After jazz trumpeter Miles Davis dropped out of Juilliard in the 1940s (with his father’s permission), he felt free to fully experiment with his musical style. By the 1970s, he had wildly departed from his contemporaries’ clean-cut bebop style in order to pioneer the electric jazz-rock style.
Miles Davis
Elvis Presley stepped into the 1950s music scene as a clean-cut crooner from modest, Southern roots. But by the early 1970s he had gone completely Vegas, trading in his suit jackets and wingtips for platform shoes and sequined jumpsuits.
Elvis Presley
Johnny Cash signed to Sun Records in 1954, shortly after Elvis also hit the charts. But when Presley began donning sparkly bell-bottoms in the 1970s, Cash started wearing black from head-to-toe. Cash later said he wore the color in honor of “the ones who are held back,” including the poor, the drug-addicted, and the young casualties of the Vietnam War.
Johnny Cash
The Beatles ditched their mop-tops and Mod suits in the mid 1960s, after discovering psychedelic drugs and spiritual enlightenment. Their new style featured dramatic floral prints, Indian-influenced garb, blue jeans and shaggy facial hair.
As a member of The Supremes, Diana Ross and her bandmates often sported identical dresses of conservative colors and cuts. But as these ladies became the most popular vocal group of the 1960s, their fashion sense also demonstrated a new confidence: bright colors, low necklines and playful patterns. By the time Ross went solo, her wardrobe was the subject of controversy…and envy.
Diana Ross
If anyone has mastered the art of the metamorphosis, it’s Cher. Not one to shy away from curious, bold and quirky fashion choices, Cher emerged from her Sonny and Cher days as the inventor of the bell-bottom and the square-nail manicure. After years of shocking fans with elaborate ethnic headpieces and sheer bodysuits, Cher began stepping out in more modest, slightly gothic, trends in 2010.
Cher
During the course of his career, Elton John has made every fashion “don’t” into a “do,” whether it's pairing feather boas with oversized glasses or wearing sequined tops under velvet blazers. After signing a three-year contract at Caesars Palace in Vegas, however, Elton’s outfits have, strangely enough, grown more muted…at least, for Elton John.
Elton John
After a three-year period of experimentation, David Bowie stepped out as alter ego Ziggy Stardust in 1972, igniting the androgynous, glam-rock era of fashion and music. Since 2003, Bowie has kept a low profile, all but retiring from music. His fashions, it seems, have also followed suit.
David Bowie
Madonna, ever a fashion icon, has started and ended dozens of trends during her reign as a pop superstar, from black lace gloves and crucifix jewelry to cone bras and high ponytails. These days, her style has grown more modest and glamorous.
Madonna
When pop icon Michael Jackson started his solo career, he still held the boyish good looks of his Jackson 5 days. However, a history of Lupus and Vitiligo—as well as third-degree burns from a pyrotechnics accident—caused Jackson’s physical appearance to alter as drastically as his iconic fashions.
Michael Jackson
Starting his career as a classic country artist in 1989, Brooks’ wardrobe reflected the style of many new country artists. But by the late 90s, Brooks began to downplay his traditional country look to mirror his crossover into the mainstream pop world.
Garth Brooks
Stepping onto the music scene when she was only a teenager, Mariah Carey evolved from a wholesome, girl-next-door into the sultry diva who could nail a triple-high C.
Mariah Carey
Determined to break away from her innocent Disney-star image, Christina Aguilera shocked fans when she emerged for her 2002 Stripped tour sporting a fake tan, cornrows, and a very bare midriff. She gave herself a sophisticated makeover in 2007, however, when she became pregnant with her first child.
Christina Aguilera
Another Disney heartthrob, Justin Timberlake, was eager to step away from his 90s boy band image. With the release of his first solo album in 2003, Timberlake revealed a hipper, sexier image. He not only helped bring back the fedora, but also popularized the sneakers/suit combo.
Justin Timberlake
Stefani, who came from a long line of seamstresses, sewed her own clothes for many of her early performances. When Stefani’s stylist introduced her to couture, the singer transformed her look and launched her own fashion line, L.A.M.B., which is inspired by fashions from Guatemala, Japan and Jamaica.
Gwen Stefani
Before Stefani Germanotta was the Gaga we know and love, she was an aspiring musician from New York who sang in a local band and danced at go-go clubs. As she experimented more and more with burlesque, her fashions became increasingly outrageous. Her Haus of Gaga team now designs and develops her strange, and often controversial, outfits.
