The Beehive hairstyle was developed in 1960 by Margaret Vinci Heldt of Elmhurst, Illinois, owner of the Margaret Vinci Coiffures in downtown Chicago, who won the National Coiffure Championship in 1954.
It is reminicent of the pouf hairstyle deriving from 18th-century France which was made popular by the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette in 1774 when she attended her husband Louis XVI's coronation, beginning a craze for young french woman to wear their hair in the same way. The Marie Antoinette hairstyle was created by the hairdresser of the day Leonard Autie. From then on it quickly became widespread amongst noble and upper-class women in France during the time.
