Kanye West's new girlfriend Amber Rose: Gorgeous or just oddly androgynous? The video vixen is like a hybrid of '70s disco warrior-goddess Grace Jones and '90s alt-rebel Sinead O'Connor. What other stars have made ambiguous looks work for them?
David Bowie is pretty much the godfather of androgyny. His Ziggy Stardust era music made enigmatic, theatrical, science fiction-based bisexual alter-egos – and spiders from Mars – seem cool. Par for the course now, but no small feat back in 1973.
We always assumed Sporty was the androgynous Spice, but apparently we were wrong. When Victoria Beckham left the girl power group, she ditched her feminine "Posh" attire for this gothic android look and – surprisingly – it works on her.
With his shoulder length coif, tiny nose, rouged lips and petite frame, not to mention that distinct falsetto voice, Michael Jackson has always been the king of pop androgyny. Some even suspect he and sister LaToya are the same person.
Actress Cate Blanchett is that rare chameleon who can inhabit any role, male or female. She was even nominated for an Oscar for her mesmerizing performance as Bob Dylan in "I'm Not There."
Part glamorous ("Marilyn" Monroe), part hideous (Charles "Manson"), goth rocker Marilyn Manson's androgynous act is not an issue when it comes to attracting hot ladies. But, under the makeup, does he really look like Paul from "The Wonder Years"?
What the heck happened to Ginnifer Goodwin? Has she been hanging out with Posh or something? Somehow the sweet girl next door from "Big Love" suddenly looks like the bizarro version of Nicolas Cage's goth son.
Why does John Mayer look so sad? Oh, wait. That's Katie Holmes in a sloppy hipster dude outfit and knit cap. It appears that the actress's newfound androgynous style has the Tom Cruise seal of approval.
Former Poison lead singer Bret Michaels' days as an '80s hair band babe-magnet are over, but the "Rock of Love" reality star's long tresses and black eyeliner live on. And for some reason, a bunch of really trashy chicks still love the guy.
Tilda Swinton is the very essence of androgynous. The interesting, but very eerie-looking Oscar-winning actress first became famous for her leading role in 1992's "Orlando," in which she played a man playing a woman.
Whoa. Is Jena Malone starring in some "Joan of Arc" remake — or is she Marilyn Manson's new girlfriend? Hard to say, but that's the nature of ambiguous fashion statements.
Clay Aiken isn't fooling anyone with that tie and sweater combo. His perfectly coiffed hairdo and soft pink pout are more Martha Stewart than Mr. Rogers.
"Juno" actress Ellen Page is a talented young Hollywood hipster, but we have a feeling there might also be an androgynous indie music star inside that petite frame who's just itchin' to rock out.
