That’s the way she likes it and wants to show it to the world. And this is the decision that inspires [her] fans and several women to look at their beauties in a different, more moving way.

At this moment when everyone has room to spread their opinions, Alicia defines what we believe is to be an influencer today. Use your image and visibility to raise important debates by talking openly about patterns. Showing vulnerabilities and challenging your own barriers.

Ask and Tell : Alicia Keys Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket for The Voice Finale

Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket

The Item: The Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket worn by singer and television judge Alicia Keys during The Voice finale.

You asked: Not sure if you got my other message. There are two different things I am looking for. But the first one is a black jacket I saw on Alicia Keys. In the photo I saw it’s sleeves were BIG. Like eighties big and I love it! Who makes that? Thank you 1966!

Ask and Tell : Alicia Keys Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket for The Voice Finale

The Verdict: Thanks for writing us love and we know exactly what jacket you are talking about! The jacket made a big splash during the live finale of The Voice which is episode 1219A. Alicia pulls out all the stops in the episode by not just sitting in the judge’s chair, but also performing. She croons and belts out ‘Diamonds and Pearls’ with Chris Blue.

Nevertheless, Alicia’s fashion was as beautiful as her melodic voice. The very stylish jacket in question is a design by Ulyana Sergeenko. The black Ulyana Sergeenko jacket features an extremely sexy plunge neckline before it closes near the waistline. Moreover, as mentioned it also incorporates very dramatic sleeves as well as a peplum style fit. The cap sleeves help to make Alicia Key’s overall ensemble even more diva. While the peplum’s shape helps to balance the hips and create a very sleek and chic silhouette.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.
