Majestic elegance: Sharon den Adel's unmistakable style

Sharon den Adels' stage looks are as captivating as Within Temptation's music. She combines elements of the gothic scene with an almost elfin grace. She often wears floor-length dresses or robes in dark colours such as black, burgundy or deep blue. These are often made of flowing fabrics that give her stage presence a majestic, almost floating aura. She focuses on details such as elaborate embroidery, lace or transparent inserts.

Her outfits are often asymmetrically cut or have wide sleeves, which makes her movements on stage even more dramatic. Corsets or tight-fitting tops emphasise her figure and give the look a classic, feminine silhouette. Sometimes she also surprises with modern elements such as leather jackets or trousers, which she combines with elegant tops. Her boots are usually sturdy but stylish, with studs or buckles that add a touch of rock “n” roll.

Sharon stays true to her style when it comes to her beauty look too. Her make-up is often dramatic, but never over the top. She emphasises her eyes with dark, smoky eyeshadow that perfectly highlights her blue eyes. She often wears nude or soft pink lipstick, which draws more attention to her eye make-up. Sometimes, however, she opts for a bold, dark red to contrast with her blonde hair.

Her long brown hair is her trademark. She usually wears it loose, in soft waves or gentle curls, giving her a natural, almost fairy-tale look. Occasionally, she can also be seen with elaborate braided hairstyles or a high bun, which further emphasises her elegant dresses.

Off stage, Sharon shows her casual yet style-conscious side. Black remains her favourite colour. She likes to wear comfortable jeans or leggings, which she combines with simple band T-shirts or elegant but uncomplicated tops. A casual leather jacket or a long, flowing coat completes her everyday look.

Her private style is also characterised by a certain elegance. She likes to combine simple basics with eye-catching but subtle accessories. When it comes to shoes, she focuses on comfort: trainers, boots or sandals. Her everyday make-up is minimalist, often consisting of just a little mascara and a light foundation. She often appears without make-up, proving that true beauty comes from within.
