Our January cover girl Queen Latifah is stylishly radiant in red. And we expected nothing less from the actress and singer who has added “Designer” to her long list of accomplishments this year.

This curvy girl style ambassador isn’t afraid to take risks no matter the color or the cut of what she’s wearing, which could easily be a menswear-inspired tuxedo suit or a floor-sweeping gown.

Above all, it’s Latifah’s air of confidence that stands out, making it clear that she wears the clothes, they don’t wear her.
