PRIVATE ICON: AMY WINEHOUSE

It's not just her vocal stylings on hits like "Rehab" that we're, well, addicted to.


While rehab is practically a rite of passage for starlets born in the mid ’80s, Amy Winehouse unapologetically sipped her cocktails as her album Back to Black—brimming with songs such as “Rehab” and “You Know I’m No Good”—went multi-platinum and earned her a Female Vocalist of the Year Brit Award. Since her debut, Frank, four years ago, at the ripe underage of 20, Winehouse's Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan-like soulful pipes and brazen lyrics have struck a chord. But with Black, Winehouse proved she’s something else… and we’re not just talking about her vocal stylings. Seeing her dolled up on stage—her hair erected into a towering bouffant and her inky liner painted on with a heavy hand, a microphone in one hand and her signature ‘rickstasy’ in the other—Winehouse has us kind of, well, addicted.
