What female rock/pop/country/etc star would you dress as?

[Krististeph]

Looking at the recent thread "What's your favorite gender bending themed music or band/s?" I remembered a question i wanted to post:



What female rock/pop/country/etc. star would you want to dress (and perhaps karioke) as? Which look or outfit?



For the sake of argument- let's say it has to be a performed from no farther back than 1970 or so.


I'll start with a few- but honestly, there are so many...


Lene Nystrom of Aqua in "Around the world"- her white suit; Lene in any outfit from the "pretty young thing" video



Katy Perry (or any of her friends) in "California Girls"



Lilli Allen in "Alfie"


Jane Weidlin in almost anything.


Also- I wanna be a "Donna" in the band 'the Donnas"....


Well, how about you?.... :dom::doll:

[Jacqueline Winona]

Katy Perry is a great choice! But I'll pick one that's a little out of left field- Belinda Carlisle.

[Marleena]

I like Amy Lee for the rocker side. http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx190/coolgirl97/Amy%20Lee%20Photoshoots/5372f9b8.jpg

[Krististeph]

oh HELLA yes! love the short taffeta petticoated skirts!

I'm crazy about Louise Post and Nina Gordon from their Veruca Salt days, the Volcano Girls video was awesome- sexy-sweet-sensual in the sheets... <sigh>

[Marleena]

Veruca Salt, yes! Good memories.:)

[taís]

nothing too fancy... but I always had a thing for Kim Gordon's style.
(I could say something Harajuku-inspired or gothic like early Tarja Turunen/Nightwish too. but I probably wouldn't be able to do it :x)

[Michelle Crossfire]

I would think something along the lines of Pat Benatar. She rocks. And anyone in the original lineup of Vixen.

[Brittany CD]

Adele! She's not a Barbie doll, but I love that about her. She's very beautiful and I would love to dress as her

[5150 Girl]

Lita Ford, or maybe Heart. Joan Jett would be cool to do to...

[Ava Tryptyk]

Tiffany Darwish when she had her '80s look. In general, I'd like to try dressing up as lots of different female 80s pop stars...their outfits just look so fun!

[Costume]

Mariah Carey! I'm not all that partial to her music and there's no way I could impersonate her voice, but if it meant trying on some of those incredible gowns from over the years, I'd be willing to give it a go!

[Shari]

Faith Hill in her hot pants and high heeled pumps.
I could introduce you all to Sunday night football.

[Dawna Ellen Bays]

oh HELLA yes! love the short taffeta petticoated skirts!

I'm crazy about Louise Post and Nina Gordon from their Veruca Salt days, the Volcano Girls video was awesome- sexy-sweet-sensual in the sheets... <sigh>

LOVED Veruca Salt! They were AMAZING live!

As for Adele, I worship her eye makeup...

[prettytoes]

I would have to go with Carrie Underwood. When we saw her in concert, she change outfits several times...I was jelous of every one! All were beautiful and very feminine; showing off every awesome curve!

[alexmarie]

Deffently as Hillary Scott

[Beverley Sims]

.................Blondie..............

[suchacutie]

My namesake: Tina Turner!

[Marcyme]

I'll second Adale! Just love her.
Gwen Stefani is always awesome.
Amanda Palmer, Natalie Merchant, Alison Krauss, Amy Lee, Amy Mann, there are just so many!!

[joank]

From my era~Petula Clark. (Sorry about the name spelling.)

[Sandy Banks]

Katy Perry and Madonna because they have so many different looks, I'd ideally like to be many different people........................:daydreaming:

[StevieTV]

Easy...Carrie Underwood singing "Cowboy Casandova"

[franlee]

Either Reba McIntire or Barbra Mandrel all the way from the start of their stardom untill present. They not only had the Star look but have the real woman look off the stage.

[Hippoeater]

Easily Taylor Swift!

[erin_nicole0112]

Today definitely Carrie Underwood. When I was young I loved seeing Tanya Tucker. She seemed so sexy and she had a thing for mini skirts, pantyhose and high heels which I love.

[danielletorresani]

Definitely Katy Perry.

[Farrah Rose]

emma watson hands down, she has a very classy and elegant look

[Miss Mandy]

Lana Del Rey...what a doll :)

[Pinky188]

Siouxsie Sioux!!!!!! From Siouxsie & The Banshees! She is beautiful!!!

[Pinky188]

http://youtu.be/6I3S8lPM6qM

[crissie cd]

Any girl from a famous rock band GO-GO's, Bangles and Deborah Harry
mini-skirts, great make up, hair and high heels with a Rickenbacker guitar

[AussiegirlCD]

Tough call, so many lovely ladies to choose from, but I guess if I could pull off weariing gold hot pants as well as Kylie Minogue, I'd be pretty stoked. Gotta support another Aussie girl I guess, and even though I don't listen to her music, I don't mind it, I worked as an assistant stage hand on one of her shows in Sydney a few years ago, and was totally blown away with her talent, professionalism and of course her beauty.

[tiffanyjo89]

Rock: Hayley Williams of Paramore. Just cause I think she's awesome...

Country: either Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, or mid-late 90s Shania Twain.

