Behind The Scenes: Janelle Monae Essence Cover

April 3, 2013 Posted by Terry McFly Uncategorized

Janelle Monae recently shot her first ever Essence magazine cover. HipHollywood was on set to capture some behind-the-scenes footage and first looks of the shoot and the outfits that she wore. The singer branched off from her normal black and white uniform, and experimented with pieces that fit in with her love of the future.

“Essence knows that I have a strong love for science fiction and the future. We wanted to pick locations and we wanted to pick pieces that represented the future and what that felt like without over stating.”
