Growing up in the ’90s, one can’t help but remember the tremendous amount of influence Aaliyah wielded. Her tomboy chic, her badass demeanor; Aaliyah has undoubtedly inspired and influenced every female artist in some way.
Her signature side swoop bang, her two-toned ombre hair, her belly chains with a midriff and shades, are just a handful of examples of Aaliyah’s style and influence which was one of a kind, evolving over time and copied day-to-day.
Aaliyah was a diverse and versatile individual who is still greatly missed, not just in the world of music, but fashion and movies as well.
