Before the cardigan and bra trend, Aaliyah makes a convincing case for the hoodie and bra trend.

Aaliyah poses next to fellow singer Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes from TLC in a coordinated camo look.

On stage, Aaliyah wears a red jacket over a wraparound bra top and belted vinyl pants.

The singer wears a futuristic jumpsuit on the “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” in 1997.

At the 1998 Academy Awards, the singer looks sleek in a paneled long sleeve gown.

Aaliyah channels minimalist chic in this all-black look.

In another red carpet fit, Aaliyah stuns in beaded pants and a matching sheer tunic.

Paired with baggy leather pants, Aaliyah’s crop top features a ragged, asymmetrical hem.

For her "Hot Like Fire" music video, Aaliyah pairs a halter top with baggy leather camo pants to match her red convertible.

In 2000, Aaliyah dons a frosty look with a faux fur jacket.

Aaliyah goes edgier with studs, leather, and chains at the 2000 Teen Choice Awards.

The singer is decked out in a yellow Tommy Hilfiger look for a performance.

In 2001, Alliyah matches her background dancers in black low-rise trousers and a leather pageboy cap.

A leather jacket and black turtleneck is a timeless '90s pairing.

With an initial pendant around her neck, Aaliyah keeps it cool in a strapless top and fur-trimmed coat.
