Boy George
Androgynous eighties vocalist
Boy George is the stage name of George O'Dowd, the British singer who fronted Culture Club in the 1980s.
Known for his androgynous appearance, flamboyant makeup, and soulful voice, he became an icon of both new wave music and gender nonconformity.
His look—braided hair, heavy eyeliner, colorful hats—made him as recognizable as his hits like "Karma Chameleon."
