Janelle Monae Rainbow Dress at the BET Awards 2018
Janelle Monae's Dress Is the Most Rainbow of All the Rainbow Dresses Ever Worn
Back track Janelle Monaé's red carpet history and you'll find that, despite her ability to pull off avant-garde or voluminous outfits, she doesn't wear colour often. Janelle has boldly defined her "uniform" with a black and white palette as a tribute to the working class, or her grandmother and mom, as she revealed to Huffington Post in 2013.
But even while avoiding bright shades, Janelle has managed to distinguish herself as one of the bravest dressers in the entertainment industry, on and off the carpet. So we didn't bat an eye when she showed up to the 2018 BET Awards in an incredible rainbow tiered gown with a matching crystal-embellished bag. We've seen vibrant looks before, but this one deserves to go down in history.
Janelle's green beaded bodice brought out her glow and, as if she needed another accessory to turn heads, Janelle completed her ensemble with a tall conductor's cap and sparkling Tiffany & Co. jewels. Yep, it's clear who took the fashion charge at this award ceremony. Just read on to see her from every stunning angle.
