Singer, songwriter, actress, and model, Janelle Monáe Robinson is a heavyweight A-lister in Hollywood’s tinseltown. Despite all her success, this lady remains steadfast and humble, and her talents are ever-growing.

A fashionista of note, Janelle struts on across red carpets, donning the most amazing, inventive outfits of note. One trend that we’ve picked up on, though, is her love for a black and white colour palette. This has become synonymous with her personal style profile. The talented actress says that this colour scheme is her way of paying homage to her working-class roots, as her mother was a janitor, her father a trash collector and her stepfather was a postal worker for many years.
