Janelle Monáe dazzled the 2020 Oscars red carpet on Sunday.

The “Dirty Computer” singer donned a sparkly custom Ralph Lauren gown that featured a draped hood reminiscent of iconic signature looks often worn by Jamaican model and singer Grace Jones.

Monáe complemented the show-stopping look with a matching Forevermark choker and a red lip.
