In preparation for the BET Awards, we wanted to jump in to see how one style star in particular, Janelle Monae, has evolved over the years. Now, some may say that she hasn’t shown much ‘evolution’ since her earlier days, however, this girl brings a whole new definition to what it means to be a fashion ‘it’ girl.As an avid follower of Janelle Monae long before she became a popularized name, I have always loved two main things about her style: 1) She keeps it simple with black, white and red, and 2) she consistently borders between feminine and menswear. It’s nothing to see her at an awards show in an expertly tailored menswear-inspired tuxedo, followed by front row seats to a fashion show clad in feminine and dainty dresses.
