s most defining moments in hair over the past century.
