Faded Glory

Goapele’s most recent style stunner was at the 25th Anniversary ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Awards. The songstress donned an ombré off-the-shoulder bandage dress and peep-toe pumps that looked stellar with her new blonde highlights.

The singer had us swooning over this liquid leather bodycon dress. The T-strap heels and red pout sealed the deal.

Ravishing Red

The former boho beauty has found a new formula that works. A fierce bodycon and T-strap heels. This splash of red against her skin is a no-fail fabulous color.

Black Beauty

This drop-dead gorgeous, sheer one-shouldered look was so unexpected at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards this year. She confidently strikes the perfect balance of sexy elegance.

Style Stunner

It was at last year’s 1st Annual Black Girls Rock & Soul Tour when she rocked a hot pink color-blocked dress that caught our eye. The singer’s been on a stylish winning streak ever since.
