Who knew M.I.A. came out with a clothing line? We did. M.I.A. has caught our eye a few times — remember when she was the week's Fab favorite? — and her clothing line, Okley by M.I.A., is ready for judging. The performer definitely has her own funky, urban style. If you're into it, you might like these The Afrika Leggings ($85). They totally remind me of the TV show A Different World and Cross Colours. Any takers?

what do you expect - it's M.I.A.?
1Horrid!
2Eek...not for me, that's for sure!
3Whoa, not for me either. Plus, as they are such statement leggings, you'd have to be very thin to wear them!
4Horizontal stripping leggings. I'm going to have to go with no even if the pattern wasn't ridiculous.
5I know that I can't pull these off but kudos to those that can!
6would never ever wear them, even at home.
7They are loud and tacky. I don't like M.I.A.'s personal style either. It's annoying.
8I like the colors but I wouldn't wear them.
9The way the leggings are shown here, not so much. I would never wear that style of shoe, a sandal would look better. I would wear these leggings under a summer dress or skirt in a contrasting color. chic.
10I absolutely LOVE them, but my big legs definitely can't pull those off
11They remind me of tetrist.
12Pass.
13LOVE IT.
I wish I could convince myself to spend $85 on leggings.
Any suggestions on how to get the look for less?
14cute in a different way, but not my style at all
15I'm not surprised, It's M.I.A and this is her style. I'm just not a fan of her and I dont like the leggings either.
16Pegona- American Apparel has similar ones, but they aren't as colorful. http://store.americanapparel.net/rsa8349p.html
17i love m.i.a. Definitely do not love the leggings though.
18I love hate them ahahaha! While I feel they will look great on M.I.A I don't' think they will look good on "her fans". I went to her concert this year and I saw people dressed up like her looking like damned fools it was hilarious!
19She looks technicolor-homeless. I doubt I'll be buying anything of hers.
20lmao @ bastylefilegirl's comment. so true. ppl seem to forget that as much as they love someone, they should never copy that person's style. i'm an m.i.a. fan and i think she looks great in her clothing but i would never ever dress like her b/c it's not me and i couldn't pull it off. like these leggings. not for me. she did make my wardrobe a little more colorful though. i have a yellow shirt amidst all the grey and black in my closet now
21I love MIA and her style but WOW her clothing is super expensive... Its almost $100 for a T shirt.. that's ridiculous. I didn't notice any of the money going to charity either, although I would expect some funds to go to her school. IDK! To me it seems like she would advocate spending less on clothing and more on ppl in 3rd world countries who need food. Just a thought. LOVE MIA THOUGH!!!!
22these are most definitely made for M.I.A. most of the hipster crowd can find a way to pull these off, but they aren't for everybody.
23Never, ever in a gazillion years would I wear these.
24Ooh so 80s. I like it...not for 85 bucks though.
25Those leggings are TRAIN WRECK. Ugh.
26I could never pull these off, but I bet some people could and I think they're very cool and unique - they could definitely work, though, in the same way that the Victor & Rolf ones that Shalom Harlow wore so many different ways in that virtual fashion show...
27Love M.I.A., love her style-- for her. She's a multimedia artist who makes statements for a living. I personally wouldn't be caught dead in any of it.
28I'll pass. Those things hurt my eyes.
29EW.
30Wow - more like "instant fat legs" than leggings
31Love M.I.A but hate the leggings. They would probably look cool on her but that's not my style.
32what an ugly thing did she actually wasted her time to create this!
33i like them but would never be able to pull them off.
34Why are they called Afrika leggings? The design looks more like a mexican blanket to me...
35AWFUL!
36It would depend on what you wore with them and your attitude, I'm not really sure if they are for me though
37They remind me of Cross Colours and a Different World in a bad way. Plus the price sucks.
38uuum no
39With the right outfit, yes!