[Crystal77]

Pop - Katy Perry

Country - Taylor Swift

[rachelgirlnw1]

Emily Haines. Yes please!

[Krististeph]

Rock: Hayley Williams of Paramore. Just cause I think she's awesome...

Country: either Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, or mid-late 90s Shania Twain.

Shania Twain: only country artist i ever bought a cd of... she's a doll. Hayley? No words...

[Dani Alana Taylor]

Easily Taylor Swift all the way but even a question about it haha

[Dawna Ellen Bays]

Krististeph: Who is the girl in the camouflage corset in your Hayley collage? I know it's someone in a band I like, and I've seen that picture before, but I just can't place her because of the angle. Is it Tarja?

For me, it's Simone Simons from Epica, the most beautiful woman to ever grace music...

174996174993174994174995

[wanagione]

If I was a rock star, It too would be Amy Lee !

[Erina]

Angela Gossow of Arch Enemy is great, I´m a fan of metal. There are many cool girls of metal but Angela dress in the greatest death metal fashion I´ve seen. I am searching for clothes at nuclearblast.de, going to get a pair of girl jeans and rip them as much as I can.
Seem like only a few here share this taste of music thou?

[Marleena]

For Pop Music: Britney Spears (I'll take some heat for this).

[tiffanyjo89]

Hey, Britney Spears is incredibly attractive, she's just made some really bad decisions in her life that were left in the public eye.

But I don't think you have a chance at making a better Britney than Derrick Barry...

[Ally 2112]

Gwen stefani and katie perry i love their style !and i want 1 of everthing they own. Opps pink fog alert

[Marleena]

Holy crap that is uncanny! I could only wish to look that good! *sigh*.

[jennacda2]

Madonna would probably be at the top of the list for me. I'm sooo excited for her new album. And she does have a very broad range of looks that work for her, which is one of the things I love about her.

[Dixie]

Two extremes for me, lol, Lita Ford or Stevie Nicks (sigh)

[Sheren Kelly]

It depends upon my feelings at the time. When i was doing long distance running, I daydreamed the miles away with images of singing in the style of Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac. When I really need to get moving, I would think of Nancy Wilson of Heart (but I guess i am dating myself here).

After seeing Florence & the Machine perform on SNL, I am currently impressed with her style.

[Bobbie S]

Minnie Pearl.
Who remembers her?

[Being Paige]

Either Katy Perry or Taylor Swift. I'm sure I can think of a few more!

[Cindia]

After seeing Florence & the Machine perform on SNL, I am currently impressed with her style.

I was also taken by Florence in that performance, especially after I found out she is near to 6 foot tall. Being 6'3" my self, it's great to see a sexy tall girl.

But I still have to say Shirley Manson from earlier Garbage, when her hair was red and not the short blonde flat top style.
Especially the Stupid Girl video. I'd put up a link, but can't do that from work. I know it can be seen on You Tube.

[Cindia]

For Pop Music: Britney Spears (I'll take some heat for this).

Going by looks and style alone, especially earlier career, you wont get much flak. And the sexy school girl bit in the One More Time video....

[KendraCD2012]

i'm actually thinking Taylor Swift, Amy Lee, Miley Cyrus, and a few others posted here on that i'd like to dress like.

[Sister Rachel]

Debbie Harry springs to mind :)

[Secret_Dresser]

To who ever said Amy Lee and/or Simone Simons, you have earned my love and respect. Even just by reading the title I knew those two would have been mentioned.

Oddly I didn't see Lady Gaga mentioned(I skimmed this thread tbh). She has a "unique" dress sence but some of it still kind of sexy even though I personally dislike her music.

[brittdoll]

Old School: Dolly Parton
Recent School: Shania Twain
New School: Pink, Pink, Pink (Oh, did I say Pink?)

[tiffanyjo89]

Miley Cyrus

Oooh...I forgot about her...

I really can't stand her as a person, but she has a decent amount of talent...and I can think of plenty more female pop stars than her that are more terrible people to emulate.

[Lori31]

For Pop Music: Britney Spears (I'll take some heat for this).

You won't get heat from me. That would be my choice hands down.

[Eva_nine]

cheryl crow or possibly gwen stefani but i would like to be lady gaga for halloween

[JustineFallow]

I've been impressed with many female musicians and their different looks over the years, but if I can only pick one particular outfit from one specific woman, it's this one:

http://img2-1.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/050831/101027__madonna_l.jpg

This was at the 1984 MTV Awards. White stockings with garters, heels, teased hair and all that lace. :daydreaming: I still hold plenty of affection for her, but this was the moment that made me fall in full-on teen boy lust.

[daviolin]

Ok, heres my list.
Country, Patti Loveless. The perfect down home country girl.
Rock, Pat Benatar. A voice as pretty as she is.
Country, Martina McBride, The most beautiful eyes, Makes me melt.
Rock, Debbie Harry, Just to darn sexy.
Oh I could go on and on. These are my favorites. Daviolin

[Erica Marie]

Two that I could think of would be Taylor Swift, I love the cute outfits she always has and that long curly hair I would die to have. Next would be Katy Perry. She has such a free spirit with her outfits and she is very pretty and always smiling.

