Missy Elliott Trash Bag… We Mean Suit! Elliott FINALLY Speaks On It
FUN FACT: Go to Google and start typing ” Missy Elliott Trash Bag ” in the search; and you are going to come across a FLURRY of images of Missy in one of her most iconic looks. Seriously, try it (Lol).
You won’t even be able to finish typing it in before it pops up. Which means, there are a lot of beings out there who grew up; or still believe Missy got down in her music video for her single, The Rain, in a Hefty trash bag. But, did she?
Sorry the y’all, the myth is over. Like officially, officially over. For years, Elliott has done her best to let the people know the truth. However, the trash bag theory has always been able to live on.
Nevertheless, on Twitter a fan piped up about the “trash bag” fit and Missy actually answered! This is what occurred between the two:
Fan Tweet: “22 years later and I still don’t know why she was in a black trash bag but the song is still fire.”
Missy Elliott Tweet: “Lol it was never a trash bag it was a patent leather blow up suit [winking emoji]. And why was I in that? I don’t know [laughing emojis] cuz I’m Missy.”
Missy Elliott Trash Bag… We Mean Suit! Elliott FINALLY Speaks On It
Yes, Missy has always had a style all her own. An aspect of her career that still sets her apart from all other Emcees. Nonetheless, don’t let her coy response on Twitter fool you. Back in the day when Elliott dropped The Rain video; there was a very good reason why she wore the blow up suit.
In 2017, Missy hit up ELLE magazine about it in an exclusive interview. In regards to her black bodysuit style she told ELLE,
“To me, the outfit was a way to mask my shyness behind all the chaos of the look. Although I am shy, I was never afraid to be a provocative woman. The outfit was a symbol of power.
I loved the idea of feeling like a hip hop Michelin woman. I knew I could have on a blow up suit and still have people talking. It was bold and different. I’ve always seen myself as an innovator and a creative unlike any other.”
Till this day, Missy still is able to get people talking about her and her music. A testament to her sound and vibe being classic and timeless in every sense. Right now, Marie Claire is paying homage to Missy’s career as she covers this August issue. Inside Elliott talks about longevity and the real ups and downs of the music industry when you are in the spotlight.
Made props to Missy for leading the way and pack for females in the hip hop realm; and for speaking out on a look; that is truly one of BIGGEST and BADDEST fashion statements in music video history!

ELLE Magazine Women In Hollywood November 2018 Issue-Feat. Yara, Angela, Lupita, Shondra!
25 years of celebrating the movers and shakers of Tinseltown! The ELLE Magazine Women in Hollywood November 2018 Issue; is PACKED with starlets. Amazing ladies ranging from actresses to writers as well as producers. So then, who’s all being honored this year?
11 stars who are killing it in 11 different ways! Moreover, in ELLE’s November 2018 edition you will be able to see Black Panther’s Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira; as well as Academy Award winner, Lupita Nyong’o. ALSO, the publication catches up with one of the biggest names in television history, Shonda Rhimes.
Yes, THE woman behind some of the biggest TV hits to grace the small screen. We are talking about Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice; and lest we forget-eth, Scandal. Rhimes is in a class of her own and still setting the standard.
Furthermore, young Hollywood is not left out of the loop either. Representing the future of TV and film, the stunning Yara Shahidi is additionally honored as a fearless industry spear-header and leader. Therefore, this issue really demonstrates the strides that women in all facets of the entertainment realm are making to even out the “male-dominant” playing field.

They’re beautiful, hard-working and also simply want the best treatment for all. ELLE magazine shares why they are honoring this cool set of Hollywood elite by saying,
“To say there’s been a paradigm shift in the entertainment industry in the past year would be an understatement. And no one has faced its brave new landscape more head on than our eleven honorees for 2018. – the twenty-fifth anniversary of Women in Hollywood.
To start, Lady Gaga, the ever-outspoken singer-turned-actress currently selling out theatres in A Star Is Born. [Also] Yara Shahidi, who at 18 is a leading voice for social justice; and the powerful writer/producer Shonda Rhimes; who recently signed a multimillion-dollar megadeal with Netflix.
[There has been] gradual progress made in the… movement to get more female story-tellers behind and in-front of the camera. This theme emerges again and again in our November issue, from our Black Panther cast spotlight featuring Lupita Nyong’o– who went from penning a powerful New York Times op-ed about a disturbing encounter with Harvey Winston; to storming the box office alongside fellow Wakanda women of Black Panther Angela Bassett, and Danai Gurira.”

Oftentimes, many only think of “adult” opinions on the situation that Hollywood is currently in. However, ELLE mag also shares what Blackish’s Yara Shahidi is experiencing. They reveal,
“For Yara Shahidi, this is what it means to be a woman in Hollywood in 2018:
‘There’s an intentional knowledge disparity in any industry. Which is tied to the maintaining of power. [Moreover] I love the fact that this community of women is disintegrating that.
I’ve been able to reap the benefits of it; and I’m also fortunate to have my parents with me, guiding me. This is a hobby, so I haven’t had to do this as something that my family and I depend on. Which has helped alleviate pressures that many actors feel.”

Beauty Look: Joan Small’s Mac Cosmetics Superslick Liquid Eyeliner in Nocturnal
The holiday season may be well over, however, that does not mean the metallic trend has slowed its roll! Metal makeup continues to hit the cosmetic production line and consumer beauty market. As a result, the ELLE February 2018 issue is highlighting numerous trends sure to make your eyes a glamorous spectacle. Included among the dramatic visuals is the Joan Small’s Mac Cosmetics Superslick Liquid Eyeliner in Nocturnal look.
Fresh, youthful and extremely modern! Plus, if you decide to make this look your very own, the Mac Cosmetics product used comes with a host of attractive makeup features. For instance, the Superslick Liquid Eyeliner is:
- Long-Wearing
- Smudge Proof
- Boasts Quick as well as Precise Application
- Water Based
- Delivers a Slick “Wet” Finish
- Water Resistant
Beauty Look: Joan Small’s Mac Cosmetics Superslick Liquid Eyeliner in Nocturnal
So how do you do it? ELLE magazine spilled the details this week straight from the MUA (makeup artist) who created Joan’s editorial look. ELLE says,
“Tonight’s makeup inspo, courtesy of Joan Smalls. Beauty Secret: To keep a graphic metallic eye looking “sharp;” makeup artist, Violette recommends applying a pearly silver. Like Mac Cosmetics Superslick Liquid Eye Liner in Nocturnal. Then cleaning up edges with a cotton swab dipped in micellar water.”
Pretty straight forward. However, you may be wondering, what is micellar water? This is water that contains micelles which are tiny balls of cleansing oil molecules that have the ability to draw out impurities without making the skin dry. Super cool product that looks like plain old water but can rid your skin of gunk, makeup and dirt.
Fashion Notes: Indeed the makeup is stellar, but lest we forget about the luxurious fashion? Of course, not! In this particular shot, you may have noted the ruby, diamond and white gold earring. This stunning piece is a design of Chopard paired with a chic blazer by Adam Lippes.
