Sarah Blasko: A Very Stylish Girl

Sarah Blasko is a musician and singer who was born in Sydney Australia in 1976, and I am ashamed to tell you that although I have known of Sarah for quite some time, it is only now that I have discovered her magical, ethereal voice and her elegant and witty style.

Sarah is not the sort of singer to be found on top 40 radio. But her refusal to be pigeonholed is reflected in her moody, ethereal sound, and she remains a welcome change of pace from the saturated folk marketplace.  I love that Sarah's music and style is far from the mainstream.

Sarah's sense of style could be mistaken for being quite conservative, but I believe that just because she chooses clothing that covers her body, rather than exploiting it, what is most apparent about her style is that she likes to have fun with her look by injecting humour into her outfits.  She does this in the little touches such as a bow-tie, or a dress with extreme shoulders, or it could simply be the pattern or colour of the dress fabric.  What I admire is she does this while all the while looking confident and feminine when performing whether it is on stage or in a music video.

A veteran of the music industry, Sarah has the sort of fame that most of her peers would kill for. She’s anonymous enough that she doesn’t have to worry about the paparazzi, yet she has a strong, fiercely loyal following that anticipates her new stuff with excitement. And, although she’s best-known in her native land of Australia, Sarah has slowly but surely gained traction in the rest of the world thanks to her tireless touring schedule.

As intelligent as she is talented, Sarah is obviously determined to ensure that her music speaks for itself. It’s difficult not to respect that, particularly given that she possesses the sort of looks that seem to appeal to the mainstream and could’ve easily branded herself as yet another impossibly pretty singer.


Here is a little taste of the very lovely voice that is Sarah Blasko:

Sarah’s status as a thoroughly unique presence within the music industry has been firmly cemented, as has her unique sense of style and presence.

I hope you enjoy this new series of style profiles.  I hope to bring you more lesser known stylish ladies to your attention over the next little while.
