It’s not exactly a trade secret that success in the music industry is one part talent, many parts stage presence. To that eye-catching effect, our favorite performers have turned transformation into an art, keeping their fans guessing about their next single, but also about what they’ll wear next.

The queen of one hundred (and counting) wigs, Nicki Minaj shakes up her creative personality with almost every appearance. One of the few singers out there with enough talent to back-up such chameleon-like switches, Minaj performs equally well as the scarf-wrapped Nicki Teresa as the artist formerly known as Nicki Minaj who we all know and love.

Rather than bouncing from one look to another, Beyonce stays loyal to her one and only alter ego, Sasha Fierce. Born from the title album I Am … Sasha Fierce, the two different sides or the record, one upbeat and the other soulful, allow Beyonce, as well as Sasha, to explore multiple aspects of their creative personalities.
