Janelle Monae wears it best, I must say.
And she isn’t even on here.
…Nylon, what are you thinking?

I find it funny that Janelle Monae isn’t included in this and yet she is arguably the one responsible for bringing the whole tuxedo look back. She’s been wearing them consistently for the last six years.

@Mia, that’s exactly why – the tuxedo is Janelle Monae’s signature style. For her, it’s not a trend, it’s who she is aesthetically. This is a trend watch about starlets who normally wouldn’t do it / haven’t done it, and whether it works.

Women rocking tuxedos is synonymous with Janelle Monae, and she is who we expected to see in this blog. You could have included the very comment you posted to Mia, in the article. Because that is Janelle Monaes’ signature look, you should have given her a proper shout-out and posted one of her fab photos for simply inspiring the trend. Give credit, Nylon.

@rebeKah we adore Janelle Monae – and you, for commenting – but rocking a tuxedo was done many times before her – in fact, Yves Saint Laurent started making “Le Smoking” suit for women back in the mid 20th century, although some Parisian women wore men’s suits beginning with La Belle Epoque and going through the Twenties. In the ’30s many women in Berlin also wore the style, though the rise of fascism curbed it. Again, we adore Janelle Monae but this post is a trend piece about the recent proliferation of starlets who usually wear dresses choosing a suit instead. If it was about the rise of the tuxedo in women’s fashion, we’d have to go back to the late 1800s, and then it would be the longest blog post EVER, and you’d hate me. (Or at least, I’d hate me.) But maybe it would be a cool style piece for the website, so stay tuned… !
