As the famous saying goes, “If it is not broke, why fix it?” Many times when it comes to fashion choices we may find ourselves wondering the same thing. If something is working and making us look like we belong in a magazine cover story then maybe we should just stick to it.

We have noted many celebrities who seem to apply that very thinking to themselves. Case in point, the uber talented and gorgeous Jonelle Monae who can rock monochromatic (black and white) styles like no one’s business. Of course, Monae falls into that category of women that could take paper bags, sow them together into an ensemble and make it look like the hottest trend ever. Then again, that is probably why she is star, right?

Whether she has been performing on stage, attending a show during fashion week or hitting other red carpet events Monae is straight up every stylist’s dream. She has a physique that can basically pull off anything and has the edge to take risks. See what we mean by checking out just 8 of her chic monochromatic outfits.
