She's the Central Saint Martens Student who became an international superstar and the front woman of her eponymous band. Sade is as iconoclastic as they come. Born in Nigeria as Helen Folasade Adu and raised in the UK, the international icon is known best for diffusing the lines between soul, smooth jazz and minimalist pop, leaving a musical legacy in her wake. And while her soul-soothing music is the thing she will be remembered best for, her personal style didn't fall short of her legacy. The slicked hair, the oversized gold hoops, the red lip and her effortlessly cool stage presence has always had us pining, so we're rounding up Sade's most iconic outfits, below.
