the latest Cover Girl...Janelle Monáe

One main reason I like the Cover Girl ads are that they don't just use professional models. Cover Girl chooses their girls wisely. The Cover Girl belief is that their latest choice willencourage women to channel their artistic powers to play, change, and transform their style.The latest Cover Girl to join the brand is Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Janelle Monae.

“I believe it’s time that women truly owned their superpowers and used their beauty and strength to change the world around them,” said Monáe. “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.”

The ads will be seen this Fall, look for a spread in the September issue of Vogue.
