With comparisons merging between Lauryn Hill, Annie Lennox, James Brown, David Bowie and Andre 3000, multi Grammy nominee neo-soul singer Janelle Monáe (born 1 December 1985) from Kansas, US also known as her android counterpart Cindi Mayweather has collaborated with the likes of Estelle and Fun adding her unique touch.

It was her move to Georgia, US after studying at drama school that her career really kicked off. Meeting Bad Boi of Outkast in 2001, together they created the Wondaland Art Society with like-minded individuals. Describing her genre as bending, Monáe meanders through elements of psychedelic soul, jazz and old school R&B while remaining a conceptualist through and through. Using the alter ego of android Cindi Mayweather from the year 2719 who is on the run from her home planet of Metropolis for breaking the law and finds herself on earth falling in love with human Anthony Green, a storyline which provided the backbone of her debut self EP “The Audition” in 2003.

With a little nudge from friend Big Boi, Sean Combes aka P. Diddy and CEO of Bad Boy Records checked out Monáe’s Myspace page and was mesmerised. In 2007 she signed with his label and released her second EP “Metropolis: The Chase Suite” the following year, a continuation of the Mayweather saga. The EP earned her a nomination at that year’s Grammy’s with the single “Many Moons” for “Best Urban/Alternative Performance”.

In 2010 Monáe released her debut full-length album “The ArchAndroid” peaking at number 17 in the US charts featuring the singles “Come Alive (The War of the Roses)”, “Tight Rope” and “Cold War”. Three years later came the release of her second album “Electric Lady” which saw her collaborations include Solange Knowles, Miguel and Prince. Monáe has also enjoyed success featuring on Estelle’s “Do My Thing” and Fun.’s “We Are Young” as well as sharing the stage with: Katy Perry, No Doubt, Bruno Mars and Red Hot Chilli Peppers to name a few.

A Cover Girl spokeswoman, style icon with her signature fashion inspired by Grace Jones and Josephine Baker and now adds label owner as 2015 saw Monáe joins forces with Epic Records and CEO LA Reid to launch the independent label Wondaland Art Society.

Live reviews

Janelle Monáe has to be the greatest entertainer on planet earth right now. This show was the perfect combination of music, dance, political rabble rousing, comedy, audience participation and downright sheer fun. Let’s start with the music. Her new album has taken her in a slightly more hip hop direction but the blend of the new music with the older stuff was perfectly judged and delivered by crack musicians with an unbelievable energy and intensity. The 4 dancers, the costume changes and fantastic lighting effects augmented the visual experience without distracting from the music. A highlight was Janelle busting out her best Michael Jackson moves at the start of Make Me Feel. Her overtly political stance on minority rights especially for the LBGT community were given a good airing to joyfully enthusiastic encouragement from the audience but again this never got over bearing or distracting. There were moments of comedy most notably at the start of another new song where Janelle retook the stage swigging a bottle of wine and then uttered the song title Don’t Judge Me. Audience participation was prevalent throughout as the crowd seemed to be singing every word to every song but reached its peak when Janelle got 4 people from the audience on to the stage to get them to dance and prove they did indeed have the juice during the performance of I’ve Got The Juice. And then Janelle was not able to resist getting in to the crowd herself for the show’s encore Come Alive by doing an almost reckless crowd surf. The most telling sign that this girl had the crowd in the palm of her hand was the moment when she returned to the stage after her crowd surf without her hat. She stood in the pit with her hand outstretched and a mock reproachful expression on her face. Moments later the hat was dutifully returned by her adoring public. Faultless, joyful, peerless entertainment. 6 stars out of 5.

It's beginning to cool off as the shade begins to cover Grant Park. The skyline casts a long shadow over the lawn in front of the Petrillo Music Shell. Fans await who they have journeyed here for, Janelle Monae.

At times, living in Chicago is a segregated experience. But at the Tatse of Chicago, the city is united as one. North, South, and West all gather to celebrate summer and to take advantage of the incredible talent Chicago can attract for a free lakefront concert. This is why we live here, and we're all soaking it in. Finally, the band takes the stage. They're all dressed in white. It's clear we are in for more than just a concert, this will be a performance. Janelle comes out and the crowd erupts. She and the band rock through her set, dancing along the whole time. She throws in a few covers by James Brown and the Jackson 5. "I Feel Good" and "ABC" respectively. By any other artist, this would seem like pandering to a large crowd, but in this case, they integrate perfectly into the performance.

At one point she leaves the stage to grab a leather jacket. She's cool and she knows it. And during her show, she's hanging out with all of us, and we feel cool too.

Janelle Monáe has such a stage presence about her. She is energetic and gets the audience excited with the sultry sound of her lovely voice.

With her signature hair, tie and classic good looks she captivates the audience from the moment she steps on the stage. She could sing anything and it would sound so good. Not only is her voice amazing but she is the kind of performer that you feel a connection with on a personal level.

She seems so down to earth and grounded that you can't help but be transfixed on her through out her songs. The audience always seems to enjoy themselves, going wild after every song she sings. No one can seem to help but get lost in her music. It's always awesome to see a strong, independent woman take the stage and just take over the whole audience. When she says she is going to perform, she sets you up with a whole experience to remember. I doubt anyone who sees her in concert could say they had a bad time. It just wouldn't be possible with how good she is on stage. Janelle Monáe is one of the most interesting individuals I have ever heard or seen.

One of the smoothest, most self assured artists currently working the circuit is neo-soul starlet Janelle Monáe. With a considerable amount of cool and a vocal range to match, she has been delighting fans on both sides of the Atlantic with her classic live performance which really puts emphasis back onto the instrumental.

Known for being an incredibly strong female figure, Monáe has become accustomed with performing in a tuxedo as some statement of intent to prove she is just as worthy as her male counterparts. One thing she surpasses them on however is the amazing jazz vocal found on the likes of 'Givin Em What They Love' and 'Dance Apocalyptic'. She is a singer of surpassable sophistication and conducts herself in a manner befitting this reputation. Her abilities shine during a cover of 'ABC' by The Jacksons and demonstrates her influences of disco and funk. By the finale of 'Tightrope' the whole audience are intrigued and infatuated with Janelle in equal measure and from the satisfied look on her face this appears to be the exact outcome she was hoping for.

