A Visual Celebration of Frank Ocean’s Best Fashion Moments
Frank Ocean may be secretive about a lot of things, but one thing he is not so quiet about is his love of fashion. The R&B crooner is a downright nerd when it comes to couture, and he not only has the range vocally, but style-wise as well. His looks have gone from flashy (remember when he vogued the night away at his birthday party with Tyler, The Creator?) to normcore (in a year where the Met Gala was all about camp, he showed up looking like one of the guards telling people they aren’t allowed to get in). Whether he’s on the red carpet or in the backseat of a car and taking photographs of himself in sparkly pineapple sunglasses, his sense of style in all its iterations must be celebrated. Here, a visual ode to those moments in Ocean’s life where he really proved himself as a low-key fashion icon.
