JANELLE MONÁE, the Grammy-nominated singer with a futuristic R & B sound, doesn’t regard her look as rockabilly. Rather, dressed as she often is in a tailor-made white tuxedo jacket, saddle shoes and a natty black-ribbon tie, her hair swept up into a pompadour, Ms. Monáe, 23, sees her style as purely her own. “It’s just Monáe,” she said. “Minimalist and classic.”

“I like the boyishness of the look,” said Nancy Rohde, the British stylist behind one of two neo-rockabilly fashion articles in the August issue of Teen Vogue (left).
