"With her scraped-back hair, red lipstick, hoop earrings and penchant for simple black dresses or denim and polo necks, she has become the last word in understated but somehow unattainable style."
"Sade were a huge phenomenon in the mid-80s, even in the US - rare for a British band. Their debut album Diamond Life sold more than 4m copies there."
"Adu's look stood out from her peers: Madonna in lace and lingerie, Whitney Houston in shoulder pads, and Cyndi Lauper in club kid maximalism."
Sade, led by Sade Adu, will be inducted into the 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Adu's style, characterized by simplicity and elegance, has made her a fashion icon. Despite not releasing new music since 2010, her influence remains strong, with fans like Drake showcasing their admiration. Her iconic outfits, such as those from 'The Sweetest Taboo' music video, are featured in exhibitions. Adu's enduring style is compared to legendary figures like Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich, highlighting her unique presence in the music industry.
