‘She Been Fly’: Monica Fans Instantly Lose It Over Her Latest Swagged-Out Snapshots

Monica recently served as beauty and fashion inspiration for her fans.

The 39-year-old songstress was pretty much deemed a fashionista by her Instagram followers this week after sharing multiple photos of her jazzy style. She took to Instagram on Thursday, April 30 and shared snapshots that show her posing fiercely in designer wear.

Monica sported a black midi dress, leopard-print utility jacket and black leather thigh-high boots. She paired her look with a Burberry hat that matched her dress and opted for bone-straight stresses. In the first image, the “So Gone” artist smiled for the camera.

She wrote, “This is the day that the Lord has made , let us rejoice & be glad in it …. Psalm 118:24 …. We all have reason to rejoice , we acknowledge daily what’s wrong , let us take time to show gratitude for what’s gone right🖤.”

A second image showed a closeup of Monica and her soft look. In a separated post she added, “I’m still the 12 yr old that walked in the building sure of what I wanted, but things challenged me immensely along the way 🖤 I’m still here ….”

Monica’s fans went wild over her new photos and flooded her with compliments.

“Ok miss thang! You never disappoint ✨😍 still here and still standing ❤️”

“OMG i love those boots and hat girl . You look gorgeous as usual”

“Burberryyyyy! ✨MONICA!!! YOU DAT CHICK🌹✨Beautiful picture of you,with a voice to match✨‼️”

“She been fly on the inside and out. 🙏🏾 You are always so POSITIVE, such a Beautiful Black Woman INSIDE AND OUT. I’ve always loved you and your music 🎶 ♥️”

“Fabulous!!! Beautiful!!!👏🏼👏🏼 she know she be dressin. It’s the BOOTS for me 🔥😍”

Monica’s fashion posts were uploaded a few days after she revealed what she was looking for in her dream man.

She told her friend Tiny Harris in an Instagram Live video that she wants a man who’s traditional.

“I acknowledge that I do need a lot of attention, but I give a lot,” she said. “I need an old-school man in the sense that you can call me hood, you can call me whatever you wanna call me. At the end of the day, I need somebody that’s still a gentleman. That’s why I work so hard with the boys to be gentlemen. I still want you to open the door! I still want you to pull up and pick me up sometimes! I still want you to play my favorite song. I still like all that!”

The newly divorced Monica called it quits with her ex-husband Shannon Brown last March. She said she and the former NBA player are still friends and co-parent their 6-year-old daughter.

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.
