So ever since I can remember loving alternative pop rock-ish kinda stuff Paramore was my shit. My 7th grade angsty pre-teen rebel without a cause self thought that Paramore was like the coolest band ever. Not just because “Pressure” was the most listened to song on my CD Player or because I was inspired to rock skinny jeans (best decision of my life) but because Hayley Williams was the lead singer. Alternative bands with girls at the front (especially with an all male band otherwise) were hard to come by. Even harder to find was a girl at the head of the band who wasn’t trying to be a sex pot [read: sell-out] to get attention. An if you can believe it she can actually sing. I know, shocker.
Recently, my love for Paramore, and more specifically Hayley Williams has grown and changed. I’m not as big of a fan of their music anymore, but as time goes by Hayley evolving fashion choices are as organic and uniquely tom-boy chic as their first record. Hayley’s flirtation with Gwen Stefani inspired glamour is a dream come true for fashion forward alt chicks everywhere.
BEFORE AFTER
This first look is slightly more glam than the All We Know Is Falling era, when she and her band mates were barely out of high school, but still in the beginning stages of Hayley finding her style appropriate for a 21 y.o. and not a 13 y.o.
The second look, slightly more mature, still playful and young but put together. She’s shed the rebel without a cause look and really found her groove, plus the hair cut is brilliant. Even though her music isn’t as raw and guitar heavy as before she still seems to strike a chord with my emotions (The Only Exception seems like she wrote the story of my love life). And I still love the orange hair.
Life.Love.Music.
