Happy Birthday To The Girl On Fire

Celebrate the New York songstress with her fashion moments.

Iconic singer-songwriter, pianist, philanthropist, art patron, mother and proud New Yorker Alicia Keys is celebrating her 42nd birthday today! Known for her love of her home in New York, with many songs to prove it, she’s also known for some pretty iconic and fun looks throughout her career. From her Zoë Kravitz braids before they were Zoë Kravitz braids to her soft 90s makeup looks to her non-makeup looks these days, her almost thirty-decade career is full of notable style and beauty moments. The Grammy-award winner has been gracing the stage and out eardrums since 1996, with her first album, Songs In A Minor, breaking the R&B charts.

Celebrate the dulcet-toned singer through her iconic fashion moments.
