Return to Joan Jett

STYLE HOP

Style Icon: Joan Jett

Of all the female rock goddesses, nobody has captured that pure rock style quite like Joan Jett. From the time she exploded onto the scene with The Runaways, the original “jailbait rockers”, Joan Jett has been a style icon with her football jerseys, leather pants, all black Chuck Taylors, and feathered black hair. Joan Jett’s look has inspired countless women from Kathleen Hanna, Kristen Stewart, and Britney Spears, who did a cover of Joan Jett’s famous hit song “I Love Rock ‘N Roll.” Her ageless beauty is beyond compare. Even at 50 years of age, she still tours, releases albums, and looks like she could be 30 years old. The “Original Riot Grrrl” is so hot today; Blender magazine named her one of the “hottest women of rock” twenty-one years after debuted with The Runaways.
