Janelle Monae In Erevos Aether For Star Wars Premiere

Arianne Suggs December 16, 2015December 16, 2015Leave a Comment

This week has basically been deemed Star Wars Week. The film’s critic scores were released exciting fans even more due to the movie receiving scores ranging from high 8s to 10s! It is clear that Star Wars is set to be the blockbuster that J.J. Abrams promised us all.

The film release is not the only thing that has us excited here at 1966, the fashions seen during the red carpet for the Star Wars premiere had us like whoa! Especially, when it came to Janelle Monae’s C3PO inspired ensemble. If there was a Star Wars fashion award Monae definitely would have been nominated and would of won hands down.

The gorgeous Yoga singer dazzled in a futuristic design by Erevos Aether with shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti. Monae completed the look with jewels from: Casa Reale, Jennifer Fisher Jewelry, Butani Jewellery and Djula Jewelry. Moreover, being a Covergirl Janelle’s overall beauty, hair and style look was on point thanks to her “Android Maintenance Squad” as she put it. That squad included: Maeve Reilly (style), Jessica Smalls (makeup) as well as Cheryl Reid and Caprice (hair).

This power droid look was also spotted on another pretty starlet too. Kat Graham donned the Erevos Aether mirror embellished leather vest for her shoot with Mane Addicts magazine.

Fashionable Mention: Stance Star Wars Collection

Once in a lifetime a sock comes along with the epicness of the Egyptain pyramids, gravity and world peace rolled all into one. That sock of this generation comes via Stance, the company behind superstar Rihanna’s graphic and furry sock gems (more on that later). Just in time for the holiday season Stance has released their Star Wars box set which includes 12 characters from the world renown films.

As if that wasn’t cool enough each set also comes with one bonus secret character… nerd achievement unlocked! These amazing socks include characters: Luke Skywalksr, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Darth Vader, C3PO, R2D2, Chewbacca and the Jedi master himself, Yoda.

Besides, socks themselves Stance has put together one stunning website to market them. We had heard through the grapevine that you use ‘the Force’ in order to navigate the site. That was literally all the ammunition we needed to hear in order to develop a strong desire to go check it out (LOL). As soon as you navigate to www.theuncommonforce.com you are asked to tap the screen to begin and that’s when the magic happens. We won’t ruin it for ya, so instead of spoilers we just highly recommend using a smartphone if you want to give it a try. So go have some fun Jedis as well as Siths and don’t forget to pick up a pair of socks in time for the Star Wars film that hits theaters December 18th.
