6 Alex Turner pictures that we'll never get over

While the Arctic Monkeys were beginning to take off, with tracks like “Mardy Bum” and “Fluorescent Adolescent,” Turner was also fronting The Last Shadow Puppets alongside bandmate, Miles Kane. By 2008, people were falling in love with the shaggy-headed Sheffield rocker.

Name a more iconic duo…we’ll wait. Alex Turner and Alexa Chung were every Tumblr girl’s goals. And while the knee-high socks and denim cutoffs can be left in the mud at Glasto 2008, we’ll never forget this British love story.

By 2012, after releasing Suck It and See, Turner had parted ways with his mop-top and ushered in an era of slicked-back seduction to coincide with the arrival of AM, an album that marked a new era of sophistication for the band. Taking the stage at Coachella in 2012, Turner fully leaned into his greaser-inspired garb with perfectly quaffed hair and a lot of leather.

From the years 2011-2014, everyone wanted to be the Vine-famous (yes, lol, Vine) Arielle Vandenberg. The actress and Vine personality dated Turner in the height of his AM era…leaving every high school Arctic Monkeys fanatic wondering, ‘Is ‘Arabella’ really Arielle!?’”

In 2016, Alex and The Last Shadow Puppets reunited to put out their first album in eight years. Upon reigniting the band, Turner was back to his long-haired ways, except with a new level of polished British charm…and of course, a leather jacket.
