    If you're shooting in terms of the purest Rock and Roll style and the people who have maintained their look throughout time, then turn to people like Vivienne Westwood. Even though she's not a musician, she's a fashion icon and one of the people who helped start the grunge and punk rock movement in the 70s and 80s. Then the Marc Jacobs aesthetic even though it's more serial now. It's still punk rock because he does what he wants.

    That look is best if you have big breasts and nice legs. There are plenty of her costumes from that movie that are the iconic white dress. You can add some wires in the dress and shape them to permanently keep the dress up, like it is being blown up, if you like.
