British musician FKA Twigs became a paparazzi princess when she began her relationship with Robert Pattinson back in 2014. But now she's created a buzz in the beauty world, as well. We've come to expect FKA (can we call her FKA? First name FKA, last name Twigs?) to sport inventive hair and makeup looks. Her natural waves, bold brows, freckles, and signature baby hairs make for gorgeous lewks. And she has a flair for the dramatic when it comes to lipstick (and fashion). Her beauty style definitely pulls inspiration from the '90s era with both grunge and hip-hop references. We can just imagine her showing off images of TLC and Courtney Love to her makeup and hair team before every red carpet. See all of her most inspiring beauty moments when you keep reading.
March 2015
FKA Twigs could probably have taken flight with this outfit, but her red lipstick matched the feathers to a T. Her fringe (aka baby hair) was slicked down into curlicue designs.
January 2015
As far as out-of-the-box beauty goes, FKA Twigs has a corner on the market. She wore stenciled drawings (which she described as "war paint") as makeup and a slicked-back updo. The look was inspired by a '90s runway look from John Galliano.
February 2015
This half-up, half-down style was the best thing to hit the Brit Awards red carpet. The look put her bold brows and natural freckles on display.
December 2014
FKA Twigs's maze-like plaits are way beyond your average cornrows. This ear-like design is her go-to style for the red carpet.
November 2014
It's clear Zendaya got her inspiration for faux dreadlocks from FKA. The performer often wears her naturally curly hair twisted in coils to perform on stage.
October 2014
Not everyone can pull off almost-black lipstick (trust us, we tried it). However, FKA Twigs does it with style, proving that she is the coolest woman in the room once again.
September 2014
There are so many Rick James jokes we could make . . . While her beaded hairstyle was channeling the famed '80s "Super Freak" singer, FKA Twigs's makeup was heavy on the highlighter and topped off with a bold red lip.
July 2014
Flashback to the '90s. FKA Twigs's onstage style calls to mind our favorite R&B era, girl-power groups like TLC. This burgundy pigtail and baby-hair combination is especially grunge.
