You Don't Have to Know Omar Apollo's Music to Appreciate His Impeccable Style

11/11/2020 - 09:45 PM

Omar Apollo has been making major waves in the music scene with the release of his new 9-song EP Apolonio [1], but I'm here to talk about his style. Born Omar Apolonio Velasco, the 23-year-old singer-songwriter won a place in my heart after I listened to his song "Erase" [2]. Immediately after stalking his Instagram and watching videos of his performances on stage, it was easy to see that he was well on his way to becoming a style icon as well. While his latest release is his technically his third album, it is the first one with him signed to a major music label, which is a pretty big deal. TBH, you don't even have to be a fan of the singer to love his style — it's *that* good.

If I had to compare Omar's androgynous style, I would liken him to a modern-day Prince. He's even referenced a love for Prince's style in past interviews. In fact, the singer described his love for androgyny in a recent interview with Vogue [3] revealing, "I've always liked the girl's section at the thrift shop, even before I was making money." Keep reading to take a look at 15 of our favourite style moments from the singer ahead to see what we're talking about.
