En Vogue

Catching En Vogue in 2022 on the NKOTB The Mixtape Tour performing ‘Whatta Man’ alongside hip hop legends Salt-N-Pepa is the stuff fangirl dreams are made of. En Vogue members Cindy Herron, Terry Ellis and Rhona Bennett remind us that great ‘voices’ and music are always in demand.  From bringing down the house as Queen Cobra on Fox’s hit show The Masked Singer to dazzling the stage on Dancing With The Stars, their undeniable gift is always in style.
