Best-Dressed Female Musicians 2013

Fashion and music have always gone hand in hand, but it's been a while since that intersection has felt as exciting as it does right now: Hedi Slimane sent a pack of '90s-era grunge babes down his Fall 2013 Saint Laurent runway, Riccardo Tisci made Rihanna's latest tour outfits, and the front rows of the past few seasons of shows have featured more cool-girl rock stars (ahem, Alison Mosshart) than we can count.

With South by Southwest currently in full swing and the start of festival season looming on the horizon, there seems no better time than now to celebrate all the fashionable — and talented — ladies making music right now.
