The Indie 25: The Look of Cool-Girl Musicians

June 4, 2008

Perfectly polished pop stars are nice in their own way, but there's something really amazing about a woman playing a guitar while singing her own song. I've rounded up 25 of the coolest women musicians to show off their style — which should be easy to recreate at home, since they're not traveling with a beauty entourage. Read on and see some not-so-mainstream beauty icons, and be sure to let me know if I've missed one of your favorites.

I loved it too. The best post on this network ever. Hands down. I would have liked to see Jolie Holland though, although there were a few names here that I haven't seen before. Time to brush up on the music knowledge. Thanks Bella.

I so love this post!! I agree with Francoise, it's so nice to see these ladies featured instead of Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, etc. They all have looks that are much more unique and inspired.

I love this slideshow! It features a lot of people who I actually listen to and who I prefer over over polished and over made up pop princesses. Jenny Lewis, Feist, Natasha Khan (Bat For Lashes) and Cat Power are more of beauty icons to me than whoever is popular in the pop charts these days (Can't say I would be familiar with who that actually includes). If we went old school with this, it would be fun to see people like Francoise Hardy (who I'm obviously familiar with considering my name), Jane Birkin and Marianne Faithfull.
