Female rockers in the music industry often reinvent themselves. They focus on new sounds, new experiences, and of course…new fashion styles. It’s exciting to see how familiar artists grow and change as the years pass, while still delivering hit albums and evolving their personal style. This month’s Guitar Girl Magazine Fashion Icon has a growing fan base filled with loyal listeners and budding followers across generations. Upon the release of a new album, Havoc and Bright Lights, Alanis Morissette is on the scene once again, proving music and fashion only get better with time.
Morissette has an impressive resume that catalogs much more than music. In fact, this Canadian born singer-songwriter is not only an accomplished guitarist and record producer, but an actress as well. She has celebrated a plethora of recognitions, including seven Grammy Awards and two Golden Globe nominations. Now on her eighth studio album, this Canada native shows no sign of stopping. Throughout her career, Morissette has exemplified her personal style, ranging from 90’s grunge to elegant glamour, while still maintaining true to her rocker roots.
’90s Style:
Alanis Morissette in the ’90s made leather pants, oversized men’s button downs, and extra-long wavy locks cutting edge. She sold millions of copies worldwide and graced the cover of multiple magazines. To imitate her rocker grunge style today, pull on a pair of sleek black leggings and your favorite flowing blouse. It’s the perfect way to showcase ’90s persona that’s current and chic.
Current Style:
Morissette’s 2012 fashion sense is still easy-going and relaxed but with a polished edge. She favors jeans and leather jackets, layered with simple tees and cozy cardigans. Mimic her looks by keeping colors neutral but adding interest with pops of red, essential messenger bags, or sparkling belts
Events:
Black hues are Morissettes go-to when it comes to events. She utilizes innovative silhouettes with sexy sheer paneling, plunging necklines, or killer boots. Trendy clutches and minimal jewelry keep her red carpet style sophisticated and timeless.
Performances:
This female rocker sports similar style on stage as well. She keeps it easy, continuing with sheer blouses, earth tones, and her favorite guitar. Morissette is also recognized for pioneering menswear trends, donning fitted vests and tailored trousers.
Alanis Morissette has dazzled us for years with iconic tunes, her mezzo-soprano voice, and a signature fashion sense. Grab some of these closet staples and recreate your favorite rocker girl look.
