Style Record: Tiffany Houghton

Tiffany Houghton’s voice is simply angelic. There’s something sweet yet powerful about her inflections, adding a unique, honeysweet texture to addictive pop gems. If you haven’t already heard of her (somehow), a quick Google search will show how prominent the emerging artist has become in only a handful of years. The millions upon millions of YouTube plays for hits like “Catch Me If You Can” and “High” deliver a great prognosis for her forthcoming album, due out in March of 2017.

While the rest of the world focuses on her music, we got to know the emerging pop starlet’s spotless sense of style. Catch our talk below about her mother’s fashion advice, studying fashions of the past and the importance of dressing for oneself.

Paste: Have you always been into fashion or is it a new interest?

Tiffany Houghton: My mom would always say to me growing up, “Take the time in the morning to dress well and feel good, but the moment you’re finished getting ready, forget your looks and go make somebody else feel beautiful.”

Paste: Who are some of your style idols?

Houghton: I love Emma Watson’s style. She always looks so classy, dignified and feminine. Audrey Hepburn had a very simple and stunning style to her as well. I love studying time periods and learning about why they dressed the way that they did.

Paste: Is there a movie, TV show, music video, etc. that you remember in particular as having amazing fashions?

Houghton: I remember watching Breakfast At Tiffany’s and then literally recreating the “Moon River” scene for my song “17 Again.” I also love Penny Lane’s style in Almost Famous. So iconic!
