12 Male Singers Who Rocked A Skirt

We all know Harry Styles rocked on the cover of Vogue, but what other artists have also taken a step towards breaking gender norms through a clothing rebellion?

1. Freddie Mercury (Queen)

Mercury got dressed up in a drag look for the music video to accompany hit song I Want To Break Free. According to Roger Taylor, MTV was not too impressed with this, as they felt rock music should be more manly.

2. Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance)

Is it a fashion statement? Is it a deathwish? Honestly who knows, all we do know is that we love it.

3. Conan Gray

At this point, this iconic skirt tells it's own story. Conan wears it as he talks about wishing to be Heather, the girl his crush is in a relationship with.

4. Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)

I can imagine this wouldn't go down well with some of the fans, but honestly, I think this is a pretty good way of making a statement.

5. Brian Molko (Placebo) (Placebo)

Apparently, Molko's intention was to make homophobes question their sexuality. Which is totally iconic.

6. Ethan Torchio (Måneskin)

Italian band and Eurovision winners Måneskin hosted a wedding to celebrate the release of their album Rush. As a part of their wedding, they all got dressed up and walked down the idle to exchange vows of loyalty.

7. Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day)

Bisexual icon Billie Joe Armstrong wearing a pink Tutu anyone?

8. Decklan Mckenna

Mckenna wore a dress in a few of his stage shows, and unlike some of the skirts in this list, this one is quite subtle.

9. Lil Nas X

Bowie's conceptual character of Ziggy Stardust was an androgynous character who broke gender norms a long time before artists like Harry Styles started doing it.
