Shelley appeared in a spread called "Make it Ruffled, Make it Quilted, Make it Smocked, But Make it Print!" which appeared on the pages of Family Circle magazine in February of 1978 as part of the mag's Moneysaver Coupons Promo. If readers wanted to sew the clothes she modeled, they could get a 15% discount on printed fabrics and matching trims with the coupon provided by the magazine. Several fabric stores spread throughout the US participated in the promo. In one pic, she modeled a calico-print quilted kimono coat trimmed with tricolor binding. And with it, she wore an deep orange turtle neck top and a bright red skirt in. Neutral colored wedge sandals and cute bags that matched her outfit finished her look. Shelley looked sensational.

The proclamation of Shelley Hack as Charlie's newest Angel made her a Hollywood superstar overnight. Her face appeared on virtually every magazine in the world and was even mentioned in the evening news. "I couldn't believe it. What was I doing in the evening news?" Shelley exclaimed. In St. Thomas, at the Caribbean, where the Charlie's Angels season opener was to be shot, she described, surprised, "When I got off the plane, there were maybe eight million paparazzi. I looked around for Sophia Loren. It was for me. I couldn't believe it." Her new co-star Cheryl Ladd said, "Shelley seemed like a doll and we were going to have a lot of fun working together." "She was sort of like the debutante," Jaclyn Smith said about the highly-charged, energetic and intellectual East Coast girl. "Jackie, Cheryl and I hit it off immediately." Shelley said, "Put your ear to the wall, all you'll hear is laughter."

She wore Simplicity pattern 6227, which was a blouse with an elastic neck and sleeves forming ruffles, over Simplicity pattern 6261, which was a bias skirt with a swirl design. A pair of matching sandals and a straw hat embellished with flowers finished her look. Shelley looked sunny and fresh as spring.

Keeping Posted in Fashion '75 B

Shelley appeared on many issues of what was known as the Seven Sisters group of magazines (Woman's Day, Redbook, McCall's, Ladies' Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle, Better Homes and Gardens) which all catered to married women with children rather than single working women. In the January 1975 issue of McCall's magazine, she appeared in a fashion spread called "Keeping Posted on Fashion" which featured fashions taken from mail-order catalogues. Deemed well-styled, up-to-the-minute and wearable, the outfits ranged from high-fashion casuals to contemporary classics - all at very affordable prices of course. Shelley modeled an easy pants outfit made up of a loose fitting V-neck shirt and stripped pants. A floppy hat, a matching bangle and a pair of platform sandals finished her look. Everything she wore was available at Sears. And Shelley was definitely easy on the eyes.
