Before she was kicking ass as everyone's favorite "Game of Thrones" grandma, Diana Rigg took names as spy Emma Peel on popular '60s TV show, "The Avengers." Let's just say her winged liner was every bit as sharp as Lady Olenna's signature wit.

Lauren Conrad doesn't have as much name recognition now as she did back when her multiple hit reality series ruled the world but she did have something of a lasting impact in the beauty department: She's one of the people who first brought the cat eye into vogue in the early 2000s. Some of us (Conrad included) have been rocking the look ever since.

If you saw Jean Seberg's star turn in Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless," you've no doubt envied her timeless style, from the short-short pixie to the striped T-shirts to the -- it almost goes without saying -- winged eyeliner.

Love her or hate her, you have to admit that Taylor Swift's simultaneously retro-yet-current winged liner/red lip combo is seriously on point. P.S. If there were an award on this list for best post-gym eyeliner, Ms. Swift would most certainly win it.

As far as beauty looks go, it doesn't get much better than Debbie Harry's platinum '80s bangs, blue eye shadow, and seriously intense cat eyes. Cue "One Way or Another," because this winged eyeliner look is absolutely essential.
