There are those celebrities that love over feminine fashions, while there are others that don't mind dabbling with a little bit of menswear once in a while. Case in point: Victoria Justice wore a black skinny tie with her animal-print jeans, singer Janelle Monae has made a white blouse and black tie her red-carpet signature, Emmy Rossum matched her silky teal tie with her shorts suit, and British model Jameela Jamil also got in on the trend via a classic white shirt and a black silky tie. Would you — or have you — wear a tie with any of your ensembles? Cast your vote below!

Just last week, CoverGirl named Pink its latest spokeswoman, and now the beauty brand is adding another alluringly cool songstress into the mix: Janelle Monáe. Her superlative style and high-energy performances make her a gem on the CoverGirl lineup, which also includes stars such as Sofia Vergara, Queen Latifah, and Drew Barrymore.

"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," Janelle said. "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." For CoverGirl, the feeling is mutual. "Janelle is a true force of energy and a beautiful spirit who truly delights in her creative journey, not just the destination," said the brand's VP and general manager, Esi Eggleston Bracey.

Janelle's new ad will debut in Vogue's September issue, out next week. But until then, get a sneak peek of Janelle behind the scenes with the beauty brand, where she even does her own rendition of the classic CoverGirl jingle.

amfAR Gala Trendspotting: Tuxedo-Inspired Silhouettes

A slick tuxedo-inspired silhouette can instantly add structure, sex appeal, and an empowered sense of glamour to any red-carpet ensemble.

A slick tuxedo-inspired silhouette can instantly add structure, sex appeal, and an empowered sense of glamour to any red-carpet ensemble. At last night's amfAR New York gala, we spotted five star-studded examples of the menswear-friendly style. Model Joan Smalls suited up in a lapel-infused floor-length gown, complete with a peplum pop at the waist; singer Janelle Monáe opted for a more traditional tuxedo blazer over a black wide-leg jumpsuit; and model Liya Kebede stunned in a sportier version of the tailored trend by wearing slouchy tuxedo pants with a silky blouse. Whether you take a more literal approach to the trademark tuxedo staples (read: blazers, lapels, pantsuits) or interpret the look with a more feminine twist (think soft dress shirts and peplum details), we think it provides a superchic finish. Click through to see how celebs worked the trend and shop your favorites at the end of the slideshow.

Here's a post from OnSugar blog, Blaq Vixen Beauty:

I never truly realized that Janelle Monae was a woman after my own heart until this year. And, ever since I saw this picture of her — in her all black everything and cape — sporting hot pink lips and dark nail polish, I just knew I had to speak up. I know that her look is simple. Many girls do this, right? But I've never seen her wear such a popping pink lip before. Easily, this could be another MAC Girl About Town mission but you could try the following:
