I could possibly be alone in my opinion, but I feel as though I’ve noticed open references to Aaliyah, her music and her style more than ever these days. Blame it on Drizzy Drake and his Stan-like I’m-bringing-Baby-Girl-back-to-life-whether-you-like-it-or-not campaign, but everywhere we turn, there’s a style spread or a make-up tutorial to tell you how to look exactly like the late singer. Add to that the actual singers dressing and acting like her in their videos and you’ll notice what I’m saying. I’m not saying I didn’t love me some Aaliyah, and some people actually do her legacy some justice with their tributes from time to time, but most folks know they need to quit while they’re ahead. We have both types of examples to show you in this slideshow. Keep on a-clickin’.

    is it that they want to look like AAliyah or is it that thier stylists are that unimaginative?

  • medammit!

    how bout taking it back to where aaliyah coped her style…believe it came from somewhere long before…

    Okay I don’t really like people imitating Marilyn Monroe either because it always turns into a disrespectful thing in my eyes, same with Michael Jackson. Sometimes, the greats’ work should be left untouched. @FabienneDesrameaux:disqus
    Also, the BIGGEST person who tries to steal Aaliyah’s style was not listed in this!! And that person is Beyonce. If you look at all her modeling work and even her videos, you will see something that Aaliyah once did. (Minus all the illuminati stuff)

  • Yes I DID

    WHO ELSE COULD THEY BE??? “ORIGINAL” where would these artist be if they werent trying to look sound like somebody else….”Attack of the Clones”

  • IllyPhilly

    This was a reaching a$$ list.

    You totally missed off the female rapper from The X Factor USA, she was one third of Lyric 145. She has a really similar style of dressing as Aaliyah, she’s got the straight dark hair and facially there’s some resemblance.
