How to look like a rockstar


It’s all about being different and creating drama. Putting the punk-rock vibe into your outfit and over-all look doesn’t have to involve piercings (ouch!), wearing an all-black outfit all day every day, and covering your body with tattoos.

If you want to do a 180 turn and get your rock on, here’s how to do it:

Try new things with your hair. How about a layered cut? Or even a pixie cut? The main point of being a rockstar is expressing yourself. If you always wanted to change your ‘do, but never had the courage before to go through with it, now is the time! Head to your stylist and snip, snip, snip!

Hunt through your closet for clothes that you haven’t worn in a long time. If they don’t fit anymore, toss them. But if they still do, figure out how to re-do them so you’ll want to wear them again. Will one t-shirt look better without the sleeves? Cut them out. Will you like a white frilly top better if it were pink? Dye it magenta!

The rockstar look is all about DIY and individualism. Put your personal stamp on everything you wear.

Accessorize. According to our rockstar guru Evan Rachel Wood, nothing makes her feel stronger than having wrists full of bracelets. If arm candy isn’t your thing, though, you can try earrings, toe rings, nose rings (yes, you can!).

Let your unique self shine through. When you accept that you are beautiful and unique, you adopt the rockstar attitude. Just be yourself, make sure you're comfortable with your look, and you'll soar.

Get your makeup right. Red lips, we think, are the key. We asked a makeup artist to show us exactly how to get the rockstar makeup right. Check out the video below to find out.