That's how we START the show.

If you know anything about Janelle Monae you know that she's more than a singer, songwriter, or fashion icon - she's everything.

Her set has steps she glides up and down, her dancers come and go with songs and costume changes, all while the band keep the hits coming and thumping.

There were at least 5 different moments where I thought "seriously, how's she going to top this?" and she did...everytime.

Pier 17 is an awesome venue and Janelle is the kind of act you see ANYWHERE, a beautiful venue is a bonus.

She leans heavily on her most recent (and most impactful?) album Dirty Computer, but there are splashes of Electric Lady and Archandroid splatter for the longer-lasting fans.

Don't miss Janelle if you have the chance to see her, she's a tour du force of entertainment with the chops, vocals, and badass attitude to back it up.

Thank you Janelle, you are a fucking hero

Janelle Monae's "Dirty Computer" Concert was beyond incredible. Her singing was fantastic, and she didn't sing all of her songs the exact way they were on the album (which was great because it added variety). She didn't lip-sync. Her dancing was awe-inspiring, of course, as were her back up dancers'.

Her outfits were completely in sync with her personality, and with the songs themselves. At points in the concert, she spoke a message or interacted with the audience; she made an effort to make sure that everyone "felt heard, felt seen, and felt loved" by her songs/concert.

The crowd environment was also very positive, which made the event feel safe and welcoming.

Side-note, St. Beauty (the opener) did a wonderful job, and made an effort to get the crowd pumped/involved. Their singing was also excellent.

The only downside to this concert was that it couldn't last forever.

Janelle Monáe was fabulous tonight, playing to a less than full venue with a crowd that took a little while to warm up. The band, the dancers, the visuals, her voice and THOSE COSTUME CHANGES — all great! The show was too much of her latest (poptastic) album and not enough of the crazy jazz-funk-hip-hop-rock-opera that characterised her early work but that’s just my tastes and can’t take away from what an amazing talent she is. My one real complaint is her ham-fisted speechifying, part of her being yet another musical talent to submit to today’s culture of ideology over aesthetic. My favourite bit: when she got four audience members to dance (very well) to prove that they’ve “got the juice”. Magic.

I never cry at concerts no matter how dear the artist is to me. BUT Janelle really got me teary eyed. Such a fantastic show with beautiful aesthetics. Janelle really cares about her fans and made it known that we were loved. You could literally feel the love radiating throughout the stadium. She is such a fantastic performer (she literally changed outfits 6 times in a blink of an eye and performed all of Dirty Computer/parts of Electric Lady/The ArchAndroid) and seems like such a genuinely cool person. Do not miss out on a Janelle Monae concert or else you will surely regret it forever!!

It's Janelle Monae, so you already know it was absolutely magnificent! From the band, to the dancers, to the openers! She even told me she liked my earrings! Everyone is welcome, amazing and powerful messages. Performance level made Beyonce shake! Everlasting talent & energy from everyone. Everything, every vocal, and every object was on point. Night to never forget.

The Pageant didn't do an excellent job on keeping the pit and walkways from overcrowding, but in front row, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience.

BISHHHHHHH!!! This was one of the BEST CONCERTS IVE EVER BEEN TOO!!! Janelle SANG AND DANCED HER ASS OFF you hear me!!! The vibe and energy made me feel LOVED AND WELCOMED!!! I love her to the moon and back!!! She is truly an AMAZING entertainer!!! She was worth every penny! The dancers, the band, her wardrobe... I could go on and on! Dirty Computer is a concert I will never forget!!! So glad I got to witness her GENIUS in this life time!

Love, Peace, & Shea Butter,

Janelle Monae, Kimbra Australian Co-Headline Tour Announced

By James Arnold-Garvey

UPDATE: Janelle Monae and Kimbra cancel Perth, add new Melbourne show, and announce venue change for Sydney — full details here!

Two of pop’s most eccentric figures, Janelle Monae and Kimbra , are teaming up and returning to Australia for a set of co-headline tour dates all around the country – and it’s happening next month!

It was 2012 when the Archandroid herself, Monae, last graced Australian shores as part of Vivid LIVE , bringing her full band and stunning live show with her. It was that same year Kimbra completed her largest solo tour of Australia to date, following her massive international success with that Gotye collab, Somebody That I Used To Know .

Now, though, the pair are teaming up for five huge dates at some of the country’s best venues. The Golden Electric Tour will feature intertwined joint and individual performances as both artists perform separate sets with their bands and take the stage together.

My Live Nation members’ pre-sale begins 10am this Monday, 14th April before general release tickets go on sale 10am Thursday, 17th April .

Janelle Monae, Kimbra Co-Headline Tour Dates

Friday, 16th May — CANCELLED Challenge Stadium, Perth

Saturday, 17th May — NEW SHOW The Forum, Melbourne Tickets: Via Live Nation

Monday, 19th May — NEW VENUE Opera House, Sydney Tickets: Via Live Nation

Wednesday, 21st May Convention Centre, Brisbane Tickets: Via Live Nation

Monday, 26th May The Plenary, Melbourne Tickets: Via Live Nation

Janelle Monáe is hoping to tour Australia with Kimbra

One of the coolest co-headline tours that never happened, might just find a second life

Following the release of her new album, Dirty Computer , Janelle Monáe has told Double J she'd like to tour Australia with Kimbra (who just released her own third album, Primal Heart ) to "make up" for the pair's ill-fated 2014 Golden Electric Tour.

"Yes, I cannot wait and I feel so bad," Monáe told Zan Rowe on Double J , for her only Australian interview behind her critically acclaimed third album .

"I really want to do it with Kimbra, who I adore and love. Just talked to her the other day so hopefully I can come back over there and make up for that."

Monáe never made it to the stage at the opening Perth show of 2014's Golden Electric Tour as she would up in hospital from an unspecified illness. She pulled out last-minute of a subsequent Melbourne show before the entire tour was cancelled, meaning audiences never got to see the crossover action hinted at in a promotional video of the two mashing Michael Jackson with Aretha Franklin.

" Dirty Computer is an album that, I hope, will take me around the world to connect with other Dirty Computers and I hear that Australia has a lot of them, so I will definitely be back there."

