Happy International Women’s Day! What better time to pay homage to Janelle Monáe and her amazing yonic dress from the 2018 PYNK music video? Directed by Emma Westenberg, the film was a vibrant celebration of all things vulva—from the Duran Lantink-designed gown to the suggestive plethora of oyster shells, halved grapefruits and pink doughnuts. For more on the video—and the cultural legacy of Monáe’s “acknowledgement that vulvas are weird enough to merit deserved humour, but in their own way, they’re beautiful”—check out Hannah Valentine’s feature on the subject for Elephant here.
