Style Rider: JoJo Likes Her Rings Turquoise and Her Mics Gold

After early fame and discouraging label troubles, the young singer claws her way back into the spotlight in style.

For fans of JoJo, the wait for new music has been a long one. But now, the 24-year-old has made a return in a huge way, flaunting a more mature sound and style. While her career started at 13 years old with an infectious R&B-infused pop song that went viral—cue “Leave (Get Out)”—she released two records and then went dark for a few years, releasing only mixtapes because of a record deal gone awry. Earlier this year she released her "tringle" III, where she showed off how much she’s grown since singing about childhood love.

Sporting an edgier look and bringing back the eyebrow ring trend, we had to chat with JoJo about what fashion looks like for her nowadays. She filled us in on the tour necessities that make her look fly and keep her star power going.

GOLD MIC

"I'm a sucker for gold!"

CLEAN MAKEUP BRUSHES

"Doing my own makeup is a ritual that I l’ve come to really enjoy. Making sure my brushes are clean and dry is important to maintaining good skin on the road."

MY WINTER JACKET

"This jacket has been so faithful to me. My manager got it for me a few Christmases ago, and it has been an absolute staple ever since. It's perfect to stay warm and chic simultaneously."

GREEN SUPERFOOD POWDER

"My blender bottle makes it easy to mix protein shakes and supplements like the green superfood one I have daily. Shake up the good stuff with some ice and water, and you have nutrition on the go."

TIMBERLAND BOOTS

"Perfect for winter on the East Coast. I love stompin’ around in my Timbs, dressing ‘em down or up."

BOOKS: THE YOGA OF JESUS AND THE ESSENTIAL NERUDA

"I tend to be a slow reader when it comes to books since I read so much on my phone lately. But, I brought these two physical copies with me on the road in hopes that I'll finish at least one before tour is done. My friend got me The Essential Neruda at The Green Apple bookshop in San Francisco, knowing I would appreciate the way he wrote about love."

TURQUOISE RINGS

"These Melody Ehsani rings add a beautiful pop of color and gold to any outfit on or offstage. I find that having a fist full of jewelry can be a good conversation starter."
