It would have been Aaliyah‘s 40th birthday today.
In remembrance of the late singer who passed away in a plane crash on August 25, 2001, aged 22 but still continues to be a huge influence to stars and fashionistas till date. To mark what would have been her 40th birthday, we’re looking back at 8 photos of her that remains evergreen.

Sigh! We can only aspire to this gorgeousness!
