Janelle Monae became a new face of Covergirl! The singer announced the big news earlier today on Twitter as the company welcomed her on board.

“I believe it’s time that women truly owned their superpowers and used their beauty and strength to change the world around them,” says Janelle. “One of my core values is to help redefine what it means to be a strong and beautiful woman in the music and fashion worlds and to empower the wonderful things that make us unique. Becoming a COVERGIRL is truly an honor and a gift: it opens up a new platform for me to inspire women to feel stronger, braver and more beautiful inside and out.”

Peep some photos and videos from the first shoot.
