#12: Sade Adu
With the release of Diamond Life (1984), Sade Adu became the definition of elegance and cool style. We all loved her soothing jazz vocals, but she hated the fame culture. She made a clear decision to keep her personal life completely private. Between her successful albums, she simply disappeared to her quiet cottage in the English countryside for years. She raised her child, cooked meals, and lived an ordinary life.
