Janelle Monae has been selected as the new face of Cover Girl!
R&B fans can now catch the gorgeous face of Janelle Monáe on CoverGirl advertisements alongside Pink, Taylor Swift, Drew Barrymore, Sofia Vergara and Ellen De Generes.
The 26 year-old star tweeted “I’m strong. I’m beautiful. I AM A COVERGIRL!!!!”
Monáe told Vogue magazine,
“Growing up and trying to find myself as a woman and experimenting with makeup, I’d go buy magazines. I’d see Tyra Banks [in the CoverGirl ads] and I’d think, Wow, she’s beautiful. It never looked like she had on too much makeup. There was just something clean and classic about her face.”
“I believe it’s time that women truly owned their superpowers and used their beauty and strength to change the world around them,” Monáe said in a statement. “One of my core values is to help redefine what it means to be a strong and beautiful woman in the music and fashion worlds and to empower the wonderful things that make us unique.
“Becoming a CoverGirl is truly an honor and a gift. It opens up a new platform for me to inspire women to feel stronger, braver and more beautiful inside and out.”
