Looking to add a rocker edge to your look? Or simply refine your tough-chic aesthetic? You've come to the right place. From Rihanna to Gwen Stefani, Avril Lavigne to Fergie, we've gathered Hollywood's most fashionable rock stars. Our 15 rocker style steps just may inspire you to go for a new 'do, try an adventurous makeup look or invest in a statement handbag.
As every girl knows, hair sets the mood for any look. Taylor Momsen wears her ultra-bleached hair long and straight with thick side-swept bangs, while Daisy Lowe lets her dark bangs fall over her eyes and sweeps the rest of her locks back into a low pony. Queen of glam rock, Gwen Stefani, loves to style her hair in voluminous updos to expose her dramatic makeup.
From bold brights to dramatic blacks, there are different makeup directions you can take to define your rocker aesthetic. Rihanna loves to add a pop of red to draw attention to her lips while Avril Lavigne focuses on accentuating her eyes with dark kohl liner. Androgynous beauty, Agyness Deyn paired her faux-hawk with a soft minty shadow and a bare face to add a unique twist to her edgy style.
No rock star is complete without their ultra-cool shades. Ashley Tisdale wore a pair of hot pink wayfarers with her muscle tee for a trip the gym, while the always glamorous Rihanna wore an ultra-dark pair for her photo shoot. Agyness Deyn donned the popular rounded style for her casual street ensemble.
Hats are a quick and stylish way to make a statement (and hide a bad hair day). From Gwen Stafani's plaid newsboy cap to Lady Gaga's spiked beret or Ashley Simpson's charming bowler, hats are a great way to add edge to any ensemble
A leather jacket is a staple for any wardrobe, but particularly crucial for the rocker girl at heart. The investment piece is not only timeless, it comes in a variety of different styles. Pair a black leather jacket with a hot pink cocktail dress like Daisy Lowe, add it to a casual chic dress like Rachel Bilson or top off a tee and jeans with the effortless addition like Avril Lavigne.
What could possibly replace the LBD as the go-to date night dress in your closet? The little black leather dress! The '80s have officially made a come back and celebs are loving leather in all forms. Check out Rihanna's one-shoulder black leather dress or Nicole Richie's chic sleeveless number. Want to add some spunk to your evening look? Try a dark print design like Kelly Osbourne.
Another gift from the '80s is the leather mini. High-waisted slim-fitting styles made from the tough-chic fabric are back in full force. Who can resist a sexy skin-tight skirt that doesn't even need Spanx? We loved Beyonce and Keri Hilson's studded styles paired with loose blouses, while Blake Lively showed her rocker chops in a bold blue piece
Nothing is a more basic staple to the rock star wardrobe than a loose graphic tee. Avril Lavigne and Beyonce love oversized off-the-shoulder styles, while Liv Tyler made a statement in a Rottweiler t-shirt and sleek blazer.
Leather shorts have been seen on all walks of celebrity. The smoking Rosie Huntington-Whiteley showed off her street style in a pair, while Fergie hit up the red carpet in the sleek style. Fashion favorite Rachel Bilson paired a pair of black leather short shorts with a blousy floral top for an original effect.
Leather leggings have been all the rage on the red carpet over the past year. Luxury of leather with the comfort of a legging? Yes, please! The eclectic Nicole Scherzinger rocked a zippered pair while Miranda Kerr looked enviably chic wearing the style with a white blouse. Fashion chameleon, Elle MacPherson, jumped on the fierce trend and teamed it with a pair of aviator shades and long ombre locks.
Maintaining your rocker aesthetic while going to a glamorous evening event is no easy feat, but we looked to three experts on the matter. Agyness Deyn opted for a sleek black evening gown with bicep-length gloves for her formal occasion. Jessie J wore a strapless leopard print evening dress in a bold hue on the red carpet while Daisy Lowe took some tips from Madonna in a pink satin corset dress in Paris.
A handbag is the perfect way to add some spunk to any ensemble. Sarah Jessica Parker toughened up her purple metallic Prabal Gurung dress with a spiked black clutch. Avril Lavigne carried a classic leather tote in a lime green hue and Agyness Deyn kept her look simple with a black studded hard-case clutch.
As the daughter of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, it's no surprise that Liv has some rock style tricks up her sleeve. We love her platform combat boots that manage to be sweet and edgy at the same time. Avril Lavigne stepped out in lime-accented graphic print peep-toes and Taylor Momsen performed in hard core over-the-knee boots with buckles and studded soles.
That's right, more leather! For a quick way to amp up your rock style, toss on a pair of leather gloves. From Kim Kardashian to Kesha and Dita Von Teese, the versatile accessory can suit anyone's aesthetic.
For a finishing touch, studded jewelry is another element of classic rock style. Try a spiked choker necklace like Lady Gaga, or accessorize your wrists with the killer aesthetic like Taylor Momsen and Fergie
