GLOBAL — When songstress Janelle Monáe hit the scene a few years ago, her look was a refreshing twist from the usual fashion fare of female music artists – no skimpy, sequin embellished frocks and teased locks for this singing sensation. Janelle opted for a simple, tailored tux and pompadour updo. The multi-talented Grammy-nominated artist's look is reminiscent of Old Hollywood icons such as Marlene Dietrich and Katherine Hepburn, both known for their love of haberdashery. Here's a few must haves to put on your radar to capture her signature look.
