David Bowie Known as the “musical chameleon,” David Bowie, born as David Robert Jones, had his first hit with “Space Oddity” in 1969. As Bowie’s popularity increased, so did his dynamic style. In 1972, Bowie released “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust from Mars, more well known as Ziggy Stardust,” which is considered his breakthrough album and launched him into stardom. One of Bowie’s most memorable looks was his Aladdin Sane album cover. The red lightning bolt across his eye is now a permanent reminder of his rockstar adaptations. For Bowie, clothes were a tool of self-expression, which soon led him to change his style more than any other musician in history. From “Ziggy,” the “Thin White Duke” and “Aladdin Sane,” Bowie’s transformations embodied his creativity and self-invention. Selena Quintanilla Selena, born as Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, was one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the late 20th century. In 1992, Selena released “Entre a Mi Mundo,” which was number one on the U.S. Billboard Regional Mexican Albums chart for eight consecutive months. Originally criticized in the male dominated genre of Tejano music, she soon became critically acclaimed for “Amor Prohibido,” one of the best-selling Latin albums in the United States. As Selena’s popularity increased, so did her sex appeal. Known as the “Mexican Madonna,” she infused Spanish styles with modern American trends. 21 years after her death, her bedazzled bralettes and shimmering one-pieces are still affiliated with her lasting legacy.
