Remembering Aaliyah: 4 Style Lessons She Taught Me

 As many of you may know, today is the 10 year anniversary since R&B superstar (and one of my favorite childhood artists) Aaliyah was tragically taken from this earth. As websites and magazines and celebrity friends pay tribute to the R&B legend, I've decided to share with you all my personal tribute. For as much as she's given the music industry in terms of being one of the greatest artists of her time, she's also taught us alot about personal style and effortless chic. Here are four style lessons straight from the late, great Aaliyah:

Style Icon: Aaliyah's Legacy

As today marks the 8 year anniversary of Aaliyah's tragic death, people across the nation are paying tribute to the fallen songstress. My tribute to her this year is a salute to her style, her fashion & the strong statement she left for all to remember. She was truly "More than a Woman"...

Aaliyah was one of the first divas to master the art of "Tomboy" glamour. One of the only artists I know that could pull off looking absolutely stunning in baggy jeans and a cropped top:

As far as beauty is concerned, she was the ultimate advocate for the side-swooped bangs! You know you all begged your mamas to let you wear the side-swooped bangs. And when you finally got 'em, you could only see out of one eye for the whole day, but you looked cute!!


Aaliyah was rarely caught in public without a firey red or deep mahoganey lip. She truly mastered the deep colored lip look...

We miss you Aaliyah...R.I.P.
