Behind The Scenes Of Janelle Monae's CoverGirl Shoot

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Equally gorgeous and hip, Janelle Monae is the new celebrity spokesmodel for the CoverGirl makeup line—and we have some pictures and video from her CoverGirl photo shoot.

Janelle, 26, has an undeniable style that is apparent from just a few seconds of listening to her music, or just a glimpse of her funky, beautiful visage. Monae joins a tradition of women of color who have pushed the CoverGirl line, from Tyra Banks to Queen Latifah.

In the video below, we hear Monae’s musical partners talking about her style, her drive, and what makes her so cool and beautiful. She brings the signature black-and-white suit combos and the pompadour along with her to the photo shoot. It’s all fun and sexy. Also check out the pics Janelle posted to Pinterest.

Janelle is just the next in a long line of African American women to rep CoverGirl. Tyra Banks, Queen Latifah and Rihanna have all been named faces of the brand and Monae told Vogue.com that she used to admire Banks’ CoverGirl ads.

Congratulations, Janelle Monae, for always making it look easy, breezy and beautiful.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
