Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s daughter Willow was the topic of discussion on numerous blogs and message boards today. People either love her eclectic sense of style or they hate it.

Personally, I LOVE Willow’s style. At the tender age of 9, she has a keener eye for fashion than most women three times her age. Willow’s swag is undeniable and she should be applauded for possessing the talent to put together so many different sophisticated looks at such a young age.

I see a career in fashion in this kid’s near future.


On the other hand, singer Janelle Monáe is so fashionably impaired that her rider for what she would not wear during the cover shoot for 944 Magazine was pages long. I can just imagine what it said: no color choices and no originality of any kind!

Here’s what Janelle said about her “decidedly-masculine, almost androgynous” blank slate look**:

“There are so many ways we can be sexy and confident. I am not faithful to any of the clothes that the world says I have to wear to be more feminine. Strength and femininity come from me, not my clothes.”