Janelle is touring her new album across the US, from June through to August. Meanwhile, Kimbra is currently touring Primal Heart around North America and is playing two Canadian festivals in July. Dear bookers Down Under, make this happen!

Q&A: Janelle Monae talks about freedom, how new album defines her and getting ready to tour again

Musician and actor Janelle Monae discusses album “The Age of Pleasure” and says recent criticism of her new, hyper-sexual form of expression doesn’t concern her. (July 31)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — If you believe Janelle Monae ’s hyper-sexual expression is a front, think again.

These days, Monae is unapologetically living her truth in a bold manner while trying to avoid negativity. The star, once known for sporting custom-made suits, has shed that attire (at least for now) to nearly bare all, like on the cover of her latest studio album, “The Age of Pleasure,” where she’s seen swimming topless in a pool. It’s her first release since 2018’s “Dirty Computer,” which was nominated for album of the year at the Grammys.

In recent months, Monae hasn’t been afraid of risque looks and nudity. She revealed herself during an event celebrating the release of her single “Lipstick Lover” and again onstage at an Essence Music Festival set — which drew some social media criticism including from singer India Arie and rapper Uncle Luke. She also attended the 2023 Met Gala in a barely-there outfit.

For Monae, this is her time to be free.

Monae spoke recently with The Associated Press about her supportive mother, side-stepping criticism and teasing her upcoming North American tour, which kicks off Aug. 30 in Seattle. Other tour stops include New York and Nashville and she’ll wrap in Los Angeles in mid-October.

AP: Since you haven’t toured since 2019, was your recent Essence Festival performance a tune up for your upcoming tour?

MONAE: Yeah, we’re testing out the songs. You‘re getting them in your body. Right now, we don’t have a lot of muscle memory with the new songs. We haven’t toured them. I know if you come into the show, you’ll love the songs. But hearing them live is a different experience, especially when you’re putting them with songs from previous work. We’re basically just putting a show together based on what we feel is good. Sometimes you just don’t know until you get on stage.

AP: What do you want people to take away from your show?

MONAE: Tap into your free (expletive) energy. That’s rooted in self-love — not arrogance. Tap into that space and then take care of each other. That’s what I hope. With the shows that I do, and when I look out, it’s an experience. It’s like our own church. You want to take care of each other.

Even if your freedom doesn’t look like that person’s freedom, you understand that we’re fighting against something much bigger than us. We’re systemically fighting against something much bigger than us, so we got to band together, we got to stick together. We have to make sure that we’re showing up for each other. If we have privilege in certain areas, making sure that we’re lending a hand, lending a voice, amplifying a message.

AP: How has it been to walk in your truth while facing criticism about your racy performances from people like Arie and Uncle Luke?

MONAE: That has absolutely nothing to do with me. I love everybody. I’m in the age of pleasure.

AP: When did you feel comfortable with living life the way you want without caring about others’ opinions?

MONAE: It’s not like I don’t care what people think. I care what some people think. I don’t care what everybody thinks. That’s the same when it comes to music. When you make a new song, I can’t go soliciting everybody’s opinions about the song. By the time I get back to the second pass of it, it’s all over the place. Everybody’s going to have an opinion. For me, it’s like, whose voice do I trust? Who do I know that loves me, cares about me, whose taste do I like, who actually is evolved enough to even understand what it is that I’m doing? Who understands nuance?

You shouldn’t care what anybody has to say. You just care what the right people have to say and everything else is muted.

AP: Who are those right people for you?

MONAE: Family. Close friends.

AP: In your journey, your mother has been a huge supporter. Whenever you have fallen under certain criticisms, how has she helped you navigate the critics?

MONAE: My mom is like ride or die. I have to tell her like “Mom, you don’t need to defend me. You don’t need to defend my life or my decisions.” For her, I’m her baby. Like any mama bear, you might get punched in the eye if you say something. You might. But I’ve calmed her down over the years. For the most part, we mostly respond to love. It’s a lot of people that love where I am and who I am and what I’m doing, and they feel really empowered and inspired by it, and that makes my mom proud, and it makes me happy.

AP: How do you avoid the naysayers?

MONAE: I’m too busy living life to be distracted. The positive things are always amazing too, but I also don’t go fishing for that. One of the things about being in the age of pleasure is being present and making sure that I’m dipping in on social media, saying what I need to say, showing love, saying “thank you,” putting up my art and leaving, going to go create more things and make more memories and more experiences.

I’m in the middle of putting together a tour for North America. We haven’t been on tour since 2019. For me, I have a lot of things that keep me busy. I’m practicing guitar. I’m having the best sex of my life. I’m happy. Even in the middle of all that’s going on in this world, I’m finding time to steal joy and to center joy and to stay surrounded by the people that bring me joy and that I can bring joy too.

AP: How did “Age of Pleasure” define where you are in life?

MONAE: I wanted to create a soundtrack to our lifestyle. I think this album like all my albums reflect exactly where I am at that time. Each album will let you know where I was in my evolution process, what things I had to unlearn, what things I learned. I love that. I love that you can always look at an artist working, sort of see what they were on at that time.

Trending on Billboard

The Age of Pleasure will arrive on June 9 via Atlantic Records. In an interview with Rolling Stone , the singer explained that the record is inspired by the sounds of the Black diaspora of then and now.

“It was inspired by all of my friends, my community of folks who are from South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, the Caribbean, Atlanta, L.A., Chicago,” she said. “Seeing all of us together in our Blackness, in the love that we had in our eyes for each other. People from the continent f–k around with trap from Atlanta. You know what I’m saying? I love how the diaspora — we talk to each other.”

Set List: Janelle Monáe's The Age of Pleasure Tour

In describing her latest album The Age of Pleasure to Apple Music, Janelle Monáe called it a “soundtrack to a lifestyle of joy—of having pleasurable moments that center us and help us not take things so seriously.” That’s the energy she’s bringing to The Age of Pleasure Tour, which kicked off on August 30 at Seattle's WAMU Theater. Monáe said she works to establish an almost spiritual sense of community, acceptance, and togetherness. “I love looking out into the audience and seeing how special they look, how kind and accepting they are to each other, and how freely they express themselves and move to the songs,” she says. “This tour is going to be a world that people can step into and live in, and [that] hopefully makes them love the album even more.” Whether you’re getting ready for an upcoming show or reminiscing about one you recently attended, explore Monáe’s set list and put yourself in the crowd.

