The Look: Janelle Monae

I’m not sure if anyone else has noticed it, or if anyone else even cares, but this chick Janelle Monae is always wearing the same look. What is it with B-list celebrities having their looks on repeat (like our girl Dani from ANTM).

While I understand it’s a recession, but this IS getting kind of old. Nevertheless; I can’t hate…it is a pretty cute look.
Janelle rocked it last night at the Grammys...the only difference is she threw a tailored men's blazer over top...how very red carpet of you Janelle

Here she is rocking the look April 3rd, 2008 at a showcase at Blender Theater in New York


...and again at Howard University's Homecoming in 2007



...AND yet again at a performance Jan. 28th 2008 at Spotlight live NYC

Looking to achieve the look yourself? Start with a starched stark white blouse with some front detailing like this one we found at Karen Millen in Georgetown

Then add some saddle shoes, high waisted black trousers, and post earring and your ready to rock out like Janelle.

  1. I looove Janelle Monae! But... I was waiting for somebody to say something about that damn outfit lol. She is a pretty chick I bet if she changed it up it would do wonders for keeping her in the public eye.

  2. I love janelle Monae. I'm guessing Having different looks is not as important to her as it is to you. i'm sure she will have a different look for her next project. This is just branding and building brand recognition. Its a tough market for music.

  3. actually it's a uniform she wears so people know it's about the music not the clothes. i think that is pretty dope!
