Ashanti ‘Bodies’ Her Versace Fashion Look: ‘We Call It a Blackout’

If R&B singer Ashanti is known for only one thing besides music, it’s definitely fashion.

The “Still On It” singer has walked some of the most prestigious award shows, sporting high-fashion brands like Balmain, Tom Ford and her seeming favorite, Versace. She was recently was spotted again in wear from the luxury Italian brand.

The 38-year-old artist attended a supercar event earlier this month in New Jersey hosted by TopGearPorsche Imports. She definitely made her appearance known, seemingly posing as a model in front of the luxury vehicles. She went for a modish fashion look, wearing a white-and-black print Versace bomber that retails for $2,395, a lace bralette, black latex pants, and black thigh-high Giuseppe boots that go for $1,795.00.

She accessorized her ensemble with a pair of black oversized Anna-Karin Karlsson sunglasses that go for about $800, an apparent gold pendant, and an oversized watch. She wore her hair in sandy blond beach waves and seemingly opted for a mid-glam makeup look.

Ashanti wrote in her Instagram caption on Thursday “Candidly…” while adding a black heart and flag emoji.

Fans slavered over the “I Got It” musician’s fierce look.

“Ashanti bad af 😏😍,” one fan commented underneath her photo. “We call it a straight blackout ♥️♥️♥️♥️.”

Another added, “A Porsche & Ashanti… two goals both exotic owww 🌀🏁 always slaying sis 😍❤️🔥.”

“When Everything in the pic fly 😍👌 u look like a buggatti, million bucks,” another added.

Someone else commented, “Always with the dope fits💫😍 she always slays!”

Ashanti has been going all out with her looks this year and it could be attributed to her comments she made in 2018 about stepping out of the “box.” She told iHeart radio in March 2018, that she would be “trying different looks and shooting different kinds of visuals” in her music and fashions.

“I did a shoot where I’m standing on the ledge of a building, you know, one wrong move [and] it would have been over,” she said. “But I think it’s just really important nowadays to touch people [and] bring something new to the table. And, you know, bring it.”

She also collaborated with Miss Circle in December for a sultry yet glam fashion line.

“My motto has always been to stay classy and sassy and sexy, not trashy,” Ashanti told Page Six. “I think that I always try to inspire women to be bosses and demand respect. You can still be sexy and swaggy and be the boss.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

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.
