When it comes to music, to create a movement you don’t just have to have the hits, you have to have the look to go with it. Here are 10 of the most iconic looks of all time.
Elvis Presley
If a sparkly white and gold suit with flairs and a quiff is good enough for the King of Rock, it’s good enough for us.
David Bowie
Bowie was obviously going to be on here but to pick just one of us his iconic looks is a colossal task. His lightning makeup for the Aladdin Sane cover at the time was exceptionally bold.
Madonna
Madonna also had many iconic looks but her infamous cone bra has got to be top of the list.
Prince
Anyone else in a velvet purple suit will look like a walking Cadburies advert, but Prince looked like a funky God.
Kurt Cobain
These days, his look looks more like a lazy jumper and jeans ensemble than iconic. At the time, however, his Smells Like Teen Spirit look launched the grunge aesthetic.
Britney Spears
Was the sexy schoolgirl look even a thing before Hit Me Baby One More Time?
Cherrie Curry
The revealing outfit she wore at The Runaways Japan show was scandalous but daringly iconic.
KISS
It’s the look that brought glam rock to the mainstream.
The Ramones
Their leather jackets and ripped up jeans were essential to the punk movement.
The Beatles
The outfits worn for the ‘Sargent Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club’ era are a fundamental part of rock history.
