Ashanti‘s beauty and fashion looks are nothing short of amazing in the eyes of fans.

The R&B singer served body and vogue during her recent appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America” to promote her new film “Stuck,” which debuted in theaters April 19.

Amid her interview on the daytime show April 19, the celeb’s contemporary finery grabbed viewers’ attention. She rocked a purple two-piece blazer-and-pant ensemble from clothing brand Escada, a black tube top, and black stiletto pumps, a look put together by celebrity stylist Wilford Lenov.

The movie “Stuck” featuring the Grammy Award-winning artist, is based on an off-Broadway musical and is about six New Yorkers who engage with one another on a stalled subway train.

“I think this is a really good time for the movie,” the “Foolish” singer told NewsDay this month. “I think people are becoming cold because we are under so much pressure and we are continuously worrying about how to just survive. This is a message that can let people know on both sides of the fence that it’s still OK to talk.”

Ashanti portrays a character named Eve who stands up for herself and others on the train when tensions rise.

Ashanti said it was the character’s strong yet gentle nature that appealed to her.

“This is something that I hadn’t done and I was like, ‘Wow, this could be something cool’,” the singer said. “And just reading the script, the reality just set in, as a New Yorker and understanding the subway, this could really happen.”

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.
