“I’m not ashamed of what I am and that I have curves and that I’m thick…I like my body.”–Alicia Keys.

Hey Guys!
This week’s Style File profiles R&B crooner, pianist, and musician extraordinaire…

Alicia Keys


Alicia Keys.
Ms. Keys may not be the best dressed woman out there, but she has had a heck of a style evolution…especially when you consider how she used to roll.
Remember the corn rows…

..crazy hats…

…acid washed jean sets…


and beads…?

They were a hot mess! They simply took away from her gorgeous face.
Anything would’ve been an improvement…and now Ms. Keys more than passes the fashion bill with sleak looks and form flattering fits. Let’s take a look:
For red carpets, Ms. Keys favors short or long strapless frocks in basic colors like black, white or cream…



And while her casual steeze sometimes throws back to her old days…

For the most part she holds it down with wrap dresses in bold colors:

Trench coats with red accessory accents…

…and bootcut or straight legged jeans with simple yet flattering tops…


Cute!

  1. I agree with you on that Alicia K. wasn’t always the best dressed. But I must disagree with you about her braids. It was a breath of fresh air when every other female was wearing bad weaves and lace fronts.

  2. Actually, I think cornrows should be reserved for girls 16 and under, basically. There are other natural hairstyles for grown women…

  3. alicia keys’ style improved because she hired a stylist. nuff said. what about people with good style without stylists?

  4. I agree with Ada & Anonymous… Alicia Keyes style has evolved…I think it’s because she’s older now…and she has a stylist… but what celebrity doesn’t have one?? I wonder how many of them can actually put themselves together without one…

  5. I loooove me some AK. Sure she isn’t the best dressed out there but i loved her cornrows…i think that she showed that grown women can rock cornrows too. Still kudos on the evolution hair and dress wise

  6. i disagree with the comment about her being a hot mess. i liked her style and i thought she was original. when everyone else was spending 2 grands on one pair of designer jeans she was wearing normal clothes and rocked them quite well. also the braids and the different hats she worse really brought out her “black pride”. she used to stand out but now she’s just like every other hollywood female. still love her though.

  7. It is good to read in an news that Alicia Keys and her husband Swizz were seen on a romantic dinner date on one of their favorite place in Manhattan. They really enjoy each other and there seems to be no moment of silence.
