Janelle Monáe: The New Face Of CoverGirl

Kid Fury August 14, 2012 Get To These Dollars! 19 Comments

The lovely and talented Miss Janelle Monáe has fluttered into hearts and iTunes libraries with her works, such as Metropolis and The ArchAndroid. Now the 26-year old Kansas City native has become the new face of CoverGirl!

Janelle joins the ranks of several other celebrity endorsers including, Queen Latifah, Ellen Degeneres, Rihanna, Sofia Vergara and Tyra Banks. Stand up and scream for this brown queen!

“Growing up and trying to find myself as a woman and experimenting with makeup, I’d go buy magazines,” Janelle says. “I’d see Tyra Banks [in the CoverGirl ads] and I’d think, Wow, she’s beautiful. It never looked like she had on too much makeup. There was just something clean and classic about her face.”

You can find Janelle Monáe’s first 10-page CoverGirl ad in the September issue of Vogue! Congratulations to her!

    Yasss so happy for her! I’d love to see her hair in a different hair style for once though.

    • whatevs

      Well they ain’t seem to mind the last three times she posed in Vogue…

      Yasss. I’m dying to see her wig snatched bone straight with some smooth Taraji P. Henson baby-hair-personality in the front.

    Good for her but yeah, has anyone ever seen her with a different hairstyle or clothing. It’s getting a little old… 

    • TheBrittyG

      I personally love her and her look and style (I’m a Fandroid), but u can find her in Big Boi’s Morris Brown video for a different Monae.

    Janelle is GORGEOUS.  Super Excited for her commercial. :D  FYI: All y’all commenting on her hair and sh*t chill out. She does wear her hair down and in different styles but NOT for the public eye. TRUE FANS know that. 

  • Alicia Collins

    Everytime I saw her in a video or performance I just stare like an idiot with a girl crush. That is a beautiful woman. 

    And her style is based in menswear. Katherine Hepburn and Diane Keaton did it, so why are ya’ll in Janelle’s ass about it. Naysayers gonna naysay.
