Brandy and Monica have always been more than music. In the ’90s, they set trends with their looks just as much as with their songs. Decades later, they continue to inspire proving that style and presence don’t fade with time.

Brandy’s box braids became one of her signature looks and influenced many fans in the ’90s. She frequently paired chokers with denim, blending casual pieces with glam accents. The look complemented her soft vocal delivery and approachable image. She looked relatable, but you could tell she was a star.

Monica walked a different path. While Brandy leaned softer, Monica’s looks tended toward the bold. She favored leather jackets, sharp tailoring, and striking silhouettes always presented with confidence. Her looks were strong, unapologetic, and a little rebellious, a fitting reflection to her powerhouse vocals.

Brandy offered the sweetness, while Monica delivered the strength. Together, they showed two sides of ’90s Black girlhood. Today, both women retain that signature energy, now presented with greater maturity. Brandy often favors elegant gowns and tailored suiting. She’s often seen in long gowns or clean-cut suits that show her as a classic R&B star. Monica, on the other hand, keeps things more street and modern, pairing sneakers with designer outfits.

Now, their signature styles are about to take the spotlight again. When “The Boy Is Mine Tour” begins on October 16, 2025, Fans will get to see the energy of two women who shaped the ’90s and see how their presence still feels fresh today.
