On Sunday, the I Like that hitmaker — who frequently models skimpy ensembles — took to Instagram ring in the festivities by sharing a very suggestive video of herself enjoying a tropical getaway.
She flaunted her taut tummy and ample bust in a barely-there, cow print string bikini while caressing her curves seductively and frolicking around the beach.
The style maven posed up a storm on a lifeguard stand and covered her private areas in a raunchy snap that left little to the imagination.
And she enjoyed time at a hut-bar, looking like magazine cover material as she sipped on a foreign bottle of beer.
‘Ah it iz my birthdáe,’ the Hidden Figures actress penned in the caption.
Monae added a makeup-free clip of herself bathing in an outdoor shower and playfully shaping her short locks into a Mohawk.
The Kansas native’s birthday post was a hit with her 5.4M fans, racking up thousands of likes and hundreds of comments wishing the star well.
‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN OF QUALITY. Praying that GOD keeps you lifted in abundance in your new year around the sun. SHINE,’ one fan wrote.
Another chimed in, ‘Happy Birthday, Janelle! I’m on season 5 of this video.’
Earlier this year, the 10-time Grammy nominee opened up about her personal fashion sense and who her style icons are.
’12monkeys,’ she revealed. ‘I think maybe my style icons are the different versions of myself: I live in different realms, so the version of me that lives in 1960, 2719 or 2805.
‘I think about the magazines that exist in those times and take inspiration from that. I am drawn down lots of rabbit holes and into uncovering the universe.’
She also previously explained that tuxedos are part of her signature style.
Monae said of the look: ‘I bathe in it, I swim in it, and I could be buried in it. A tux is such a standard uniform, it’s so classy and it’s a lifestyle I enjoy. The tux keeps me balanced.
‘I look at myself as a canvas. I don’t want to cloud myself with too many colors or I’ll go crazy. It’s an experiment I’m doing. I think I want to be in the Guinness Book of World Records.’
The singer, who identifies as ‘queer’, kicked off her musical career back in 2003 with the release of her debut album, The Audition.
In 2007, she signed a contract with Bad Boy Records to release her EP record Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase).
She then ventured into acting, starring in 2016’s Moonlight and Hidden Figures and has also gone on to star the films Harriet and Glass Onion.
During her two-decade long career, she has released four studio albums and is currently represented by Atlantic Recording Corporation.
The multihyphenate’s fourth record, The Age of Pleasure, was nominated for Album of the Year at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards earlier this year.
According to Genius, Monae has over 200 songs in her discography with the most popular being We Are Young, Classic Man and Q.U.E.E.N..
