Rolling Stone: Fashion Icons

The twenty musical revolutionaries on the following pages changed not just how we thought and felt, they also changed who we looked. Here are the rock stars who became fashion icons.

The Big Bang - The Beatles

Electric Bard - Bob Dylan

Psychedelic Gypsy - Jimi Hendrix

Hippie Princess - Janis Joplin

Vicious Chic - The Velvet Underground

Diva Debutantes - The Supremes

Space-Funk Kings - Parliament/Funkadelic

Interstellar Gender Warrior - David Bowie

Sex Gods - Led Zeppelin

Rock & Roll Pirates - The Rolling Stones

Well-Dressed Anarchists - The Sex Pistols

Sex Bomb - Debbie Harry

Goth Mother - Siouxsie Sioux

Original Blingster - Michael Jackson

The Look - An intergalactic Fred Astaire, Jackson has always been about flash; red leather jackets, spats, sequined marching-band uniforms and white fedoras. Now he reserves the flash for his face

The Legacy - Bobby Brown, MC Hammer, Usher and Britney all graduated from the Jackson school of fashion. Rule number one: Sequins make dance moves pop.

The High Point - Michael deubted the moonwalk during "Billie Jean" at the Motown 25 concert in 1983 wearing a black sequined cardigan over a sequined black-and-white checked shirt, with silver-sequined socks and a lone white glove

Sneaker Pimps - Run-DMC

Alpha Girl - Madonna

The Look - Madonna started out as a street scamp in leggings, short skirts and armfuls of bracelets. Next came lingerie as outwewear, glamorous gowns and furs, Western gear and now, leotards and riding crops.

The Legacy - Every female pop star since - Debbie Gibson, Gwen Stefani, Avril Lavigne - has emulated Madonna, whether they know it or not.

The High Point - The antithesis of a blushing bride, Madonna performed "Like A Virgin" at the first MTV Video Music Awards, in 1984, dressed in a while bustier, tulle skirt, Boy Toy belt buckle, white gloves, and to top it off, a white veil - which she proceeded to hump.

Thrift Store Punk - Kurt Cobain

Gangsta Guru - Snoop Dogg

Hip-Hop Fop - Andre 3000

Emo Hustler - Pete Wentz

Pete Wentz is a fashion icon? Get real. Most people don't even know who the hell he is and the ones who do won't remember him in 2 years.
