In addition to being the first solo female rapper to go platinum, Da Brat ruled the nineties with her unique style.

And there were no rules when it came to what she would sport on red carpets and celeb outings. From oversize T-shirts and snazzy hair accessories to crop tops and leather, Da Brat’s fluid fashion has influenced a new generation of creatives today. Not to mention her makeup is always flawless. Even in 2019, the rap star, actress and TV cohost, who has been in the game for more than 30 years, continued her eclectic aesthetic.

Today, the legend celebrates another year around the sun, and we couldn’t help but list our favorite looks from the entertainer. Check them out below.
