Overnight these women were transformed from shy military spouses to American royalty: having tea with Jackie Kennedy attending high society galas & being featured on the cover of Life magazine. They quickly grew into fashion icons donning sherbet-swirled Pucci dresses & lacquering their hair into extravagant rocket styles (to match their husbands' spaceships).
