If you invite Janelle Monae somewhere, you can depend on the fact that she will show up dressed to the tuxedo-inspired max. When it comes to fashion, she never disappoints. We cannot help but compare her to the late flamboyant performer Prince. Both were “dandies.” He was 5’2” and loved the color purple. Janelle is 5’0” and loves black and white. They both indulged in fashion fantasies and their music is both unusual and similar. It so happens Prince collaborated with Janelle on her Dirty Computer album shortly before his death, and she credits him for being an inspiration.
