Ashanti Pulls Off High-Fashion Look Perfectly: ‘Haute Darling!’

Ashanti may be known for her overt sex appeal, but she’s also infamous for her elegant and classy fashion style.

Over the past two weeks, the “Rain On Me” singer made several public appearances, including her visit to the “Today” show last Friday, to promote her new film “Stuck,” which debuted in select theaters on April 19.

While appearing on the daytime television show, the Grammy Award winner sported elegant dress that grabbed viewers’ attention. She was styled by celebrity stylist Wilford Lenov who outfitted her in a navy blue striped Escada dress, black cinched belt and white, classic Tom Ford pumps that retail for $790.

Ashanti rocked straight, platinum-blond tresses styled by New York celebrity hairstyle Kalief Wolfe. She also went for a full-fledged makeup glam look, including a bronzed face, a gold and brown eye shadow, and mauve metallic lipstick.

The singer wrote in her Instagram caption on Tuesday, “Thinking about what happen last night like…😜.”

Fans fawned over the star’s chic look.

“Looking like you hosting the today show fine ASFšŸ˜ she’s giving us first lady vibes.”

“Haute darling! You look like a whole black Barbie šŸ˜ā¤ļøso gorgeous!”

“That outfit tho! šŸ”„ Very conservative and beautiful. Classy and Gorgeous šŸ”„šŸ–¤. God bless.”

“Ashanti is so elegant and classy! Gorgeous! All of you! Love that dress! Your make up is Fire!!! šŸ”„.”

Ashanti’s fashion is just one of the many things fans gush over. They’re also obessesed with the star’s slim yet curvy physique.

The singer said she’s big on eating healthy and exercising regularly. She told People magazine last week that she follows a mostly pescatarian diet and cut out the majority of her meat intake.

“I cut out a lot of meat,” she said. “I think again, self-health and self-awareness are so important. All of that stuff is so important to maintaining your body, knowing what’s in your food, the GMO’s and the chemicals, and I’m super aware of this stuff.”

Her lifestyle change has caused her to switch to natural deodorants, toothpastes and other products. She admitted, “I’m kind of a weirdo with that stuff,” adding that it’s part of her approach to health, along with a few other moves.

“I have a trainer and we try to go five days a week when I’m home and then when I get to another place, he’s texting me a workout or he’ll FaceTime me and say, ā€˜Are you still in the bed?’ We try to keep it going.ā€

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.
