Janis Joplin’s Coolest Style Moments
Dubbed the first queen of rock ’n’ roll, Texas-born singer and songwriter Janis Joplin has been one of the most recognizable female icons of the ‘60s thanks to her extraordinary voice and charismatic personality. Her songs have withstood the test of time and her music has paved the way for numerous women in rock. As part of the legendary 27 Club—a list consisting mostly of popular artists, musicians, and actors who died at age 27 among whom you can find Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse—she is remembered for her rebellious lifestyle and heavy drug use during the hippie era, but her eccentric and bohemian fashion sense is no less notable. Always adorned with lots of jewelry, bright colors, and beautiful fabrics, L’OFFICIEL remembers Joplin’s most stylish moments on what would have been the rock star’s 79th birthday.
