You may have gotten used to Jhene Aiko in bathing suit tops and maxi skirts with bare feet and flowers in her hair, but the Souled Out artist is leaving her hippie steez behind for an edgy couture shoot with ELLE.com.

In the feature titled “Jhene Aiko Steps Out Of Her Comfort Zone,” the soulful songstress wears a number of luxurious pieces, including digs from the newest Prada collection.

Jhene might not be dressed as her usual self,  but the black and white portraits capture her sweet and sincere persona. It’s been a long time coming for the singer, who was previously recognized for her feature vocals with R&B boy group B2K, but since then, she’s produced singles with Childish Gambino, J. Cole, and traveled with Drake on his “Would You Like A Tour” world tour.

Not to mention she’s landed a number of magazine covers and features, and her debut album hits stores soon.

Jhene Aiko is definitely on the rise, but it’s clear from these photos that she’s just a humble and down to earth soul. Check out some of the effortlessly beautiful pics from the ELLE shoot and for more, head to the site.
