The more her songs radiate joy, empowerment and love, the more awestruck we are by her voice, her look, and her wardrobe.

She's usually adorned in exotica to match her other-worldly voice, but here an ethereal floral let this rare beauty really take flight.

The kiss-and-sing girl has a thing for pink that sometimes causes rash decisions, but this feathery mini showed her almost blushing with innocence.
