Ledisi steps out, dolls up for Essence Music Festival

If you’re not familiar with the absolute ray of sunshine that is Ledisi, you’re in luck; we caught up with the self-described soul singer at Essence Music Festival – her very first time on the main stage in her hometown of New Orleans, Lousiana. Her unique stage style and street presence complement one another in a really fun way. Think: blue jeans, Converse and “really nerdy with glasses” (her words) by day, and custom cut-out leather jackets, shiny leggings and crazy platforms heels by night. For her favorite body part, outfit she feels the sexiest in, and an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at her tour wardrobe, peep this video.
