Style File Evolution Edition: Alicia Keys

“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!
