The HOT MESSES
The OLD SCHOOLS
The OUTSIDE THE BOX
PaperMag has officially named it’s 25 most stylish songbirds.
“From Stevie Nicks’ billowy dresses, to Grace Jones’s power-suits, to Madonna’s Gaultier bra, to Björk’s swan get-up, female musicians have a long history of making fashion statements. These days, the current crop of songstresses, both up-and-coming and fairly established, are carrying on the tradition. To honor these women and their impeccable senses of style, we decided to compile a list who we think are the 25 most fiercely fashionable femmes doing their thing in the music biz today. As a way to keep things organized, we divided up the gals into those that rock an ethereal, very L.A. flower child look, those who go for the chic high-fashion thing, those who dress like an early-’90s club kid, those who think outside of the fashion box and those who we lovingly like to refer to as hot messes.
Here are a few:
Zooey Deschanel
MIA
Beth Ditto
Aubrey O’Day of Danity Kane
And dare I write it: Amy Winehouse. Now, how this train wreck made this list is just unclear to me!
Rebecca does not like biographies. They are stupid and she would rather spend her time editing the site. Which she does with great vigor.
