I should mention that the only reason rockabilly wears the crown as king of looks is because mod became too damn expensive. All the pretentious designers and fancy photo spreads—like this one—have made it impossible to go mod without going broke, and that's not even taking into account a Vespa.

i hate her music to death, but she looks so great here. yes, i adore the mod look. rockabilly seems to only work on certain people, not just anyone can pull that off. if you don't have the personality to pull it off, the clothes end up wearing you - totally not hot no matter what the outfit.
In the main pic I love, love, love the red belted coat and hate, hate, hate the plasticy nun like headgear. Brings back some pent up Catholic school memories.
