Monáe (born Robinson) accessorized her eccentric attire with black patent leather pumps and a Zebra-shaped purse.

‘It has something to say without beating you over the head with it,’ Janelle told EW last week. 

‘Just in case I get invited to a murder-mystery party, I bring outfits with me – that’s just who I am.’

The 48-year-old filmmaker added: ‘I feel like she must travel with eight steamer trunks or something, because she had elaborate costumes, like detective capes and Sherlock Holmes hats. And she had fake mustaches and pipes.’

Johnson’s critically-acclaimed who-done-it sequel also features Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista.
