Relive the days of '60s doo-wop and soul at the Victoria & Albert Museum's latest exhibition. Hailed as one of the most successful performing groups ever (only the Beatles had more number-one hits during their reign), the Supremes, with founding members Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson, flew through costume changes and makeovers. This display flaunts the outfits they wore over the years, from their days as high-school students in the Primettes to their glamorous wardrobes as Hollywood divas, ultimately substantiating the group as trailblazers of fashion, music and politics and celebrating their ongoing influence.
