Hate it or love it, you can’t deny that Erykah Badu has always had an eclectic style. The singer (who just renamed her new album) was recently spotted at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem (R) rocking her favorite scarf. She was first spotted with the scarf last year when she was out in West Hollywood shopping (L). When Did She Rock It Better? One more comparison after the cut.

    and you can’t deny that she is beautiful.
    beat that beyaki!!!

  2. NYC NYC

    She seriously looks like a straight up bum in the orange hat. She looked cute with it on her head

  3. kaykay6

    I like it better at the wall but that’s hot that she has a whole fit to match it in the first pic-it’s a great pattern. also love the cold weather coat she has on-just not w/the rest of the fit.

  4. kaykay6

    wow. that’s a randome knock and comparison to Beyonce…

    Good for the sister that she went to Jerusalem to see where her ancestors came from.

  6. At first I voted for the second “look” but after seeing her in the profile shot rockin’ the first look I changed my mind! She is a brilliant woman who is not afraid to go “out on a limb” in her creative expression. It is artists like her who make the world interesting and who in hindsight after she is gone will be understood on a deeper level. We never truly honor the “Erykah Badus” of the world while we have them! Sometimes many will say she is weird but at least she has the courage to not fall into the cookie cutter mentality of self expression! Imagine, she can’t ask anyone before leaving her home “How do I look?”, because there is no standard by which she can be judged! The world needs more people like her! You go girl!

  7. Go head Miss Badu! She got her own style…

  8. a.k.a. new yorker

    the 2nd one. the first is too matchy but i love the color clashes in the 2nd one. if she ditched the orange hat, she wouldn’t look like a bum. she’s so beautiful. love her

  9. Mariah

    she is really pretty

  10. graah

    Hotdamn I love this chick. She got that rainboho thing goin on. Ain’t nobody dress like her, because people too caught up in doing somebody else’s fashion or what they think the majority thinks is hot. Minus them big ass bags under her eyes, she looks great in both pics.

  11. Queen_Chrissee

    Can’t deny Erykah has a funky-ass style. I love it. But only she can do it! I’m definitely going to pick up her new album on 2/26. The girl is killing it! Work it Ms Badu.

  12. This is like picking a bag lady over a homeless person…..they are both f*ed up.

  13. ALJ

    She looks sick in the second pic… her face is swollen.

    Sister looking good…

  15. Ms. Maye

    Wow, talk about being a “bag lady”…Unique is her middle name!

    ***************************************************************************************************

  16. Ms. Maye

    In the second pic, what happened to her mouth? Then under it showing her ring, I wonder is she trying to hide her mouth, now that it’s a close-up!

  17. Elle

    I love what she’s doing with prints…I like the second pic, though…everything from the beanie to the plaid coat and leggings is hot to me…she’s such a gorgeous presence…

  18. I Don't Know Playa, I Don't Know

    The first one looks like something straight out of Roots: The Next Generation and the second…well…chile’ I don’t know…

  19. gorgeous chocolate pixie

  20. Talking to The SGT

  22. E. Badu

  23. Ninagirl1

    Erykah Badu’s eyes are looking tired with bags, really gauntly. Whats going on, is she fasting?

  24. gabe

    she looks like KHIA’S twin ugh

  25. dyshea

    oh lawd ERYKAH i luv ya lord knows I do.. but you lookin just like you out of South Dallas in tha second pic

  26. Still Tragic

    Just another example of how beauty is subjective……… However I think she is flawlessly pretty.

  27. Angelita

    She has natural beauty so no matter what she wears she will always be beautiful!

  28. WeezyBombaclotDifrentChick

    um she def. got that Tyrone Biggums goin on in the second pic…that’s a no no. All she gotta do is plop a melted snicker on the ground next to her and she got the look.The first pic is cute tho.

    p.s. I’m bumpin that American boy by Estelle as I type. Big ups to Brian!

  29. blackisbeautiful

  31. Mayne

    NEVER!!!!!!!

  32. JB_loveey

  33. BJB

    Beautiful Black Woman; wish I knew what she did to get that butt, I’m so jealous!

  34. BKNY

    subjective my azz,she looks rough and messy in these. if this has been rihanna or beyonce lookin this rough, y’all would have been singing another tune.hypocrites!

  35. ey

    i love erykah. unique is beautiful, her differences make her so funny i love that about her. shes not afraid to b herself

  36. Mocha

    I’m glad she is spending her money wisely. You can buy pieces that are timeless.

  37. ThinkAboutIt

    Erykah always rocks it …differently. She is a beautiful and creative sister.

  38. Noelle Alexandrea Teague

    it doesnt matter….

  39. That’s Erykah. She always has a distinctive look to her. Who cares. As long as she is happy then I am happy. It doesn’t take away the fact that she is super talented.

  40. sxyQblondie

    despite the fact that she is very eclectic, she is a very very naturally beautiful black woman. and she is not afraid of her ethnicity. she’s not going for the over exposed “media thinks its a good idea” way of dress or appearance. that is highly commendable. GO MS BADU!!

  41. one tree hill

    I think she rock’d it betta wit da brown bag and she looks betta in dat pics!

  42. j battles

    she dressed like that with the beanie to fit in with the citizens of jeruselum. stop hatin’. and she is a beautiful woman in and out1 Cop that album FEBRUARY 26!!!!!!!! FEBRUARY 26!!!!!!!! FEBRUARY 26!!!!!!!! FEBRUARY 26!!!!!!!! AMERIKAH!!!!

  43. xtac

    erica is a Biter Lisa Bonet had that style way before she even came out. And if she was “all that” why did 2 good men leave her? ( 3000 and common?)

  44. I love Erykah’s music, but her style is always weird and eccentric.

  45. ritchbitch

    In that second picture she walking around looking like an extra off the corner on hbo and ya call this “eclectic” just cause she doing her own thing this shit is not hot. I know it and so do the rest of ya. The I aint washed my ass look will never be hot, never…

  46. Contentandhappy

    you can’t judge ms badu by the same standard of beauty used with rhi or bey it’s like comparing baby phat to banana republic one is not better than the other they are just different, really different. You won’t catch ms badu in a long sandy brown lacefront and a super tight emerald dress and fairer comparision would be with an earthy afro conscious sister like india arie ya feel me?
