We are not only big fans of her singing and songwriting, but we love Annie Lennox’s style choices, too.
Lennox was described as “The Greatest White Soul Singer Alive” by one music publication, and named one of “The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time” by US rock magazine Rolling Stone.
With a total of eight Brit Awards, including winning Best British Female Artist six times, Lennox has won more Brits than any other female artist and has sold upwards of 80 million records, yet she seems to be more interested in political activism and philanthropy than in her appearance or in rocking a designer frock.
Here is a celebrity, who rejects the conventional paradigm of celebrity glamour (i.e. big hair, tiny frock, lashings of lashes).
Now 61, she clearly knows that an androgynous look works best for her and she works a masculine vibe which looks brilliant with that fabulous cropped hair-do. It is currently a very on-trend look, too, though Lennox has been dressing that way forever, and seems unlikely to stop.
Indeed, if you look at these two pictures, you can see how the tailored black trouser suit plays into that mannish vibe and therefore looks amazing, while the shiny silver frocks makes it appear that a stylist was trying to give Lennox a “new” look. She looks unhappy and uncomfortable in the silver frock but, ironically, looks feminine and sexy in the “androgynous” trouser suit.
Steal her style by staying true to your clothing personality…and, of course, having a really great haircut and careful maquillage because aged over-50 we can all do with a bit of colour and contouring.
By the way, do keep in mind that although Lennox’s trouser-suit is black, androgyny doesn’t have to be black; there are other options. It’s all about keeping your look uncluttered, slick and sleek. Also, we would shorten those sleeves a touch – that, or roll them up (which creates the illusion of longer legs, yes, legs).
