Beverley’s Bold Statement in 1975

In a spirited 1975 snapshot, Beverley Pilkington captivates in a white bathing suit bottom paired with a telling cropped t-shirt emblazoned with “Europe or Bust!” This wasn’t just fashion; it was a statement. As Robert Saunders chronicles in “Yes to Europe!” the nation grappled with the pivotal decision: to remain in Europe or break free.

With two campaign mottos, “Europe or Bust” vying against “Out and into the World,” The Mirror harnessed the allure of the era’s top supermodels to amplify the message. Pilkington, in her iconic white tee, not only exemplified 1970s chic but also echoed a nation’s historic crossroads, a model amidst a movement.
