EMAS FASHION ICON: BILL KAULITZ OF TOKIO HOTEL

Usually it’s the ladies’ wardrobe choices that make the biggest splash on the EMA red carpet. But when it comes to the frontman of the German band Tokio Hotel, his risk-taking style statements prove that men’s fashion can be anything but boring.

Bill Kaulitz, who has said he often conceives of the ideas for his costumes, reinvents the glam-punk rock look with bold eye makeup, black leather, and signature gravity-defying hair. (Though he isn’t afraid to get it wet, as he proved at the 2007 EMAs during the band’s performance of “Monsoon.”) Tokio Hotel’s music has earned them an ardent fan following, and Bill’s edgy style has earned him the title of true fashion icon.
