LADY GAGA
Gaga makes bold fashion statements on a regular basis, and whether she’s wearing a plastic bubble or a dress made out of meat, people are always talking about her next move. She is exceptionally outspoken about issues that are going on in the world, and is not afraid to comment on certain state laws and government actions. Her upcoming album, Born This Way, is sure to be a hit that will rule the pop charts.

MARILYN MONROE
Practically the definition of Hollywood glamour, Monroe’s bold and beautiful curves were the world’s obsession throughout the 1950s. Norma Jeane Mortenson – her birth name – created an art through her body and changed the way the world looked at sexuality.

BEYONCE
Her hit “Diva” made it impossible to leave Beyonce? off this list. Her latest album was all about female empowerment and her strong songs and fierce moves got people everywhere dancing on YouTube.

CHER
Cher’s extremely unique style, once considered outrageous, is the reason we see artists today who are not afraid to seem wacky on the fashion runway. Cher apologizes for nothing, though she has been known to stir up controversy, standing up to people and governments everywhere with her catchy, powerful songs.

ELTON JOHN
There is hardly a single person on the planet who cannot name at least one of John’s songs, whether it’s “Bennie and the Jets” or “Candle in the Wind.” His openness about his sexual orientation and personal life, along with his many contributions to society as an activist for human rights, makes him a role model to all.
