These Nostalgic Pics of Pink From The Early '00s Will Remind You Why She's One Cool Chameleon

Lady Gaga and Katy Perry may get all the attention for their wild looks, but in my mind, pop star Pink owns them all with her own personal style, and she was doing it right way before Gaga or Perry hit our cultural sphere. Pink has been pumping out hits since her 2001 album Misaundaztood (dumb, dumb spelling) and has looked fierce doing it ever since. These photos of Pink in her early days as a pop star will remind you just how cool Pink always was.
