Janelle Monae went dark for the 13th annual Governors Awards.
Arriving at Fairmont Century Plaza for the occasion, Monae wore a flowing black gown. Styled by Alexandra Mandelkorn, the “Knives Out” star’s Giambattista Valli ensemble featured a black silk bodice with a plunging neckline and flowing sheer pleated skirt. Adding romantic surrealism to the piece was a high-necked top base covered in looped black embroidery, much like medieval lattice, as well as a silver crystal-embellished waistline. Completing Monae’s ensemble were sparkling diamond rings

When it came to shoes, the “Dirty Computer” singer’s footwear was not fully visible. However, her heels of choice for the evening appeared to feature a peep-toe silhouette with curved front straps and thin ankle straps. The set, likely crafted from matching leather, velvet or suede, appeared to feature heels totaling at least 4-5 inches in height for a monochrome height boost.
