She’s received 7 American Music Awards, 7 Grammy Awards, 5 Soul Train Music Awards, 5 Billboard Music Awards, and 2 NAACP Awards. Simply put, this woman is packing lots of talent.

While Toni Braxton has made a huge career making hits, she’s also kept us talking with her timeless beauty and sexy taste in fashion. She has never played coy when comes to red carpet events. High slits, sheer dresses, and deep V-neck gowns are usually her go-to looks.

At the height of the pandemic, Toni had us squirming in our seats as she pranced around the pool in a thong bikini. The award-winning singer makes life in her 50’s look like a walk in the park. Physically, she is in the best shape ever. Two children later, Toni’s body is goals!

Today the musical genius turns 54. She’s given us so many timeless sexy looks, its unbelievable. Honestly, Toni Braxton could teach a course on how to exude confidence on the red carpet. In honor of her birthday, we’re counting down five times she oozed sex appeal.

The starlet was a complete household name, and she was the object of just about every man – and woman’s – affection.  Toni didn’t shy away from sexy clothing. In fact, she wore them with the utmost confidence. She is also one of the celebrities that made short pixie cuts the look of the 90’s. I’m pretty sure Toni Braxton had no clue just how big her career was about to become at the time this photo was taken. 

2. TONI BRAXTON AT THE GRAMMY AWARDS, 2001

The deep V-neck accentuated her cleavage.  Toni’s fearless red carpet fashion showed women how to embrace their bodies in a way that is tasteful and fun. This was of the era where woman began to trade in their oversized clothes for high slits, low-rise jeans, and bandeau tops.  Now a days, this dress would be worn unapologetically by an artist like Cardi B or Meagan thee Stallion. Toni Braxton was one of the few musicians to set the trend for dresses like this.
