"I'm not ashamed of what I am and that I have curves and that I'm thick...I like my body."--Alicia Keys.Hey Guys!
This week's Style File profiles R&B crooner, pianist, and musician extraordinaire...
Alicia Keys.
Ms. Keys may not be the best dressed woman out there, but she has had a heck of a style evolution...especially when you consider how she used to roll.
Remember the corn rows...
..crazy hats...
...acid washed jean sets...
and beads...?
They were a hot mess! They simply took away from her gorgeous face.
Anything would've been an improvement...and now Ms. Keys more than passes the fashion bill with sleak looks and form flattering fits. Let's take a look:
For red carpets, Ms. Keys favors short or long strapless frocks in basic colors like black, white or cream...
And while her casual steeze sometimes throws back to her old days...
For the most part she holds it down with wrap dresses in bold colors:
Trench coats with red accessory accents...
...and bootcut or straight legged jeans with simple yet flattering tops...
Cute!

I agree with you on that Alicia K. wasn't always the best dressed. But I must disagree with you about her braids. It was a breath of fresh air when every other female was wearing bad weaves and lace fronts.
I must disagree w/ ya...cornrows are for little girls, not grown women.
Actually, I think cornrows should be reserved for girls 16 and under, basically. There are other natural hairstyles for grown women...
alicia keys' style improved because she hired a stylist. nuff said. what about people with good style without stylists?
I agree with Ada & Anonymous... Alicia Keyes style has evolved...I think it's because she's older now...and she has a stylist... but what celebrity doesn't have one?? I wonder how many of them can actually put themselves together without one...
I loooove me some AK. Sure she isn't the best dressed out there but i loved her cornrows...i think that she showed that grown women can rock cornrows too. Still kudos on the evolution hair and dress wise
