Her "One in a million" era was the beginning of her iconic status. The long hair side part covering her eye, the four page letter belly dance, the hot like fire and if your girl only knew vocals The 'Are you that somebody' dance. Everything she did in that era was iconic. People try so hard to be the loudest, dance the hardest, or be the most stand out person in the room but Aaliyah had an undeniable presence that made it so she didn't even have to try to be a star. She just was one. Some people just have "it".

Look at the mark they made in style and beauty in just the 5-7 years they worked together.

[@UnreleasedUnderratedRnBgrooves]

She was just exploring her womanhood and was starting to get more experimental and comfortable lacing some grown & sexy undertones to her work. Much like how her idol Janet Jackson did during the early phase of her career. So sad because like Brian McKnight said to BET a week after her passing; “Aaliyah was just starting to blossom into a mega superstar”.

I've been in the studio and it's easy to fall in love with the people you work with because you spend a lot of time together. R. Kelly was a predator, but I definitely think that Aaliyah was on the same page as far as marriage and a relationship goes.

These white brands steal from Black people so much! When you try to tell people that the 90s fashion was heavily influenced and stolen from Black people, they will see it's a white brand and say "JUST BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE WORE IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY CREATED IT" or "UH IT'S LITERALLY A WHITE BRAND, EVERYONE WAS DRESSED THAT WAY." No everyone wasn't dressed like Black people. We were doing different things with the fashions. We were the trendsetters and these fashion houses were studying us and changing up their designs. That's what people don't understand. It's so frustrating.

Well, it was actually a partnership. You say “steal” like they weren’t paid for their work. Aaliyah and other black people who partnered with fashion designers worked together to create style from different influences. At the end of the day, they both were paid. Yes, there are a hundred examples you can point to of white people taking things from others to make themselves more famous and wealthy, but this example is not the same.

A little "collab" or brand deal money doesn't equal a cut of the revenues or sales and doesn't account for any other white fashion designers and brands in the 90s who were turning to Black communities to create their "urban" lines and "street" wear looks without credit or pay. They were literally copying the exact looks that Black gangs wore and making it mainstream and runway 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ I can really care less what you believe. We could give proof for every instance and you whites would still make excuses but Black designers, celebs, and the community are stolen from to this very day by white designers and fashion brands.

@@scdc9628 i think it’s because the media sort of turned their back on TLC and stoped giving them their flowers

[@ticketyblue3080]

I loved this girl so much. We were born the same week. She'd be 42 now. Who knows the impact she'd have by this time.

[@untitled.4507]

she deserved the world. sad that many discredit her. she was ahead of her time.

[@wandeesthoughts]

She looked like she was fun to dress up would have been nice to see how her fashion sense was going to be now.

[@dumbgeniusesfilmpodcast8879]

Rip Aliyah she was the best it was unfortunate that she was on the airplane that crash sad times😭

[@kimoramicheal8353]

Aaliyah is still ßæ! 😍😘

[@aaliyahsgems]

Aaliyah’s 2000-01 styles have to be my favourite 🕊🤍

[@ushercrave]

Her style was practically the same in 1999 also....

[@carayj]

My late sister love her Tommy Hilfiger clothes the 90s were EVERYTHING!!

[@princesskristan]

No lie, I started wearing a side bang over my left eye because of her from middle school to my 20s. She's truly missed

[@shinigamimaxwell1839]

Same honestly

[@cortycare]

Same. And still do! Lol Them iPhones just be flipping the pictures. All my parts are going to the left... all my hairstylists know which side 😂

Her death is still so mysterious to me. As well as MJ’s. May both of the souls Rest In Peace ✨🕊

[@corneliuswashington-gp1we]

.... i always saw that her style team really loved her...her hair was NOURISHED....not just styled....her make up was STRONG... but never VULGAR...her clothes were full of STYLE....but never TRASHY...she looked....ALLURING....she drew you in....she did not PROJECT towards you...i have never seen a young woman so DARK...in aura but be so WHOLESOME at the same time...i have to say that her make up was the ultimate for me...he celebrated her....not just go for trends or try too hard...he CELEBRATED HER...

[@awesomestar7597]

I love how her look is still relevant today. Her hair makeup and everything

[@Shaunie2Hot]

i definitely loved her tomboy style mixed with feminine. i love my baggy clothes thank u Aaliyah for giving me the confidence to be me we miss you 🥺

[@mmhnma]

Her style team was incredible. They curated her image so well and created some really timeless looks. Aaliyah was such a trendsetter. I never knew about Veronica Lake inspiring her hairstyle. It makes so much sense, both had that mysterious vibe.

[@Lovelyonuoha]

Brooo R KELLY Almost ruined her life smh may she continue to Rest In Peace.

[@andrewstaples8677]

He tried to black ball her but it didn't work

[@jasbourne94]

I like her style in the 90s she was beautiful everybody could not pull that TomBoy style. The 90s had the best styles in my opinion

[@xx_deeamdolldiamond_3938]

[@honeymilano5325]

But a lot of women didn’t hers was super different can’t lie she was unique asf

[@ERGSEG]

I don’t think the video is saying she was the first or only to dress like this. But with her beauty and charisma, she undoubtedly made it sexy and iconic.
