According to Emily Jupp of '' The Independent '' , despite various changes in musical direction , an " unconventional fashion sense " has been a constant in Diamandis 's career . In the video to " How to be a Heartbreaker , " she " subverts the norm " by wearing more clothes than male models in the background ; she reflected that " I do n’t think it suits me to wear very little clothing , it just would n’t feel right . I ’d rather people listen to what I have to say instead of staring at my bum . " In 2011 , when promoting '' The Family Jewels '' , Diamandis described her fashion styles as " vintage , cheerleader , and cartoon . " Four years later , she described her costumes then as " very badly put together vintage , kind of glittery ensemble " , and her outfits for '' Froot '' as a " mix of '70s with digital fiberware ... something surreal and '70s . " She has been described as a " pop enigma " , an artist who " never felt like she belonged to the masses " and one with a cult following . It was written in '' Billboard '' in June 2016 that she is among " pop artists with major fanbases in the U.S. and a consistent stream of excellent music who are nonetheless kept a tier below these other musicians in terms of national presence , because they never had that one hit that everyone simply has to know them from " . She told Vice News in February 2016 that " I 'm not really a pop starry person . Stars are people who equal celebrity culture . I do n't really feel part of that at all " . Diamandis estimates that gay people comprise 60 % of her concert audience ; she attributes her status as a gay icon to her campness and sense of humour , in addition to lyrics on being a societal outsider . In 2012 , she won the Best Music Award at gay magazine '' Attitude '' 's award show . She headlined an NYC Pride event in June 2016 in the aftermath of the Orlando nightclub shooting , wearing a rainbow-striped cape . Diamandis plays down her popularity in the gay community in order to avoid sounding like a " cliché pop star " and hopes for a time when acceptance will mean that people do not label themselves by their sexuality
