Revisiting Rock 'n' Roll Legend Tina Turner's Iconic Fashion Statements

Tina Turner, the legendary Rock ‘n’ Roll icon known for timeless hits like Proud Mary and What’s Love Got To Do With It, passed away at 83. Throughout her life, she faced numerous health challenges, including intestinal cancer, a stroke that required her to relearn how to walk, and kidney failure. In the 1960s, Tina rose to fame alongside her ex-husband Ike, captivating audiences with songs like River Deep and Mountain High. After their separation, Tina Turner embarked on a successful solo career, earning the well-deserved title of the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Her remarkable talent was recognised with multiple Grammy Awards, and she was honoured with dual inductions into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, once with Ike in 1991 and again as a solo performer in 2021. Throughout her career, Tina Turner’s life remained tumultuous, but she also made waves with her iconic style statements. Let’s take a moment to appreciate a few of them.
