Nineties singer and rapper looks like she hasn't aged a day as she sports the same iconic hairstyle thirty years after her massive solo career
She rose to fame after having a string of hits as a rapper in the 1990s.
And Betty Boo looks like she hasn't aged a day in those thirty years as she continues her music career.
Now 53, the music star is instantly recognizable as she still sports her iconic hairstyle from her solo career.
Betty, whose real name is Alison Moira Clarkson, was big in the early 1990s with hits such as Doin' The Do, Where Are You Baby? and let me take you there.
She often wore a chic style, complete with colorful outfits reminiscent of the 1960s, and was known for her sassy and tough attitude.

Her 1990 debut album, Boomania, went platinum and in 1991 she won a BRIT award for the British Breakthrough Act.
Betty's follow-up album GRRR! It is Betty Boo who has failed to crack the Top 50 and has not released a solo record in three decades.
The rap star was forced to leave show business altogether in her mid-20s as she grieved for her mother and other family members.
She said The Telegraph: 'I had no choice. I had to leave the sector. It was the right choice because there was no way I was ever going to (continue working). I mourned my mother for a very long time
'It was a total tragedy. And if I'm honest, I was in automatic mode and couldn't deal with my own grief. In the back of my mind I thought, “Yes, I'm going to make music again.” But I never did that.”
But while she retired from her solo career, Alison continued to make music behind the scenes.
She co-wrote the song Pure and Simple, which became Hear'Say's big hit debut single after they won the reality series Popstars in 2001.
She has also written songs for Girls Aloud, Dannii Minogue, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and the BBC children's show The Tweenies.

Alison released her first album in three decades, Boomerang, in October last year, featuring the singles Get Me to the Weekend and Shining Star.
Classic Pop magazine describes the LP as a collection of “bangers as gloriously floor-filling as anything in her hip-hop heyday.”
Alison previously explained that she got lucky after meeting rappers Public Enemy at her local fast food restaurant.
Betty was part of The She Rockers and signed with the independent record label Music of Life at the time.
She said she managed to get a spot on Public Enemy's tour after the schoolgirls confronted the hip-hop group in McDonald's.
She said: “I thought it was… it was a really great outlet for me to express myself. When I was 15, I discovered Salt-N-Pepa and from then on it was all over.
'I wanted to be them. I was half Malaysian, half Scottish. No one really looked like me. Although I look quite European now, I looked very different than I do now.

'I think I was 17. I must have been 17, yeah, we were just walking past McDonald's and saw Public Enemy.
'On stage they are very radical and quite terrifying figures, but we just couldn't believe we had seen these rap titans in our local McDonald's!
'I said “Oi!” and they said, “Oh, you guys are obviously rappers, come and spit a 16” and (Professor) Griff started beatboxing.
'They said, “Great, we want to produce your records.” We were on tour with them, it was great.'
