Unsurprisingly, the decade also came with some questionable fashion choices. One of which was the bubble helmets. One of its most famous versions was the wacky creation brought to us by Braniff International Airways and designer Emilio Pucci. These bubble bonnets were mostly advertised for air stewardesses at the time. These glass helmets supposedly protected their hair from the windswept runways.
