NAACP Image Awards 2023: Janelle Monáe in Cong Tri

Pin

We’re bouncing back and forth from SAG Awards coverage to Producers Guild Awards coverage to Image Awards coverage to Milan Fashion Week coverage this week like a kid at a birthday party hitting the juiceboxes a little hard. We LOVE having a surplus of red carpetry to discuss! But all of y’all are gonna have to be a little patient while we try to cover all the angles. It would be easier and quicker if we just did a lot of rundown posts, but sometimes, we’ve just gotta give someone the spotlight treatment. Miss Janelle? That’s your cue.

It’s nice to see Sexy Janelle make her return. For most of the last year, while she’s been promoting Glass Onion, we’ve been getting a lot of Quirky, Whimsical Janelle – which is fine, of course. She’s got a unique style and we’d never discourage any star from flying their fashion freak flag if they wanna, but one thing that Glass Onion reiterated about her is that she’s a world class beauty that the camera absolutely loves. She doesn’t have to go the conventionally sexy route if she doesn’t want to, but we think it makes for very smart image management when she does, if only because she’s so freaking hot. While we think the overall style looks fantastic on her, that cutout is pretty awful.
