Janelle Monáe is always one to watch on the red carpet for her playful hair and makeup looks, and her Paper magazine cover is no different. The actress starred on the magazine's cover for its Pride issue, and she appeared with large bantu knots with ribbons on top of her head, created by her hairstylist Nikki Nelms, as well as a playful makeup look.

The singer and actress wore a glossy red lip and monochromatic blush and had a few small hearts drawn near her eye. In the photos from the shoot, you can see that Monáe also had a metallic red manicure that connected her fingers with small chains. You can check out her magazine cover and the rest of the photo shoot ahead.
