Avril Lavigne has had different looks over the years, but some people like one style better than the other. Here is how to look like the punky pop singer.

Method 1
Method 1 of 3:

The Punk Look

  1. 1
    Dye your hair. If your hair isn't already blonde, consider dying your hair blonde. Choose one strand of hair that is at the front of your face and dye that strand hot pink.
  2. 2
    Style your hair. Part your hair to the side and get long side bangs. Also, get layers at the bottom of your hair that are barely seen.

  3. 3
    Wear lots of black, white, and pink. These are the colors that she wears the most often. Avril usually wears denim and black t-shirts with punk skulls on them.
  4. 4
    Get converse shoes or high tops. They are easy to find and are a great accessory with Avril's look. Toms are okay too as long as they are black or white or hot pink.
  5. 5
    Wear silver jewelry. Avril wears a lot of bold jewelry, and remember, to save money, the jewelry doesn't have to be real silver, it can be silver-colored. Also, consider wearing hot pink & black chunky bracelets to show some attitude.

Method 2 of 3:

The Skater Look

  1. 1
    Dye your hair. If your hair isn't already blonde, consider dying your hair blonde. Then streak your hair black.
  2. 2
    Wear dark colors. Wear black, white, dark red, and navy blue clothes. Any dark, solid colored tank tops work well, and you can wear two tanks at the same time with both of them showing. For a unique Avril look, put crazy pins on your shirt and pants. Wear boys shirts, cargo pants or baggy jeans. Wear hoodies and put your hood up.
  3. 3
    Wear some black skate shoes. Get brands like DC's, Vans, and black high-top Converse.
  4. 4
    Her socks are high socks (skater socks), mid-length of your calves, not above your knee, but in the middle between your foot and knee, white, with a stripe on the top.
  5. 5
    Wear studded belts with cool buckles.
  6. 6
    Wear lots of red and black bracelets. Do not forget the solid-coloured sweatbands and spike bracelets. Add rings and chains to add to the Avril look. Wear rings on your thumb.

Method 3 of 3:

Makeup (Both Styles)

  1. 1
    Apply some foundation. Avril's skin usually looks flawless, so buy some foundation and apply it evenly on your face.
  2. 2
    Start to create the smokey eye. No matter which look she's rocking, Avril's famous smokey eye is consistent. Start with your eyeliner. Draw a thick line along the upper lashes with black eyeliner, then do the same thing along your lower lash line, taking it all the way into the inner and outer corners of your eye. You can also add a little "wing" or "cattail" at the edge of the eye.
  3. 3
    Apply your eyeshadow. Put a grey colour all over your eyelid, and then apply black eyeshadow along your outer eyelid.
    • If you want to, add sparkles, like Avril does on stage.
  4. 4
    Top off your eyes with mascara. Use about two coats of volumizing mascara (make sure that your lashes don't clump) on both the upper and lower lashes.
  5. 5
    Put on some blush. Avril Lavigne uses extremely light pink blush. Dust some blush on the apples of your cheeks.
  6. 6
    Use nude lipstick. Because Avril always wants the focus to be on her eyes, she tones down her lip color. She usually wears light, natural colors. Do not go with anything that is too red, unless you want to look like her in the video "Hot".
