The only aspect of Annie Lennox more captivating than her haunting alto voice is her iconic image. As the singer of the Eurythmics, she was catapulted to stardom in the early ‘80s with the aid of her androgynous style, defined in large part by masculine suits and closely cropped hair. —Jeff Royer (Photo: Dave Hogan, Getty Images)

Lady GagaLady Gaga’s androgyny has been part of her allure since the beginning of her career, and even sparked the widespread rumor that she is a hermaphrodite. She took her gender-bending to the next level with her appearance at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards as male alter ego Jo Calderone, an Italian from New Jersey who performed Gaga’s song “You and I,” flirted with Britney Spears and ran his mouth at the media. —Jeff Royer (Photo: Kevin Winter, Getty Images)

David BowieThroughout his career, Bowie has changed his proclaimed sexual orientation nearly as often as he’s changed the color of his hair. He played up his androgyny during the glam era, most visibly as alter ego Ziggy Stardust, but by the mid-’80s claimed his publicists had manufactured the entire thing, characterizing his public declaration of bisexuality to Rolling Stone as "the biggest mistake I ever made.” —Jeff Royer (Photo: Jack Kay, Hulton Archive, Getty Images)

Grace JonesJones thrilled and, just as often, terrified audiences in the late ‘70s and ‘80s with her towering, masculine, angular looks, characterized by a fierce flat top haircut and tribal makeup. She remains as famous today for her looks as her music. —Jeff Royer (Photo: Jim Dyson, Getty Images)

Boy GeorgeWhile he once famously quipped that he preferred “a nice cup of tea” to sex, Boy George’s biggest asset in the early 1980s was the sexual mystique he cultivated with his androgynous looks. His hair, makeup and colorful wardrobe turned the Culture Club singer into an icon whose impact would far outlast his music. —Jeff Royer (Photo: Samir Hussein, Getty Images)

Marilyn MansonWhere other musicians pushed the envelope by dressing as the opposite gender, Marilyn Manson went Full Monty, supplementing his ever-present makeup and “dark overlord” robes with supposed breast implants that were later revealed to be prosthetics. —Jeff Royer (Photo: Vince Bucci, Getty Images)

Freddie MercuryUnbridled flamboyance with a four-octave range, Freddie Mercury was one of the first openly gay rock gods, playing with the ideas of gender roles with a wink and a smile, right down to the name he gave his band. —Jeff Royer (Photo: Keystone, Hulton Archive, Getty Images)

PrinceDespite possessing a well-documented appetite for women, Prince’s diminutive size and purple flamboyance made him one of rock’s great gender-benders. It’s been a complicated ride, to say the least. On one hand, Prince went so far as to record an entire album as his feminine alter ego, Camille. On the other, he’s been accused of making homophobic remarks in interviews as recently as 2008. —Jeff Royer (Photo: Frank Micelotta, Getty Images)

Patti SmithThe androgynous godmother of punk seemed to find her style on the cover of her 1975 album “Horses,” and never looked back. She loved – and still does – to challenge convention, and that extended to her wardrobe, which consisted largely of oversized men’s shirts, well-worn black jeans and a tie. —Jeff Royer (Photo: Jason Kempi, Getty Images)

k.d. langLang’s emergence on the pop scene in the early ‘90s rattled plenty of conservatives’ cages due to her androgynous, cross-dressing style, sensationalized by a rumored (and bogus) affair with Madonna and a now infamous Vanity Fair cover shoot in which she received some intimate grooming from a scantily clad Cindy Crawford. —Jeff Royer (Photo: Frazer Harrison, Getty Images)

Dee SniderTwisted Sister frontman Snider was the epitome of ‘80s hair metal drag with his flowing blonde hair and haunted-house makeup. It wasn’t pretty, but as a means of challenging conventional notions of manhood, it was effective, to say the least. —Jeff Royer (Photo: Dave Hogan, Getty Images)

Adam LambertGlambert teased and titillated “American Idol” viewers as an openly gay contestant, very nearly becoming the show’s first gay champion thanks to his flamboyantly over-the-top performances and his gender-bending style, complete with loads of nail polish, jewelry and the liberal application of guyliner. —Jeff Royer (Photo: Christopher Polk, Getty Images)

New York DollsWhile other glam-metal bands could easily be included on this list – Mötley Crüe, Poison, et al – none of them would have embraced their androgynous style without the band that started it all, the New York Dolls. Not only did they invent glam rock, they more or less paved the way for the New York punk scene – and they did it while scaring the tar out of folks in makeup and leather. —Jeff Royer (Photo: P.

Lux InteriorNo one wore high heels with as much ferocious authority as Cramps singer Lux Interior, who in his unhinged, frenetic and bloodied live shows often wore little else, cramming new ideas about sexuality down the audience’s throat as he crammed a microphone down his own. —Jeff Royer (Photo: Karl Walter, Getty Images)
