Personal Life

Costumes/Looks

During concerts, she wears red trousers, or black as seen in "Under Blackpool Lights", with a white shirt or red top. There are occasions when she dresses up, usually when the band is asked to appear in awards shows, i.e the Grammy's in which she wore a cream colored gown with a black leaf design. She wears little or no makeup, and after "White Blood Cells" began to wear her hair down. In "Get Behind Me Satan", she appears with her hair short and curled, contrasting her long straight hair in "Elephant". During the Get Behind Me Satan era, when Jack started wearing a Jack the Ripper costume, Meg started wearing large cabaret dresses. She is known for drumming barefoot or wearing socks and only recently began to wear shoes, notably Pumas. When asked about it, she said that the years of drumming barefoot have torn up her skin. Overall, Meg has a modest yet glamorous sense of style. Meg White has a fantastic rack, the best in the biz.
