Photos: Aaliyah's Timeless Style

1. Hollywood Glam Aaliyah often wore her hair swooped over her left eye. The signature look—which thousands of fans copied--gave her a mysterious and mature air far beyond her teenage years. The look was inspired by Veronica Lake, a classic film star and favorite of Aaliyah’s mother.

2. Just a Peek Aaliyah rarely showed skin, but she kept it sexy by showing off her incredible abs. The dancer flashed her toned tummy in tanks, cropped-tops and belly chains.

3. Tomboy Temptress Not every woman is a girly girl... and Aaliyah was definitely more of a tomboy during most of her career. She took a page from the hip-hop style book (think baggy jeans, exposed boxers, bandanas) and incorporated it into her own look. It was no surprise that she became a model for Tommy Hilfiger in the ‘90s.
