Singers become popular for their vocal abilities, and it is this talent that puts them in the spotlight. Most singers become icon not only for their singing abilities however, but for the person they are. This includes the way they dress, and quite often, singers feature in magazines and on television programmes more frequently for their 'look' as opposed to their talent.
Having emerged in the 1980's, Madonna is one of the most stylish singers of the last decade as well. Madonna's look has changed dramatically from each album cover, year to year. Her ability to continually re-invent herself has meant fans have copied her look since she made it as an artist. In the last decade, Madonna has proved that she is still a fashion icon by making a re-appearance. Her new look impressed the nation; a forty year dressed in a leotard. The media and her fans were dazzled by her great body shape and her ability to keep so toned in spite of her age and having had a child.
Lady Gaga took the world by storm when she emerged with her Number 1 single, 'Just Dance'. Her music became more and more popular, and with this popularity her fashion choices grew and expanded. Lady Gaga has been likened to Madonna for her outrageous outfits, which have included wearing a real telephone on her head and a dress made of meat. Despite her bizarre fashion choices, she is usually praised for her quirkiness and remains popular for being so different to her peers.
Another singer who has been praised but duped for her fashion sense is Christina Aguilera. From when she entered the world of pop emergence with blonde hair and a sweet-looking girl-next-door style of dress, she has changed her look dramatically. Transformations have included sporting dirty blonde extensions with very little clothing through to teaming the elegant style of the 1920's with glamorous curly hair.
Singers continue to feature in the media for reasons other than their music, and this is because the media in this day and age is so intrusive. Although a musicians talent should be about the music, fans still find it interesting to watch a singer as their style changes and adapts.
