Whether it is a matter of personal evolution, artistic expression or maybe just doing it for some level of notoriety, from time to time we hear about celebrities and famous people who have "gone Goth."
No matter what the reason may be, at the very least, it makes for an interesting concept.
Here are a few notable examples.
Taylor Momsen
This pretty little blonde has gone full-circle from cute, good girl to punk rock princess.
Kristen Stewart
It only seems natural that this "Twilight" series star might delve into Gothic culture and fashion.
Abigail Breslin
The cute, sweet little star who had her breakout role in "Little Miss Sunshine" is all grown up and more than a bit edgy in some recent photo shoots.
Rooney Mara
This talented actress brings her dark side to the forefront in her role as Lisbeth Salander in the "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" series.
Evan Rachael Wood
She once dated Marilyn Manson and is no stranger to dark fashions.
