When you think of rock stars, you picture leather jackets, bold stage looks, and unapologetic individuality. All of the musicians on this list have said they’re vegan — but while they don’t always talk about their wardrobes, their style often seems to reflect that same ethos.
From avant-garde streetwear to immaculate tailoring, they show that rock can evolve without losing its edge, and that looking fierce doesn’t have to come at the expense of animals.
Here are five vegan rock stars whose fashion sense often makes as much noise as their sound.
1. Oli Sykes
Band: Bring Me The Horizon
The frontman of Bring Me The Horizon blends alternative streetwear with avant-garde influences. As the founder of the Drop Dead fashion brand, he has stated that it is 100% vegan. His signature style? Oversized silhouettes, layered textures, and bold prints. On stage, Sykes is as unpredictable as his setlists — sharp tailoring one night, distressed layers the next.
2. Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein
Band: Misfits, Doyle
The Misfits‘ guitarist proves vegan living can coexist with hardcore aesthetics. Known for his towering frame, signature devilock hairstyle, and all-black performance gear, Doyle’s wardrobe leans heavily on tactical vests, sculpted boots, and custom pieces. Doyle also frequently performs shirtless, turning his physique itself into part of his stage fashion — an unapologetic display that matches the power of his industrial punk-metal sound.
3. Alissa White-Gluz
Band: Arch Enemy
White-Gluz merges metal’s theatrical flair with cruelty-free style choices. Her stage looks often feature leather-look pieces made from synthetic materials, dramatic corsets, and ornate, armour-inspired designs. She has said her outfits are frequently influenced by surf style, blending comfort and ease of movement with her love of the ocean. A long-time vegan, White-Gluz adopted the lifestyle as a teenager for ethical and environmental reasons — and she is one half of a vegan power couple with Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein.
4. Fernanda Lira
Band: Crypta (formerly Nervosa)
Lira brings a raw, rebellious metal look that still aligns with vegan values. Her go-to stage gear includes dark denim, studded belts, and graphic tees. She has connected her lifestyle to broader ideas of justice and equality, suggesting that her wardrobe choices are as intentional as her music. Lira has said she chose veganism out of compassion for animals and a belief in fighting all forms of oppression, a principle that’s reflected in both her activism and stage presence.
5. Bryan Adams
Band: Solo artist
The Canadian rock legend might not have a heavy metal sound, but his influence is undeniable. Adams’ style leans toward timeless and minimal — tailored jackets, clean lines, and understated cool. He has partnered with Canadian sustainable outerwear brand Wuxly to release the “BAD Collection,” a limited-edition line of jackets and hoodies made from animal-free, bio-based, and recyclable materials. The collaboration reflects his 30-year dedication to veganism, proving that cruelty-free fashion can be polished and rockstar-ready.
Final Note
From intimate club shows to global stages, these musicians illustrate that style can be fierce, unique, and impactful without relying on animal-derived materials. Whether their looks are experimental or refined, they’ve helped show that vegan-inspired fashion has a place in every corner of rock culture.
