The wild world of Germany鈥檚 punk princess

Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis became famous for her wild parties and bold outfits

Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis is a German aristocrat who became a celebrity when, as a 20-year-old, she married a much older German prince. She soon earned the nickname Princess TNT because of the wild parties she threw, and the wild outfits she wore. Michael Jackson and Andy Warhol were in her circle. Multi-million dollar diamonds were her style, and her hair was dramatically styled with mohawks, yellow quiffs and pink curls. (Photo credit: Getty Images/Ron Galella.)
