14 Women Who Have Always Been Rock Chicks
The list of celebrities who have been through a rock-chick style phase is long, but for many women, this style is a lifetime fashion project. True rockers never stray far from their leather-clad roots, staying true to a signature style that serves them well no matter what decade they're going into. Think of Debbie Harry, Joan Jett, Siouxsie Sioux—these are all women who have never faltered when it came to ignoring the trends and remaining faithful to their favourite choppy haircuts, smudgy makeup and swathes of black.
