10 Grimes – Elvish Fashion Gown
Grimes was a drummer to her own tune, as is evident by the fact that her baby names are her choices. The singer attended the Met Gala in 2021 solo, looking straight out of a videogame.
Her ethereal, elvish look was created by Iris Van Herpen. Herpen’s style was perfect for Grimes’ aesthetic. Herpen allowed Grimes to express her personality while keeping to the theme.
