This summer the musician welcomes in The Age Of Pleasure (and style)

Janelle Monáe’s Instagram timeline proves that the musician is the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) at dressing for summer vibes. Ever since they released the NSFW Lipstick Lover music video, I’ve been watching it on repeat and fantasising about joining their Black, queer, feminist and sex-positive pool party. While promoting their latest album, The Age Of Pleasure, the pop star has been very open about body image, unforgettably telling Rolling Stone, “I’m much happier when my titties are out”. As a queer, Black mixed-race and non-binary individual, I know it can be hard to feel confident when the sun’s out and our wardrobes become skimpier. But, if like me, you want to take some inspiration from the style icon before summer’s out, I’ve got you covered!