[Dawna Ellen Bays]

To who ever said Amy Lee and/or Simone Simons, you have earned my love and respect. Even just by reading the title I knew those two would have been mentioned.

I couldn't resist...I find Simone scathingly beautiful...new Epica CD in two weeks, BTW, which means lots of new Simone photo shoots for me to envy (and drool over)...

[NikkiW1971]

Even though it's been said, definitely Shania Twain. Specifically in the ”man I feel like a woman". Video. Yellow catsuit, men's tuxedo jacket with black stockings and boots. Long raven hair, flawless makeup, feminine perfection.

[ArleneRaquel]

Madonna, naturally. I could be her twin. Except I wear glasses. :heehee: I'd wear leather and show a lot of leg.

[jaye_cd]

I find myself frequently influenced and enchanted by Shirley Manson, Amy Lee, Cristina Scabbia, and kaRIN.

[Princess Chantal]

I'd like to do the 1960's to early 80's Grand Ole Opry styles of Loretta Lynn, Minnie Pearl, Tammy Wynette, Kitty Wells, Dolly Parton, June Carter and Dottie West

[PrettyFlowingGown]

Alot of dresses/gowns I'd wear to a costume party. Love the long red latin gown Madonna wears in "La Isla Bonita", would go as Madonna.
Kylie Minogue, always loved her red frilly dress in "Locomotion".
Shania Twain, love her long blue skirt she wore for the "Come on over" promos.
Stevie Nicks, love alot of her long dresses.

[RileyEvans]

My choice is Cristina Scabbia, she has amazing style in my eyes.

[Dawna Ellen Bays]

My choice is Cristina Scabbia, she has amazing style in my eyes.

And an amazing voice and stage presence, too! :)

[veronica52]

Carrie Underwood, beautiful short dresses and highheels.

[Danille]

Mariah Carey or Janet Jackson for me. They both just oze sex appeal. To be that good looking and be able to attract the best looking men to my bed does it for me.

[Leslie Langford]

Holy crap that is uncanny! I could only wish to look that good! *sigh*.

Marleena,

Derrick Barry appeared on America's Got Talent about 3 seasons ago and put on an amazing performance as Britney. If memory serves me correctly, he actually made it to the 3rd round and the audience and Sharon Osborne and David Hasselhoff absolutely loved him. He struggled a bit with copying Britney's voice but had the looks and the moves down pat - so much so that he was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Sadly, Piers Morgan crapped all over him, exhibiting a considerable degree of not-so-subtle transphobia and homophobia in the process. Hard to say if this reflected Piers' own views, or was just a staged "good cop, bad cop" routine to stir the pot a bit and drive up the ratings for the show. Personally, I found his snide remarks very distasteful, especially since Derrick excelled so well at his artistry, and this was far from being a second-rate drag routine.

If you're interested, log onto youtube and type in Derrick's name. You'll find a number of videos of him performing as Britney, as well as out-takes from the show itself that amply demonstrate his superb female impersonation skills. He actually worked as a member of Frank Marino's An Evening at La Cage revue in Las Vegas at one point as well.

And while we're on the topic, check out our own home-grown version of AGT which is called Canada's Got Talent here, and is broadcast on the CityTV network. It began airing last week, and the second show featured a terrific Calgary female impersonator by the name of Terri Stevens, who apparently has done drag for a number of years now. He was just voted through to the next round, and I can't wait to see him perform again.

[Nicola]

Maja Ivarsson, from the band "The Sounds" - especialy if I got to wear the black dress she is wearing in the video "painted by numbers".

Nicola

[Leslie Langford]

I love the hippie-inspired flowing dresses paired with killer boots that Stevie Nicks use to wear while performing with Fleetwood Mac.

[MonicaTC]

@Leslie, thank you for putting Stevie up there. I'm in complete agreement, Stevie style for me.

[britney]

for me the ultimate is Britney Spears in the baby one more time video. Wanting to look like that is part of the reason i chose my name and everything. It is my ultimate dream to be able to pull that off.

[Dawna Ellen Bays]

To who ever said Amy Lee and/or Simone Simons, you have earned my love and respect. Even just by reading the title I knew those two would have been mentioned.


I wouldn't mind wearing this outfit (minus the black...whatever that is) from Epica's new video (this is Simone Simons for the most of you who don't know who Epica are):

[Diane Elizabeth]

Nancy Wilson of Heart or the girls from ABBA would be my pick.

[Stephanie8]

definitely Katie Perry

[Marleena]

Oh okay I missed this post earlier Leslie. He (Derrick) is impressive, thanks! I'll look Terri up too.

[Vickii*]

katy perry or lady gaga would be fun but katy would be my favorite:)

[Ari333]

beyonce, the girl moves in heels like a stripper! love her hair, make-up, outfits and oh those high heels!

[StacyPump]

Easy...Carrie Underwood singing "Cowboy Casandova"


Yeeeeees! I just saw the Cassanova Cowboy video, and wow, which one of us would NOT want to be Carrie OR any of those background singers!!
