Crazy, Sexy, Cool - Even in her tomboy gear, Aaliyah had a confident allure. Rather than disappearing in the oversized jersey, shades and baggy jeans, there was mystery that drew fans in and made you want to know more. (GLOBE PHOTOS, INC)

Aaliyah in Honey - The role of aspiring choreographer Honey Daniels was meant to be played by Aaliyah before the singer's tragic death had producers scrambling to recast the part. It eventually became the role that put Jessica Alba on the map. (Photo: Art Walters/Globe Photos Inc)

Aaliyah - The late Aaliyah started out as the 14-year-old protégé of R. Kelly, who produced, wrote and appeared on her triple-platinum 1994 debut, Age Ain't Nothing But a Number. After rumors of a secret marriage with Kelly broke, Aaliyah split with him, both romantically and musically, but kept up her massive sales and critical acclaim on follow-up albums One in a Million and Aaliyah.
