Iconic Photos of Celebrities Partying in the 1970s

David Bowie holds court in a swirl of admirers at London’s Café Royal in 1979, just after the premiere of Just a Gigolo. Draped in a flowing kimono and seated with calm poise, Bowie reaches out to shake a young fan’s hand, his face lit with genuine interest.

Beside him, model Vivienne Lynn is partially obscured by the press of bodies and eager fans. The room buzzes with excitement, velvet jackets and glittering gowns catching the flash of cameras. Bowie, as always, is the eye of the storm—otherworldly, magnetic, and utterly unbothered.
