Channeling Space Jam‘s Lola Bunny, Monáe had a blast during the Ruffles All-Star Celebrity Game as her team’s secret weapon who spread good energy despite getting her only shot blocked by former NFL superstar Calvin Johnson.
She also slayed in a curve-caressing Mugler bodysuit (Mugler Monáe!) during her halftime performance at the NBA All-Star game.
