Video Style Steal - Janelle Monae 'Tightrope (Wondamix ft. big Boi and B.O.B.)'

She's the talented new-comer that's burst onto the scene and gaining praise and attention from music big names like Prince and Stevie Wonder. It's Janelle Monae and her hit album, The ArchAndroid, is what snagged her that Grammy. She's talented, unique, classy and a total breath of fresh air. A girl that's not afraid to be herself and have an image that's not a gimmick like so many other artists out there these days is definitely worth checking out!
We love her 'Tightrope (Wondamix ft. Big Boi and B.O.B.)' music video and the rock-a-billy inspired tux look and patent two-tone oxfords. The jodhpurs and ruffle blouses are the perfect mix of menswear inspired pieces that's sharp and stylish and a look we're dying to try for ourselves! While a full-blown tux type ensemble may be too much for everyday, we're showing you how to translate the look into something you can wear during the day while not looking to formal or costume-y.