Janelle Monae Cancels Tour Dates in Australia, in Need of “Medical Supervision”

Bad news for Janelle Monae fans. The "Tightrope" singer, 28, was forced to cancel shows in Australia this week due to illness.

Monae was down under for her Golden Electric Tour , tweeting on Wednesday, May 14, "Dubai bye my friend. Melbourne, Australia bound."

Related: PHOTOS: Janelle at the Met Gala

While she made it to the area before falling ill, Monae reportedly cancelled a weekend show at The Forum after the band had already been assembled in front of a packed crowd. Billboard reports she is being held in Melbourne for "medical supervision."

There has been little information as to what the Grammy nominee is dealing with, but she has already canceled the rest of her scheduled Australian dates. Her official website offers no explanation and lists her next show as a May 31 gig in Philadelphia.

Monáe recently told Rolling Stones in an interview that “being an artist gets lonely” and the new album has helped to calm her anxiety.

“I think being an artist gets lonely,” Monáe said. “Most people don’t understand what’s going on in my brain. Community has been so helpful to me; it’s beautiful that I have a title called The Age of Pleasure because it actually re-centers me. It’s not about an album anymore. I’ve changed my whole f------ lifestyle.”

The 25 Most Stylish Musicians of 2023

Doja cat flexed her wicked sense of fashion alchemy, beyoncé brought disco trends back, and blackpink applied for a full-time gig as “coolest band on the planet” — here are artists who have taken sartorial genius to a new level.

Doja Cat arrives at the Billboard Women in Music Awards on Wednesday, March 2, 2022, at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles.

TO QUOTE HIP-HOP legend and fashion trendsetter Slick Rick, “When it comes to style, either you have it or you don’t.” These days, “having it” matters more than ever; style and music have never been so inextricably linked. So, we’ve decided to rank the 25 most stylish musicians in the world — from Beyoncé reinstating looks from the Seventies and Eighties in her Renaissance era, to rapper Dawn continuing to evolve classic hip-hop silhouettes in his single “Stupid Cool,” to Rosalía balancing soft and hard (or as she describes it, “ toma y daca , give and take”) in her Motomami tour wardrobe. These musicians epitomized style with distinction and personality, telling stories with clothing while intertwining their own identities into every look.

For Rolling Stone ’s second annual Most Stylish Musicians list, we selected a panel of voters from throughout the worlds of fashion, music, and culture. They were asked to pick and rank 20 musicians, with the definition of “stylish” being up to each individual voter. Have any disagreements with our picks?

Her tight silhouettes have become a reliable — some might say a predictable — staple for the singer. But when it’s that easy to look that good, who can complain? If anything, Dua Lipa’s ability to look effortlessly flawless in a skintight bodysuit, like the black, crystal-embroidered piece designed by Casey Cadwallader of Mugler for her Future Nostalgia tour, is enough to keep her on our list for years to come. “The Mugler woman can be pretty much anything,” Cadwallader explains. “I think she’s a pretty bold and outgoing person. She’s not afraid to express herself, but comes in many different incarnations.” Lipa not only exemplifies the high standards set by Cadwallader, but her ability to display his looks, both subdued and ostentatious, have become unmatched in recent years. When she walked in Balenciaga for its second couture show under creative director Demna Gvasalia, she kept it poised in a room populated by some of the hardest-to-please folks in the game, gliding past rows of skeptical glances, unfazed and instantly chic. And in her flurry of eye-grabbing looks, from biker babe in Courrèges and Acne leather to moon walker in Diesel, she’s become a role model and guide for the next generation of musicians, taking Caroline Polachek on tour with her and making her feel like a musical and fashion equal.

Cardi has always specialized in bringing Bronx fire to the world of high fashion, being down-to-earth, clever, fun, and elegant at the same time. Her 2022 wasn’t as huge as other years, showcasing moments here and there in Alaïa jumpsuits and Paco Rabanne sets. But as any civilized style maven knows, sometimes quality matters more than quantity, and her looks last year always hit the mark. Cardi’s Met Gala dress, designed and accompanied by Donatella Versace herself, was a master class in subtle grandeur. “I usually go big,” she said at the time. “This time I wanted clean-cut but never simple because Versace’s never simple.” Inspired by the “more is more” attitude of New York and hip-hop in the Nineties, the simplicity of the silhouette was oppositional to cascading layers of jewelry, a second skin of curb and Figaro chains, complete with Versace emblem coins decorated throughout. “This is a fucking competition, and we are going number one,” she declared moments before stepping onto the carpet. Cardi also understands the ways in which historical resonance can also be an effective way to turn heads; she showed that by dipping into the couture archive of fashion house Mugler for pieces shown in her summer single, “Hot Shit.” “Mr. Mugler was one of the first designers to take a major chance on me,” she opened up on Instagram after the designer’s passing. She might not be in complete regalia every week, but as she raps on the single, “Either way you slice it, bottom line, I’m the top bitch.”

The world went appropriately nuts when Beyoncé announced her upcoming Renaissance tour, and for good reason. From the visuals we’ve seen since her landmark 2022 album dropped, Beyoncé and her stylist Marni Senofonte are going to give us a show for the ages. Beyoncé’s Renaissance-era fashion has been a blazing blend of late-Seventies Studio 54 allure, futuristic drag, and a whole lot of body. Last year, she showcased devilish corsets by Luis De Javier, padded sets by Dolce and Gabbana, La Perla lingerie, a chain garter by Natalia Fedner, pleated gowns from Gucci, Alaïa jumpsuits, and custom pieces from what often feels like every brand under the sun. When your idea of accessorizing means riding a horse into a bar like Bianca Jagger, or carrying a matching silver laser like Jane Fonda in Barbarella, you’ve already left the rest of the pack way behind. “There are so many different versions of her,” her longtime stylist Zerina Akers said recently, alluding to the challenge of finding new ways to collaborate with an artist who has been on top for such a long time. “How can I, as a stylist, find that new version?” Why isn’t Queen Bey a little higher on the list? Only because her 2022 left us so psyched to see what she has in store for 2023. Beyoncé does not know the meaning of arriving quietly, but she does know how to tease a crowd hungry for more.

