Simone Simons Style
Simone Simons is the beautiful lead singer of Epica, a famous gothic metal band. We’re featuring a lot of these ladies lately because we think they all have a killer style. We love strong and talented women, especially the ones who can sing on a stage and stand their ground in a scene made up mostly of men.Today we picked Simone because we think she’s one of the most elegant and down-to-earth female personalities in the metal scene. She’s also worked with many other bands, not only Epica. Read on to know more about her.
Simone Johanna Maria Simons was born in 1985 in the Netherlands. She’s loved music from a very young age. She has always studied music and played some instrument, and she started studying classical singing at 15 years old. The funny fact is that she decided to take the classical singing path after listening to the Nightwish album Oceanborn.Simone joined Epica in 2002, when she was unknown to the public. Her boyfriend Mark Jansen was already famous for being part of After Forever. He left the band and founded a new one, which later became Epica. He made her the lead vocals of the band, even if she didn’t feel like she was good enough. She still says she doesn’t like her voice in the first two of Epica’s albums and she never listens to them. The two eventually split up but kept playing together in the band. She is now completely satisfied with her voice, and she also feels like she’s really part of the group. She doesn’t like the band being defined as gothic metal, and she prefers being defined as the term: symphonic metal.Simone loves to dress up and look elegant and beautiful for her audience. She’s the first metal singer to have a beauty blog. Weird, isn’t it? She looks like a regular gal if you read her blog Smoon Style. She loves makeup, Rayban sunglasses, cooking and she’s recently become a mom. All in all, she’s a girly girl: not your typical metal singer!
Simone Simons Style
Let’s have a look at the key elements in Simone’s look. We know that she gets her inspiration from other metal bands like Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Tristania and Within Temptation. Beside the “vocal” aspect of these bands which all have a female lead singer, there’s the look too. All these bands are led by elegant and beautiful women (Cristina Scabbia, Tarja Turunen, Floor Jansen, Vibeke Stene, Sharon den Adel).
Black Rose Lace Corset Top – White Waist Cincher – Nautical Striped Corset Top Red Hair. Simone is probably the most famous red head in the metal scene today. Her most distinctive trait is her fluent and soft red hair and eyebrows. Too bad she’s not a natural redhead! Her hair is naturally brown, but her hair is always a different shade of red. She obviously knows how to make a brand of herself! Corsets. This one is pretty obvious. Simone loves all kinds of corsets. Whether it’s a steel boned corset or just a corset top, she’ll have it. She is always wearing something that looks like a corset during Epica’s concerts, in most of their promotional pictures and in the band’s music videos. Flawless Makeup. Simone has worked as a makeup artist and she still occasionally does makeup. She loves doing her own makeup for Epica’s shows. She also has a beauty blog called Smoon Style where she talks about her favourite beauty products and fashion. If you want to create a perfect Simone makeup look you’ll need three things: a high-coverage light liquid foundation, a smoky eye palette and a nude lipstick.
