Janelle Monáe Brings Whimsical Flair in Black & White Dress With Puppy Bag & Alphabet Block Heels at CFDA Awards 2022
Janelle Monáe arrived at the 2022 CFDA Awards in a whimsical black and white outfit designed by Thom Browne.
Monáe emerged on the carpet in a layered outfit fresh off the spring 2023 runway from the luxury American fashion brand. The highlight of the look was the floor-length harem-structured blazer designed with large gold buttons and a contrasting white outline, accompanied by a train. The ensemble also featured a tulle around the neck.
On her arm, she donned a bedazzled black purse in the shape of a dog, affectionately named Hector Browne, which was also designed by Thom Browne. The “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” actress selected matching black and white jewelry from Parisian fine jeweler Rainbow K.
