More and more talented artists rise to fame in the music industry each year. In every genre, you might notice there are new names and new music all the time. Some names shake up the music industry. They do this with their music as well as with their different, unique, and somehow out-of-the-world fashion styles. It’s a talent, indeed, to be known for so many things. That’s probably why they will stand out as icons in both the music and fashion industries.

Music and fashion are powerful industries. Both have such a huge impact on so many people all across the world. They allow people to express who they are, what they stand for, and what they feel in amazing ways.

 

It is no wonder that the people who are known for their music and entertainment are also identified with their unique and amazing sense of style. They have the capacity to be big-time influencers both to their respective fanbases and to the whole world.

 

This article lists the artists and celebrities who are at their A-game in both the music and fashion worlds. They are standing out as style icons as of this moment. If you are looking for inspiration on how to dress up, show up in the spotlight, and make people’s heads turn, you might just get some ideas from these talented music fashion icons.

Beyoncè

Ever since her Destiny Child days, Queen B has always been slaying her sartorial looks. She does this on the red carpet and in candid paparazzi shots. Beyoncè has been known for her killer looks that show off her feminine curves. She embraces sheer fabrics for her red carpet gowns. Her statement earrings also go along with her outfits.

 

Additionally, Bey is known in fashion for her fierce and sparkly outfits. An example would be her MET Gala looks and leotards she wore on stage as she performs during her concert tours or even in the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. This sparkly outfit trend has now been embraced by certain celebrities such as Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga which is also now a huge trend in most fast fashion boutiques.

 

Besides her dominant force in the pop music industry, Beyoncè will always be known for her gorgeous attire. During her red carpet appearances, she stands out with gowns that emphasize her big booty and hourglass body shape. She has definitely embraced this body shape and adapted her style to it. At the same time, she also influences countless people with her timeless style.

Lady Gaga

If you’re talking about outrageous, seemingly crazy, and out-of-the-world fashion, the first person who might spring to mind is Lady Gaga. She is known for reinventing herself all throughout her years in the music and fashion industry. In fact, she has appeared in a red carpet event solely wearing raw meat on her whole body. She has also worn a gorgeous, sleek, black ball gown during the Golden Globe Awards.

 

The “Born This Way” star has indeed established herself as a style icon. She has inspired many people, including those from different races and sexualities, to express themselves unapologetically.

 

That said, the star has been seen freely wearing anything on her shows. She clearly knows her own unique style and body type. She is confident and comfortable with her body and has been seen wearing an array of clothing, from unique and fashionable push up bras that look like disco balls to long, elegant gowns made from latex.

Lady Gaga, with her pop culture and very different fashion styles, was said to be one of the major influences of haute couture in Paris back in 2009. Her style influences are also now seen on sculptural skirts that have different angles and fabrics than the regular. They are also reflected in some bold, shining and dangling chains, jewelry, and masks that have been revolving around the fashion world.

Rihanna

Rihanna’s voice is powerful and raspy. She is certainly a musical hitmaker with a recognisable voice. She has shown time and time again that it’s not all she’s got. She is also known for her street style looks and her sartorial attires during her gala and red carpet appearances.

 

The pop star also started her own clothing and makeup line that has made its impact on the fashion markets around the world. From releasing Fenty Beauty, known for being the first makeup brand to have 40 shades for its foundation, Rihanna also moved forward to releasing a lingerie line and various clothing lines.

 

She has also recently partnered up with high-fashion conglomerate LVMH to be the first woman of colour as a luxury fashion designer for the brand as she advocates for an all-inclusive fashion for all colours and races.

 

Rihanna is indeed fearless in her style. She doesn’t necessarily stick with a trend, rather, she starts a global trend herself. She is also not limiting herself to safe and flattering looks. She opts to go with unexpected choices in which she still looks confident and amazing.

Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj’s style is all about colours. She wears bold, bright, and captivating colours. She also has such obvious (and quite talked about) curves. These are almost similar to Beyonce’s body type. Nicki’s style goes with a lot of patterns and prints that are so unique and new to the eyes.

 

The rapper has also been seen in sheer beaded gowns when she walked along the red carpet. Her style is also composed of animal prints and dresses designed with modern, colourful prints.

 

Minaj has been deemed a rising fashion icon mostly because of her spirit and commitment to funky, bold, and outlandish style that is almost too daunting to copy. One of her great roles and influences in the fashion world is not only her inspiration with bright, almost neon clothes (which are reflected in her fashion line in collaboration with Kmart), but also her outrageous and colourful hair and makeup. She has also been known to influence the rise of wig sales, especially those with bright colours.

Katy Perry

Similar to Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry is also all about colours. Her colours are more muted or pastel and fresh to the eyes rather than bold, bright ones. Hers is a more retro-ish style. She has definitely evolved her closet and fashion sense throughout the years. This “California Girls” star has always been known for her sweet, fresh, and colourful looks.

However, as she has progressed in the music industry throughout the years, so did her looks. Currently, she has commonly been seen slaying ultra-glam looks. Still somehow with lots of bold colours and sparkle but not as muted as the ones she styled with before. If you’re planning to get her style, fun and quirky must be a part of it.

 

Because of her usual outfit picks, Katy Perry has started the trend of candy-coloured ensembles with some hints of quirky and humorous glamour. An example of this would be her recent MET Gala look with the theme, “Camp,” where she dressed as a Cheeseburger. She also recently launched a new fashion footing line filled with bright-coloured and fun designs including watermelon slides.

Gwen Stefani

The Voice judge and singer-songwriter, Gwen Stefani, is also known for rocking unique outfits. She stands out in these. Gwen started her career at a very young age as a lead vocalist of the band, No Doubt, and has ever since fuelled her career in the music industry. She was known for her funk looks back then. Now, she has seemingly transitioned into more of classic, red-lip diva looks as the years passed.

 

Additionally, her edgy personality has also given birth to her sporty-chic style. This is evident as a huge part of her brand. This brand has influenced a lot of young artist’s popstar- and rocker-inspired outfits.

 

Gwen once narrated that she has loved sewing her own clothes ever since she was young and that starting her own clothing line has always been a dream for her. Now, it has been years since she started her own label L.A.M.B which is now focusing on eyewear. With this, she has influenced the fashion world to embrace a rocker-chic style that is not as much of a high-fashion brand as it is everyday wear.

Conclusion

As you might have noticed, all these celebrities have different types of bodies. They seem to rock every single one of their outfits because of their unique sense of style. There is a confidence that reflects in them when they show up. It is indeed amazing to know these people have surpassed not only their mark in the industry as musicians and record producers but also as trendsetters and fashion icons.
