If there’s any one who can work the androgynous look, it’s Janelle Monae. 

Rocking her signature look – braces and all – the face of Covergirl covers ELLE magazine’s Canadian February 2013 issue. Branding her “music’s coolest star”, the issue mirrors the industry’s high hopes for the singer. With a few Grammy nominations for her collaboration on the track, We Are Young, the 26-year-old is set to have a good year.

And just look at her skin. Stunning!