Harry Styles

Decades of musicians have cultivated sequins, feathers, and tailored suiting in their performances, but to a new generation of music fans, Harry Styles’ fashion choices go beyond replicating history to create some of his own — just as the music on his 2022 album, Harry’s House, pulled from a wide array of sounds both obscure and familiar and made them seem new. As Gucci noted in the materials that accompanied one of its many collaborations with the singer, Styles exhibits “masculine vanity without hypocrisy and false scruples dictated by convention,” with a sense of theatricality that “transforms the men’s wardrobe into a platform of freedom.” A huge part of that genius can be seen in his ability to blend the iconography of the rock greats with his own gender-blending flair — like the rainbow paillette jumpsuit and flamingo-pink coat he wore at Coachella last year, which brought to mind Thin White Duke-era David Bowie and disco Mick Jagger, or the custom éliou glasses he wore in the video for “Music for a Sushi Restaurant,” an obvious shout-out to Elton John. Styles even went full Elton in the clip for “As It Was,” in which he appears draped in a vibrant-red Bianca Saunders jacket and Dries Van Noten scarf, a modern oversize silhouette emulating John’s tighter sartorial looks from the 1970s. Styles’ heroes have, of course, taken notice. When you’ve been allowed access to the closet of Stevie Nicks herself, you are clearly doing something right. “She knows what you need,” Styles said. “Advice, a little wisdom, a blouse, a shawl.”

As the first member of BTS to release a solo album, 2022’s critically lauded Jack in the Box, J-Hope understood that expectations were sky-high when he stepped onstage alone for the first time, at Lollapalooza. Unsurprisingly, the singer and rapper delivered, both with his excellent new music and the newfound edge of his look that night. J-Hope literally had fans gasping at his all-black Louis Vuitton garb, drop shoulders, distressed T-shirt, biker-style gloves, and oversize logo-embossed denim. “I realized I wanted to show more dancing, which you can consider as my main foundation,” J-Hope told Rolling Stone last year, underscoring his feeling that onstage silhouettes mean everything. Now performing on his own, his style is bigger, bolder, and louder than ever. “I realized that it could be tough to tell some of these stories through music with the existing image and vibe of J-Hope,” he said. “I wanted people to realize that J-Hope isn’t limited to bright things. He can do these concepts and has a wide spectrum. I wanted to call attention to this ability by challenging myself.” J-Hope’s all-black ensemble made him look tougher than we would’ve expected a few years ago, and it’s clearly part of a larger aesthetic transformation he’s going through as he stakes out solo territory. In the symbolism-heavy video for his recent single, “Arson,” he stumbles through a post-apocalyptic world draped in VEERT pearls and a custom white jumpsuit by designer Bajowoo, emerging from smoke and fire with his clothes and Converse sneakers scorched and torn-looking, decidedly cooler than before he went in. “It has the fire, the passion that I wanted this album to possess,” he said. J-Hope is writing a chapter of his career, and fashion is a huge part of it.

Billie Eilish

In 2021, Billie Eilish did something many thought she’d never do — she put her body on display, appearing in pink and nude-toned lingerie for the cover of British Vogue. Gasp! After years of being camouflaged in oversize attire, Eilish made the mundane act of showing a little skin in Gucci and Mugler feel revolutionary. “It’s all about what makes you feel good,” she said, addressing the haters. Billie wears what she wants, and looks good doing it. At the LACMA Gala in November, she arrived head-to-toe in Gucci nightwear, a blend of her traditional loose-fitting duds with a nod to her early logo-mania days. At the EMA awards a month earlier, she did the same, opting for an oversize sleepwear set that was light-years from the polished get-ups one should present on the red carpet. It was another gutsy move that felt just right. As she preps to perform at the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival this fall, we can anticipate her year stylistically will be filled with the same f*ck you attitude fans love.

Kendrick Lamar

Whether it’s in music or fashion, hip-hop icon Kendrick Lamar is an artist who always has something to say. At last summer’s edition of the Glastonbury Festival, one of the U.K.’s biggest concert events, Lamar deftly dramatized the burden that can sometimes come with being rap royalty, taking the stage in a custom-made titanium and pavé-diamond crown by jewelers Tiffany & Co. — the same one he wore on the cover of his latest album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. As his performance went on, fake blood flowed down his face that left his white button-down shirt soaked in deeply metaphorical red. “They judge you, they judge Christ/Godspeed for women’s rights,” he rapped, an apparent allusion to the Supreme Court’s recent decision overturning Roe v. Wade. It’s just one potent example of how in Lamar’s world, style is the vessel that serves a larger message. His shirt that night was a Louis Vuitton piece designed by the late Virgil Abloh, a godfather of luxury streetwear who made history as the brand’s first Black director. The crown was made in collaboration with Lamar’s close friend, producer and filmmaker Dave Free, who said it was a“godly representation of hood philosophies told from a digestible youthful lens.” Lamar not only made his point, he also looked cool doing it—Which he’ll more than likely continue into his Gov Ball set this year. The crown may get heavy, but he always wears it well.

Janelle Monáe

“Being a queer Black woman in America, someone who has been in relationships with both men and women – I consider myself to be a free-ass motherfucker,” Janelle Monáe once told Rolling Stone. In terms of fashion, her resolutely free-ass sensibility has made her one of the most innovative musicians around. Her style runs the gamut from suits to gowns, Victorian to futuristic, of this world and ready for the next one. “One thing [Janelle] gonna do is give you all the angles,” said her stylist Alexandra Mandelkorn. Monáe was a little bit off the radar during the pandemic years (we haven’t heard new music from her since her 2018 breakthrough opus, Dirty Computer). But she reentered the chat in full force last year, attending the CFDA Fashion Awards in a Thom Browne gown, showing up at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in vintage Gucci, and rolling through the Met Gala in a Ralph Lauren dress that moved gilded glamour forward. But it was the crimson Christian Siriano gown she wore to the premiere of Glass Onion that truly separated her from the pack, breaking away from her go-to angular black and white to balance her reliably campy persona with a decadent sense of elegance.

When Yves Saint Laurent developed the first pantsuit for women in 1967, he was both celebrated and ridiculed. But he revolutionized womenswear all the same. Last fall, Solange kept his tradition alive by appearing at the New York City Ballet’s Fall Fashion Gala in a Haute Couture suit by Balenciaga that brought to mind Saint Laurent’s iconic classics: nipped at the waist with broad shoulders and wide-leg pants, also found in the Saint Laurent’s modern adaptations by current creative director Anthony Vaccarello. The look’s sense of elegant authority fit the moment; Solange had just become the first Black woman to score a piece for the NYC Ballet, and her outfit that night shows how well she understands that fashion can be political. “Might I suggest you don’t fuck with my sis,” Beyoncé recently notes on the Renaissance single “Cozy.” We wholeheartedly agree.

Korean rappers have some of the best style going, and Dawn is leading the movement. Last year, the 28-year-old artist switched to a fiery-red hairdo, which fits perfectly with his audacious floral patterns and color combos, the wild and almost unfashionable accessories he favors, and his ability to morph into any persona he chooses through clothing. In the video for “Stupid Cool,” Dawn’s flurry of pieces like the bright pastel ERL puffer, Adidas track pants, Jacquemus pink overalls, Vetements tee, and Versace scarf are paired with actual clown shoes and a teddy-bear-shaped hat. It’s a borderline-campy look only Dawn can pull off, while making us envy his sense of humor and freedom.

A$AP Rocky has held the title of “best dressed man in hip-hop” for years now, and he always keeps finding ways to challenge the expectations that come with such elite status. Case in point: the video for his late-2022 single “Shittin’ Me.” A$AP sits in a busy high-rise office wearing a gray blazer, blue button-up, and red tie, as a staff of underlings buzz around him. Then, the camera pulls back to reveal that he’s rocking wide-leg drop-crotch cargos — the perfect touch to upend the staid setting. This kind of chic rule-breaking has made him a favorite for fashion houses like Dior and Raf Simons. Rocky’s greatest hits last year include a Raf Simons shorts-suit summer combo that he pulled off with ease, and a Comme des Garçon skirt and Martine Rose denim combo, something very few male rappers could get away with wearing. “Some people look at me strange as hell,” he told Rolling Stone. “That’s cool. A lot of things I do, it may not sit well at first, but eventually, they aren’t gonna have a choice but to get on the bandwagon.”

Björk has been an enigmatic fashion icon since she first came out of Iceland fronting the Sugarcubes in the late Eighties, and she’s still taking risks decades later. On the tour for her concert/theatrical project Cornucopia, she wore a 3D-printed couture piece by Iris Van Herpen onstage, and last year, in the visuals that accompanied her most recent album, Fossora, she rocked custom headpieces by James Merry that made her look like an avant-garde alien. “Each album always starts with a feeling that I try to shape into sound,” she wrote on Instagram. “This time around, the feeling was landing on the earth and digging my feet into the ground.” For the album’s several cover images, she is draped in fluorescent green by Burberry’s Riccardo Tisci, surrounded by what looks like flora from an alternate dimension. In another, she’s ruffled and folded in tones of teal by Korean designer Jisoo Baik, an image that suggests the singer is growing organically from a bed of fungi. “I’ve always taken inspiration from Björk’s imagination, creativity, and courage to experiment with music,” said Baik of working with the singer. “So the fact that she chose my clothes meant so much to me.” For Björk, such constant creative rejuvenation has always been her goal. “I just want to keep on going,” she said in an interview. “I get so easily bored, I have to find something new every fucking day.”

“I have embodied the slur ‘Black bitch’ and made a whole archetype out of it,” 24-year-old Florida rapper Doechii told Rolling Stone last year. “I see this Black girl, and she’s super powerful, creative, confident. She knows who she is. She doesn’t carry around weight. She’s just a boss.” That confidence was all over her breakout viral hit, “Yucky Bucky Fruitcake,” and it comes through in her uncompromising looks. Walking the red carpet at the 2022 VMAs in a Patrycja Pagas leather blazer, she showed she knows how to turn heads with low-key accessories, opting for a pair of black grillz by jeweler Alligator Jesus, and a choppy, pitch-black updo by celebrity hairstylist Dhairius Thomas. For her debut Tonight Show performance, she rapped the intro to her single “Persuasive” engulfed in a crocodile-toned gown, with layers of excessive fabric and matching knee-high boots, glamorously serving notice that even though her career is just getting started, she’s already in charge of her own future.

Omar Apollo

The Indiana-born Mexican American pop star’s style veers toward minimalism, but there’s always power in Omar Apollo’s simplicity. Check out the video for his hit single “Evergreen.” In the clip, Apollo builds a room on an empty stage and watches it fall in around him while wearing a distressed flannel shirt and peeling leather pants from the Balmain collection, featuring the phrase “Do you still buy magazines?” written in the same script as Kurt Cobain’s journals. “The styling for ‘Evergreen’ was relatively modest, which was deliberate,” says stylist Brandon Tan. “The song has a lot to do with vulnerability — the room built by Omar and then deconstructed — so there was definitely a through line of demolition, seen in the distressing details of the R13 flannel.” It’s the mark of a budding genius who knows he doesn’t need to shout to be noticed.

Rina Sawayama

As Rolling Stone’s Rob Sheffield said in his rave review of her 2022 album, Hold That Girl: “Rina Sawayama is everything you could pray for in a pop provocateur: rude, audacious, unpredictable, hilarious, blunt, with a mean streak and an omnivorous ear.” The same could be said of the Anglo Japanese singer-songwriter’s fashion sense. She effortlessly shape-shifts into whatever she wants you to see. From taking the stage in a polka-dot alien piece by Jean Paul Gaultier for The Tonight Show to looking cowboy chic in Dion Lee, Sawayama has the enviable ability to make anything her own. “When I first started out, I was very much in control of my image,” she said in a conversation with Shania Twain for Rolling Stone’s recent Musicians on Musicians issue. “I didn’t have any pictures from fans that were unflattering. I was trying to make sure that I look hot in everything.” Of course, the thought of a “bad” Sawayama photo is comical — whether she’s wearing Schiaparelli in the front row of Paris Fashion Week or Diesel behind the scenes during tour rehearsals. Even in her most self-consciously outlandish looks —like the archival Vivienne Westwood jumpsuit and feather boa she wore in what stylist Jordan Kelsey called “full homage to one of Elton’s amazing costumes over the years from Bob Mackie” — she always seems completely in her element.

