Janelle Monáe Gets the Cartier Trinity 100 Crowd Dancing in Miami’s Design District
On Tuesday night in Miami’s Design District, Janelle Monáe stepped behind the DJ booth on the top floor of Cartier’s Trinity 100 exhibition installation.
“Tonight we dance,” the star told the room, queuing up Prince’s “1999.” “Tonight we party.”
VIP guests including Pritika Swarup, Cindy Mello and stylist Beverly Nguyen wandered through the immersive exhibition’s numerous rooms, which highlight the collection’s history dating back to when Louis Cartier designed the first piece in 1924. On the upper floor, a mirrored photo with the exhibition logo, giant interconnected Trinity rings, kept partygoers entertained as they sipped Champagne and navigated the room’s giant winding photo strip installation.

Meanwhile, Monáe was giving a spirited DJ performance, shimmying and waving her hands in the air to the beat and encouraging the crowd to follow her lead. “I wanna see you all dance,” she called out.
The Cartier exhibition, which has popped up in cities including Shanghai and Paris, is open to the public through the remainder of Miami Art Week, until Sunday.
