Polo by Ralph Lauren, cotton shirt, 1990s, USA, gift of Ralph Lauren Corporation

Lauryn Hill wore a casual ensemble—Polo jersey and jeans, accessorized with hoops and bangles—for a 1997 Fugees concert in Haiti. Here she exemplifies the ways that hip hop artists adapted their everyday style for stage costume. Hill and her Haitian-born bandmates Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel performed to raise aid money for the country. She opted for a simple, hip hop-inflected look to connect with fans.
