This month on Essence Magazine‘s cover are three of my absolute favorite soul artists – Solange, Erykah Badu and Ledisi. Each of these three ladies grace their very own Essence cover for the Beauty issue in May and they all look absolutely STUNNING. Check it out:
Solange tells Essence:
“We all have the option of how we want to express ourselves through our life, hair, style or whatever we decide. We shouldn’t be pigeonholed into any one category…”
Loving her lip color. I mean, just gorgeous.
Ledisi told Essence:
“Although I’m known for my long, colorful locs, I still don’t take my hair too seriously… I experiment a lot, dyeing it and constantly switching styles to grab attention. My hair is one of my best accessories and changing it helps express who I am.”
Can we talk about the hair, the nails, the accessories? I’m dying over here!
Erykah Badu tells Essence:
“I view my hair and clothes as functional art… I’m my own stylist and I love it, but I am not trying to make a statement.”
Well she may not be trying but Ms. Badu always makes a statement. And she looks like she was born yesterday. Flawless! Kudos to Essence for choosing these beauties to grace their cover. I can’t wait to check out this issue.
The May issue hits newsstands on April 4th! For more info about what’s inside, head to Essence.com!
