Chandelier Dancer
Maddie Ziegler is the dancer in Sia’s music video for her hit single “Chandelier”. Her costume is easy enough to pull off but her dance moves might take some practice.
Sexy Sax Man
Sexy Sax Man Sergio Flores is known for showing up in unexpected places, like mall food courts, where he’s known to serenade a baby with that sexy George Michael song Careless Whisper.
Janelle Monae
R&B phenom Janelle Monáe has a style that matches her unique sound. She’s explained that her fashion, best described as monochromatic formal, is a tribute to her family who would wear uniforms as part of the working class.
Spice Girls
The Spice Girls was the British answer to American boy bands like ‘N Sync and Backstreet Boys. Each girl adopted a persona and a nickname that played off the word spice. They became international stars known for endorsing girl power as well as hits like Wannabe and Spice Up Your Life.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj is a songwriter and rapper known as much for her bubblegum outfits and music videos as her chart-topping singles.
Hatsune Miku
Hatsune Miku is a Vocaloid, a virtual persona created from a singing synthesizer. Being a simulation hasn’t stopped her from achieving real fame, topping the charts with many of her 100,000 songs and even opening for Lady Gaga.
Enema of the State Nurse
Blink-182’s 1999 release Enema of the State was a runaway success. The album cover features Janine Lindemulder in a scantily clad nurse’s uniform, which probably had something to do with that.
Gwen Stefani
Before there were Harajuku girls, Gwen Stefani was fronting No Doubt and setting trends for teenage girls everywhere. Pairing tomboy with girlie girl, ’90s Gwen is easy to pull off. All you need is a crop top and bright red lipstick. You can also pull out those bindis you’ve been hiding since 1995.
