Gender Benders: Men Who Rock Women's Clothes

Prince, Jaden Smith, Young Thug and more fashion mavericks.

Young Thug - Gender bending in hip hop is a rarity, but for rapper Young Thug, it's second nature. On the cover for his album No, My Name Is Jeffery, the MC proudly rocks a dress. Though he became a meme sensation following the reveal of the cover, the rapper is standing by it proudly.(Photo: Atlantic, 300 Entertainment) 
Jaden Smith  - Jaden Smith is known for being a free spirit, so his experimental fashion choices tend to be anything but surprising. From dresses and skirts to floral headbands, the young scion has worn it all, donning whatever he feels matches his mood. Sources close to the actor/musician say that he enjoys wearing feminine frocks because it makes a "high-end fashion statement." Proving that this sentiment isn't just in his head, high-end fashion brand Louis Vuitton made the actor the face of their Spring/Summer 2016 womenswear campaign. (Photos from Left: FayesVision/WENN.com, Nicolas Ghesquiere via Instagram) 
Lil' B - The hip hop community is known for its forced hypermasculinity, but MC Lil' B has never been shy of embracing his feminine side. In his video for "Got the Mack Loaded," the rapper rocked a pair of dangling beaded earrings while serving his rhymes. This isn't the first time Lil' B has unapologetically worn clothing intentionally meant for women — it's now become a part of his brand.(Photo: ESPN)
