Melanie Martinez debuted her music box meets bad dream pop sound a few years ago and immediately made an impression on the alternative scene. With a new album and tour planned for this autumn, now is not the time to take your eyes off this rising star. The singer-songwriter is also a photographer and multi-talented artist with a standout personal style. From her multicolored hair to her stocking-covered toes, Melanie Martinez has a fashion sense as quirky cool as her music, and we absolutely love it!
Starting from the top, Melanie has a hairstyle that makes for a strong first impression, no matter what she wears. That two toned, center-parted bob featuring blondes, blacks, and crazy candy colors with chopped short straight bangs is her cutesy-meets-crazy signature. Topped with large hair bows and fun flower crowns, she is like a doll pulled off the shelf in a strange punk rock doll shop.
Makeup can be edgy, cutesy, 80s, or simple and Melanie Martinez is always playful as she alternates between dark dramatic makeup and colorful, smoky eyes. She uses pops of bright lip color like a child plays with shades of a crayon box. She rocks big fake eyelashes, pink Korean-inspired doll lips, and even stick-on face gems. She is one of the few female musicians out there who doesn’t succumb to bland trends in beauty, music, or fashion.
Creepy meets cutesy, kinky accessories often polish off Melanie’s looks on stage. Collars, chokers, cartoon inspiration, and even jewelry made from doll parts are weird but show the unique creativity Melanie embodies. Blending materials like faux fur with hardware accessories and garters is soft meets dark, just like her music.
There is no reason you can’t be girly and punk rock in comfy, feminine clothes like Melanie Martinez rocks. Her vintage babydoll dresses, pleated skater skirts, and lace leotards give off a cool girl image that is still a little naughty. She mixes Peter Pan collars and petticoats, pastel colors and black. She mixes patterns like hearts and teardrops and embraces fabrics like tulle and gossamer alongside studs and chains, often standing out from the musicians she plays alongside.
Melanie’s look is often accessorized with hosiery, dolly socks, thigh highs, and tights. Her head-to-toe style ends with punk rock shoes like creepers and Mary Janes. With her new album approaching, we are stoked to see what looks she will debut. Her album is sure to come with videos showcasing her ultra-feminine meets spooky, cool-girl style, and we can’t wait to see what looks Melanie Martinez showcases next.
