Tina Turner’s passing Wednesday prompted tributes from some of the biggest names in the biz, including several performers who’ve followed in the icon’s footsteps over the last half-century. While Turner’s influence undoubtedly includes everything from her vocal stylings to her immaculate performances, one of her most lasting contributions to entertainment would be her unparalleled style, gracing stages all over the world in one-of-a-kind pieces.
The sexy hemlines, vibrant sequin and impeccable craftsmanship of her costumes — and much of her everyday clothing, as well — went on to inspire the on-stage looks of stars ranging from Disco queen Donna Summer to the current Queen Bee, Beyoncé.
In honor of her impeccable style, take a look at some of her most iconic fits below.
