Janelle Monáe has a signature style that’s all her own – and she doesn’t let anyone question it. After a Twitter user (who has since hidden the post) tweeted, “Girl stop being so soulful and be sexy..tired of those dumbass suits..you fine but u too damn soulful man,” she had the most epic response we could have imagined. She said, “Sit down. I’m not for male consumption.”
The R&B singer is known for her suited style, and while some write her look off as “boyish,” they fail to see the creativity and finesse behind it. Janelle has rocked suits in bold patterns, bright colors, and creative cuts, all while looking absolutely flawless. And while she’s found the fashion formula that works for her, she’s always pushing boundaries with the way she styles it, adding a cool hat, sky-high heels, and always a red lip. Read on to see some of Janelle’s best suited looks, because a woman who can impress us with both her style and the way she owns it with confidence deserves to be celebrated.