FKA Twigs’ style is a decoction of vulnerability and fearlessness. Last year, she released “Thank You Song,” a ballad in which she sang, “I wanted to die, I’m just being honest/No longer afraid to say it out loud.” For many, the song brought to mind her lawsuit detailing the emotional, physical, and mental abuse she’d suffered during her relationship with actor Shia LaBeouf. In the song’s video, she appears in a soft-pink sweater and uniform-style skirt that is ripped and gashed, with safety pins straddling the plunging neckline, and deep stains on the edges of seams that appear to be pulling apart. Using fashion to make powerful personal statements comes naturally to the U.K. avant-pop artist, whose 2022 mixtape, Caprisongs, was one of the year’s most acclaimed releases. “You’ve got to have so much more about you than the way you look or your clothes,” she said, and she’s lived up to that statement over the past decade. In December, at the Red Carpet Fashion Awards, her charcoal Rick Owens dress and black face paint evoked an embattled hero rising from the ashes, which is a perfect metaphor for her own recent triumph.

Moses Sumney

Moses Sumney proves you don’t need splashy colors to make an impact. In his case, it’s the very lack of color that’s so striking. “Wearing all black has taught me discipline,” says the North Carolina-based Ghanaian American art-pop musician. Sumney doesn’t stray beyond a palette of onyx, jet, and the occasional charcoal, yet everything he does feels glamorous and theatrical. “It’s thinking about what’s going to move,” he says. “I appreciate that it, as a wearer, forces me to be a bit more disciplined and knowledgeable, but also, for the viewer, it creates a distinction.” Sumney gravitates toward draped looks and cuts that emphasize texture, fabric, and silhouette. Last year, he walked for Riccardo Tisci’s fall 2022 collection at Burberry in a corduroy-collar quilted set, and also attended the prestigious CFDA Awards with designer Willy Chavarria, suited in a piece that augmented (what else?) head-to-toe black with subtle elements of religious iconography (echoing Sumney’s background as the son of two Christian pastors). “Now I know really what it means for something to be silk,” he says, beaming. “I know what it means for something to be waxy and hold a shine, or for something to be more matte.”

It’s pretty obvious that Bad Bunny doesn’t have an overly serious view of fashion, and that’s exactly what makes him so entertaining. His sense of style always comes with a sense of humor, and his choices are just as unpredictable as his relentlessly evolving music. From appearing in The New York Times depicted as a matronly gardener in looks by designers INGLISH MOFFIN and Ernest Baker to the custom puffed Burberry shoulder dress, inspired by the brands classic trench, which he donned for his first Met Gala, El Conejo Malo always kept it boisterous and witty. “I searched for what was going on during the Gilded Age, but in my country, in Puerto Rico,” he said of his Met Gala look. It reminds us that there’s detailed thought behind his every wild decision, which is sure to continue in his Coachella performance this spring.

Tyler, The Creator

Fashion scrutinizers and fans love consistency, and Tyler, the Creator’s schoolboy-contemporary-meets-fashion-goblin aesthetic is one of the most dependable looks around. His style doesn’t waiver because he knows exactly who he is, and what works. “The fit I had on yesterday/Uniform necessities, multiples are er’thing,” he raps on the 2022 single “Come On, Let’s Go,” and he underscored that maxim by appearing in the visualizer for the song in one of his signature staple looks: loafers and socks, shorts suit, and an ushanka. Tyler opened his set at last summer’s Roskilde festival in a coffee-toned puffer, pale blue shorts, canary-yellow hat, and loafers, and then dressed in the exact the same outfit (give or take a few colors) for his set at the Made in America fest a few months later. Of course, this is all brilliantly intentional and self-aware. Recently, Tyler released a video that gave us a glimpse into what defines his style, noting his love for colored stones, quirky watches and pins, Louis Vuitton trunks, and how Supreme editorials helped him “understand shape and proportions.” Meanwhile, he has continued to grow his own Golf Wang and Golf Le Fleur lines, taking a hands-on approach so that every piece reflects his vision. “I still edit the look books,” he said in an interview. “I still make sure that the blacks and shadows are right. Like I still give a fuck about all of it.”

How does a band balance streetwear, glamour, and rock & roll all at the same time? When Blackpink dropped their much-anticipated “Pink Venom” video, not only did they prove it was possible, but they also compressed everything that makes them great into three minutes and 13 seconds: conceptual storytelling, distinct personal styles, and well-executed accessorizing. As Lisa raps with strutting self-awareness on their accompanying album, Born Pink, “Masked up, and I’m still in Celine/Designer crimes, or it wouldn’t be me.” It’s truth in advertising: Lisa is, in fact, a brand ambassador for the French fashion house. “Rather than emphasizing how cute or feminine they are,” a fan of the group told Rolling Stone for our 2022 Blackpink cover story, “Blackpink’s confidence seems to stem from certainty about themselves as individuals.” Their styles continue to evolve with the times. As the fashion world cycles back through the 1990s and 2000s, they’ve stayed a step ahead. In the video for “Shut Down,” they embrace trends like cropped jerseys, leather jackets, and low-rise denim overalls, while modernizing classic grunge ideas, like the way Jisoo wears a Givenchy stone-washed skirt set from the label’s fall-winter 2022 show. We can only anticipate what’s to come from Blackpink in the future, but for now, it’s clear that no band on the planet has merged so well with high-end fashion.

