Dubbed the “It” girl of the 2000s, Ashanti effortlessly made way for R&B singers to show off their personal style through their music. Taking cues from style icons Aaliyah and Beyoncé, this New York-born singer created a timeless and chic arsenal. She often gravitates towards dramatic ballgowns, form-fitting bodysuits, flowy tops and trendy denim from brands like Mugler, Christian Siriano and Burberry. As for footwear, she frequently looks to designers, including Stuart Weitzman, Tom Ford and Jessica Rich. Not to mention she loves a good pair of over-the-knee boots and strappy sandals.
