Style: D'arcy has followed trends in music and styled herself to fit the music she has been performing. In grunge years she looked every inch of grunge star with baggy jumpers and sweaters, leggins, destroyed jeans and military boots. Even though she wore same kind of clothes than her male collegues, she wore occasionaly also feminine baby doll dresses that were highly popular in grunge fashion. Her outlook was completed with long straight bleached hair and minimum make up. Since grunge years D'arcy has tried different looks to fit her art.