Lil Nas X had quite the year in 2022. After walking the carpet at the Grammys in custom Balmain, decked out in pearls and with a butterfly insignia stitched on the chest and arms, he took the stage to perform hits from his debut album, Montero, in looks inspired by Michael Jackson. “My whole career has been about breaking down doors,” he said in a video released to inaugurate his relationship with Coach, the high-end leather brand that created a full set of looks for Nas’ “Long Live Montero Tour.” Together, Nas and Coach creative director Stuart Vevers came up with a production that told the story of the rapper’s life and wild ride to fame — complete with a lifelike Coach-embossed horse that galloped onstage during the show. “The looks we created for Lil Nas X explore playful tensions between past, present, and future,” Vevers explained. “They reference our American heritage through the lens of Montero’s playful, expressive vision — combining the timelessness with futuristic.” Getting a luxury brand to create custom looks for a live performance is impressive, especially for an artist who’s been around for just a few years. But it only scratches the surface of what Nas has done through fashion. Few artists are so skilled at mixing simplicity and ostentation — from outlaw cowboy to gilded fabrics to sci-fi armors. And he’s just getting started, set to showcase more of his wicked style at Gov Ball later this year. “Style is a form of self-expression,” he said recently. “I feel like to get further in life, you have to shed skins.”

We’ve come to expect one-of-a-kind viral moments from Rihanna, but last year she found her most radical way to turn heads yet. First, there was the announcement of her pregnancy at the end of January, which she did by displaying her baby bump on a stroll through New York dressed in vintage Chanel and Vetements denim. A couple of months later, she appeared on the cover of Vogue fitted in a custom lace jumpsuit and Alaïa heels, another powerful celebration of her changing body that showed the world women can parade their pregnancies while radiating sensuality. The Vogue cover was also clever marketing, reminding consumers that the pop superstar also has her own lingerie brand. Perhaps her biggest fashion coup came at the Dior fall-winter show, where she appeared in nothing but a bra and underwear, with a black lace slip, leather trench and Amina Muaddi boots. Her appearance literally brought the event to a standstill, with attendees openly gazing at her stunning selection. When asked about causing the delay, her response was perfect: “No shit.”

Rosalia knows how to balance hard and soft – just see her landmark 2022 album, Motomami, and the blockbuster tour to support it. “I wanted the record to feel like an emotional roller coaster, which is what I was feeling at that point in my life,” Rosalía told Rolling Stone in her recent cover story. “I wanted that dynamic, that constant sensation of toma y daca, give and take.” At the beginning of each show, she steps out in a custom Dion Lee ensemble, a look that reflects the intensely ambitious and intimate feel of Motomami. The dichotomy between the singer’s broad leather shoulders and revealing silhouette, as well as the sharp contrast of vibrant colors and an otherwise black-and-white set, highlight the sense of personal and musical extremes Rosalía maps out during the set. There is something for everyone to relate to in her approach to fashion, just as there is in her music. Her understanding of harmony was on display on the red carpet at last year’s Latin Grammys, where she stepped out pairing a Miu Miu dress and skintight silhouette with satin pumps, large angular shades, and damp hair, a chic look with a subtle rock & roll edge. The designs Rosalía has served up this past year will live on for decades to come.

Doja Cat recently described her last album, Planet Her, as “controlled chaos,” adding, “I’m crazy about putting different genres into the same album or even into the same song.” That manic sense of clever, purposeful juxtaposition comes through in everything she does. Doja is such a pop-culture fixture at this point that it’s hard to believe that 2022 was her first year attending Paris Fashion Week. “My Fashion Week experience was special because I was able to get the message across to people that I am an explorer of art and fashion,” she said. At designer Thom Browne’s show, Doja was in the front row (nestled between the legendary Janet Jackson and fellow style savant Jaden Smith) sporting a tie-shaped gown. At the first official Paris runway show for the brand A.W.A.K.E. Mode, she was the center of attention in a modified gingham suit and gold body paint. The previous weekend, she appeared at the fall-winter Monôt show caressed in a black cutout dress and full alien face paint. “I love old silent films, weird dark art films and a whole strange melting pot of music,” her stylist, Brett Alan Nelson, told Rolling Stone. “I try very hard to not reference anything anyone will ever intentionally notice – but if I do – there is a reason and a purpose behind it, what that is, is for the viewer to figure out. After our major run in Paris for Couture where her red crystal look for Schiaparelli was plastered across all socials with a mixed reaction I had one thought that I needed everyone to read – have your opinion – say what you want . But … art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.” In any context, she can make the overstated feel natural and the mundane seem extravagant. “I like a performance when it’s not onstage,” she said recently. “I think it’s really fun. Life is too short, having the same hair and the same face all day.”

How does someone go from budding R&B star to full-fledged fashion king? In the case of Steve Lacy, it’s with a daring disregard for the sartorial status quo. The “Bad Habit” singer knows his way around an outfit like he knows his way around a Number One hit, and in 2023, few people exude — and celebrate — style like he does. Lacy effortlessly incorporates fashion into his offstage and onstage persona, which he’ll continue to showcase throughout this year on his tour, treating clothing as an extension of his artistic identity. Consider the way he turned heads last year in spray-painted pants by Mowalola, artisanal boots by R.G.B., sculptured hair by Malcolm Marquez, and wool kilts by Stefan Cooke. It’s the mark of someone who understands shape and proportion and who can balance weirdness with the refinement of a seasoned editor. And to top it all off, he does it all himself. “[I have] a very personal relationship to clothes,” the singer says. All this comes together best via Lacy’s burner Instagram account, dubbed “Fitvomit,” where he lets us view his evolution in real time (the account’s description reads “fitting out, not in”). As he puts it himself, “I don’t like to be a billboard. Y’all can have the cool, wear the most brands and all this stuff. I’m going to go do this.”

After an unforgettable, sold-out performance at MIF19, Janelle Monáe is back with a series of electrifying but intimate nights of music.

One of the most celebrated artists of the modern era, Monáe fuses a blend of genres – soul, funk, hip hop and new wave – with big concepts and slick pop productions.

Janelle Monáe Brings Flower Power to OutLoud Music Festival 2024 in Blooming Booties

Amina Ayoud

Ugg's Launches 'URSeen' Pride 2024 Campaign Featuring Vibrant Neon Footwear and Apparel With Alok Vaid-Menon and More

Accompanying her floral boot fantasy, Monáe sported a black jumpsuit akin to a blazer with lapels and long sleeves. The jumpsuit was belted and embellished with a large rosette. The performer also sported a whimsical flower crown and a matching floral-embellished jacket which she took off for the latter half of her performance. Both pieces featured faux flowers throughout in a variety of colors and sizes, much like Monáe’s boots.
