From the day I first met musician and artist Janelle Monae back in the summer of 2010 on set of our Honey Magazine April 2010 covershoot, I knew she was bound for even more greatness than she had already achieved.
Me w/Honey Editors & Janelle
2010 was a groundbreaking year for her career. She released her award-winning album The ArchAndroid (which subsequently became my all-time favorite summer anthem) and things continued to take off. Upon meeting her, I was overwhelmed by her beauty. She had such a striking face and such incredible style. As petite as she was, her presence was so incredibly large...and warm!
Anyway, I'll stop the cloud of reminiscing to bring you the deets - my girl Janelle is the new face of COVERGIRL! I am so incredibly proud to see an artist like Monae being featured in such an amazing way with one of the biggest beauty companies in the US. And the fact that she's a natural girl at that? *3 snaps in a Z formation*
About her new Covergirl contract, she tells Vogue “I believe in the idea of every woman finding their own beauty superpowers. I want to help redefine what it means to be a strong woman in the music and fashion worlds.”
She's gorgeous, inside and out. I can't WAIT to see her ads in my favorite glossies - well deserved!

Janelle is so amazing. Her voice and how she approches music is so unique and powerful (and playful) that she is a pure joy to watch. How awesome that she is a Cover Girl!
What an amazing choice- super talented as well as beautiful with such a tremendous sense of personal style.
