Liv Tyler Biography

Liv’s life is fascinating. She grew up in New York City with her mom, model Bebe Buell, and her mom’s boyfriend at the time, rock music idol Todd Rundgren, who she believed was her dad.

When she was 11, Liv found out at an Aerosmith concert that her biological dad was actually rock legend Steven Tyler, lead singer of the band.

Liv and Steven formed a relationship, and she got her big break a few years later when she starred in Aerosmith’s music video for “Crazy” alongside Alicia Silverstone.

The video is a little questionable by today’s standards given Liv was in high school when she played the provocative character in it (and it was, you know, her dad’s video), but she looks back on the experience today fondly, and she and Steven still have a good relationship.

Liv later starred in a couple different movies throughout the ’90s, the biggest of which was blockbuster hit Armageddon in 1998.

But Liv’s lasting legacy and greatest success came a few years later when she was cast as Arwen in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Her performance earned her rave reviews, and she was praised for her dedication in learning a fictional language for the role.

But let’s rewind to the ’90s, as that’s what we’re here to discuss. Part of what made Liv such an icon back then was her incredible sense of fashion. If you’re into fun, flirty looks that are just the right amount of retro, look no further! Here’s how you can get Liv Tyler’s style:
