00:10If you haven't already, don't forget to hit that subscribe button so you don't
00:13miss any videos. I love Janelle Monáe because she has this electric style.
00:18Everything about her is unapologetic, it's woman. One of the things I like is
00:22the fact that she made an ode to the working class. She's able to make a
00:27statement in a very subtle way but she's not subtle about it. Her music style is
00:31like very funky and just like soul-wise, it just makes you want to dance and I
00:36love to dance. I love Janelle Monáe and Janelle if you're watching this, teach me
00:40your ways to be like you. Alright, I'm ready, it's time to get
00:43electric. This first look is really classic Janelle Monáe. It's when she came
00:52out with a pompadour and that really became her thing.
01:01The makeup here is very flattering, very neutral, very clean.
01:31All right, I'm excited. Oh my gosh. I love it. I just always wanted to look like her and I
01:40do.
01:41It's crazy. I feel like a boss. I'm gonna need to get a white blazer.
02:12The eye makeup here is beautiful and fierce with the
02:14with this nice cat eye.
02:25At this point, she was already a cover girl and you can tell that her makeup has elevated.
02:35I've always wanted to do the braid. It has this regal look to it.
02:44I'm ready. I'm excited.
02:47Oh my gosh.
02:49I'm really feeling this braid.
02:50Yes.
02:52Wow, this is really nice. Who are you?
02:59Can I like take this persona home?
03:01I'm so sorry.
03:13I'm so sorry.
03:16I'm good at it.
03:18Have a great day.
03:21Have a great day.
03:23Have a great day.
03:31This look was definitely a showstopper.
03:34She has a different style than her classic style as far as her hair, and so it's a nice
03:39sleek short cut.
03:51She still has her classic bold red lip.
03:59She still brings her black and white style, but just in a completely different way.
04:09I'm like a bird, I want to fly away.
04:18I am like, so nervous.
04:24I definitely wear these every day.
04:25This is so elegant, classy.
04:28Where am I going?
04:29I feel like a very elegant, fancy bird.
04:47I really enjoyed doing all these looks today.
04:49This was very out of the box for me because I usually have my basic go-to's and once in
04:54a while I do something nice.
04:56But this, completely different.
04:58I really loved it.
04:59Thanks so much for watching.
