This week, Khloé Kardashian and Emma Grede’s clothing brand Good American tapped rapper, actress and all-around icon Queen Latifah to star in an all-new ad campaign. Latifah stuns in pieces from the size-inclusive brand’s fall line, including leather blazers and denim pieces that are the perfect start of any capsule wardrobe.

The campaign, shot by Cass Bird and styled by Julia Sarr Jamois, is intended to inspire creativity and confidence and encourage women to define beauty on their own terms. Latifah says she’s a long-time fan of Good American, making the campaign a perfect match.

“I’ve worn Good American for quite some time now in various projects,” Latifah told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’ve worn their jeans on The Equalizer. I’ve worn a suit of theirs at the Super Bowl, to an after party. I wore a denim outfit just the other day to my bodyguard’s 60th birthday. We partied all night.”

You can see all of the stunning shots of the Queen for yourself on Good American’s Instagram page.

In honor of Queen Latifah’s gorgeous new campaign, we’re looking back at Black stars who have slayed in jean ads through the years.
