Hayley Williams is known for her vocals as the lead singer of Paramore. Since forming in 2004, the group has not only topped music charts with their hit singles “crushcrushcrush,” “Ain’t It Fun” and “The Only Exception,” but became an influencer of the Y2k punk style.
Throughout the years, from red carpet to fashion shows, Williams has continued to stay both relevant and fashionable. The singer is known to incorporate leather, statement overalls, ripped tights and other rock-leaning style pieces into her wardrobe.
With Paramore currently embarking on the remaining legs of their worldwide tour, with tour dates set in London, Dublin, Milan and beyond, here is a closer look at Hayley Williams’ style evolution throughout the years.
