Paramore's Hayely Williams revealed that she gets strange looks because of her appearance.

The tangerine-haired singer still receives disapproving glances from ''dudes in suits'' for her brightly coloured and tattoos.

She explained in an interview with NME magazine, ''It happened more when we were younger and our band was touring around in a van. Funny how when people see you on TV, suddenly you have a right to look and act however you choose but any 'lesser' person doesn't get that right. So stupid."

''We still get looks, especially if my hair or clothes are particularly on point. Mostly at airports. Dudes in suits do not like it when a pack of what they regard as weirdos get upgraded to business class," she said.

The 24-year-old singer advised her younger fans to not be afraid to show "self-expression through music and fashion".

She added, ''I think everyone has a right to represent themselves exactly the way they want. People shouldn't be getting hurt over something that personal to them. Don't let anyone scare you out of being the person you are or the person you want to be.''

The band are currently at No.1 in the UK Albums Chart.
