How to Dress Up an Aaliyah Doll

How to Dress Up an Aaliyah Doll thumbnail
Sporty pants and footwear are key components of Aaliyah's look.

R&B singer Aaliyah rose to fame in the 1990s. She was well known for her sultry singing voice and her striking good looks. Even after her career and life ended in a fatal plane crash in 2001, many remembered her iconic tomboy-chic style. Aaliyah often paired baggy, outerwear clothing with glamorous accessories, a look that can be replicated on dolls. It helps to have a photo of Aaliyah available to use as a guide.

Instructions

    • 1

      Put a pair of solid colored baggy pants on the doll. These may come in the form of exercise pants, trousers, or ski pants. The pants can fit low on the doll's waist or hips to match Aaliyah's style.

    • 2

      Tie a string bikini top on the doll.

    • 3

      Place a pair of dark sunglasses onto your doll's face and if possible, sweep the doll's hair down to just above one eye. The singer often wore her hair that way and then wore a pair of dark tinted sunglasses on top.

    • 4

      Slide a pair of sneakers onto your doll's feet. Accessorize with leather or metallic pieces. These can include a belt, choker, purse, or hat.

Tips & Warnings
