How were you first introduced to the cat eye? Was it the first time you saw Kate Moss in your big sister's Vogue? Your first Blondie concert? Or maybe, for younger readers, when Lauren Conrad started wearing the feline flick on the early seasons of "The Hills"? It's a look that's been intermittently popular for decades now -- from Kristen Stewart's recent star turns at the Chanel Paris Fashion Week shows, all the way back to Hedy Lamarr's 1940's glam (or Egyptian queen Cleopatra, if you want to go really far back).
As makeup trends come and go, the cat eye seems like it never goes out of style. Maybe it's the simplicity or the fact that it's almost universally flattering, or maybe it's because it holds a certain retro appeal. Maybe it's all three. But no matter how you cut it, winged eyeliner is here to stay. So, to celebrate the iconic look (and grab some inspiration), let's take a look at 23 of the best celebrity cat eyes of all time.
