While an outlandish outfit may catch you off guard, style inspiration rarely strikes in the realm of ordinary.
For
our fearless style icons that have created their reputation from their
keen eye and bold fashion, ordinary isn't an option.
They stun every
time, no matter what. Sure, they have the best stylists at their side,
but the fear of doing too much or not enough never goes away. To hold
their style status, celebs like Solange have to the walk the fine line, having faith that their taste is more than enough. While you may not initially understand Lady Gaga's meat dress or Rihanna's abstract Met Gala gown, these are the looks that take over the internet and inspire fashion lovers worldwide.
If
you've succumbed to the ways of fashion revolutionaries, look no
further. Check out eight celebrities who break fashion rules in the
right ways.
Beware: You may start wearing 10-inch
heels, glitter or feathers after beholding these unconventional
looks. They may seem hard to recreate at first, but you can adapt style
tips here and there from each starlet and add some spice to your daily
wardrobe.

Rowan Blanchard
This gen-Z actress has become such a fashion icon in
such a short amount of time. There's a reason she was a VIP at the
Chanel couture show earlier this year. Fashion moguls, like
Karl Lagerfeld, know that this Disney starlet can rock tweed suits, colonial frocks and puffy-sleeved crop tops alike.

Couture Canary
Solange's canary-yellow threads at the 2016 Met Gala are
a reflection of her unique sense of style. The accordion pleating
of her skirt and fan-like top contrast her tight leggings of the same
color. Knowles knows how to play with dimensions both in the recording
studio and dressing room.

Nicole Kidman
Besides being an acting chameleon who can go from
Grace Kelly
to Civil War matriarch, Martha Farnsworth, Nicole is not afraid to
experiment with her wardrobe. The award-winning actress embodies
a fashion-forward Southern belle who time travels on occasion, in
multi-patterned floor-length finery or sequined silhouettes that
practically bewitch a crowd.

Glamorous in Green
Birds of a feather flock together, because both Nicole
Kidman and FKA Twigs look to exotic-winged creatures for their red
carpet looks. The sleeves of Kidman's Gucci green dress reflect the
feathers of a peacock tied in with a glamorous plunge-neck, green
metallic gown.

FKA Twigs
FKA Twig's siren-like songs may have drawn us all in.
Yet, it's her knack for unorthodox dressing that is hypnotizing. The
star dominates the carpet with celestial looks like a Christopher Kane
dress covered in hands or bohemian jewelry that contrasts a delicate,
flowy gown.

Style that Soars
FKA Twigs' feathery threads definitely fly with us. The layers of rainbow feathers are reminiscent of an exotic bird
, but
we say that in the best way possible. No one else would be able to pull
this look off, space buns and statement lip included.

Rihanna
We found Rihanna's style in a hopeless place. It's no
surprise that the singing sensation frequents the best dressed list. She
can seamlessly transform from neon grunge to a princess in a ball gown.
And each time she does it, Rihanna makes the style her own, adding
exotic features and funky accessories like a bold berry lip.

Flower Power
When a party has a theme, you can always count on
Rihanna to stick to it. The good girl gone bad looks nothing but good in
an ensemble fresh off the Commes des Garcons AW 17 runway. The 2017 Met
Gala may have not been ready for the singer's layers and layers of
three-dimensional flowers that formed into a dress, but they sure
weren't surprised.

Katy Perry
You change your mind, like Katy Perry changes her
clothes—and her hair for that matter. The singer's hair may go from a
mid-length blue to a platinum pixie cut, but one thing remains
consistent about her aesthetic: There's no such thing as too much
sparkle. Whether on the red carpet, on stage or the street, Katy Perry
is as luminous as a firework.

Rosy and Regal
The pop sensation lit up the 2017 Grammy red carpet in a
shimmery Tom Ford dress of a pink champagne hue. Her metallic rose gold
turtleneck was complemented by a feather pink skirt that no doubt went
"Swish, Swish" on the red carpet.

Celine Dion
Celine's style is like fine wine: It gets better with
time. The French Canadian singer has always been known for love ballads
that stand the test of time—"It's All Coming Back To Me," anyone? Her
runway worthy wardrobe mixed with everyday wear has put her on the map
in the fashion world, as well. And with Law Roach as her new stylist
(who she shares with
Zendaya), it's clear that "A New Day Has Come" in Dion's dress.

Vogue in Versace
We can't help but "Surrender" to Celine's Dion's edgy
chic Versace gown at the 2017 Met Gala. The high-low black skirt paired
with a matching top and tulle headdress are the definition of fashion as
art.

Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga's musical numbers are theatrical to say the
least, but her ever-evolving personas tend to follow her off stage. From
the fro-headed jazz goddess that is
Tony Bennett's
other half, to the glam cowgirl Joanne, Gaga is an artist through and
through. And if that's not enough of a reason to follow her wardrobe,
then at least admire her for sticking it out in 10-inch heels.

High Steaks
Style icons like Gaga are rare. Mother Monster takes the
2010 MTV Video Music Awards stage in head-to-toe cuts fresh from the
butcher. You can't get more of a rule-breaker than that.
