Alicia Keys is an award-winning singer-songwriter and an accomplished actress, author and entrepreneur who is known for empowering women through female-focused anthems like "Girl on Fire" and her work as an activist (talk about a multi-hyphenate!). So it seems only fitting that her latest project, an athleisure collection with Athleta, is launching on International Women's Day.
Keys has teamed up with the popular activewear company to create a collection that "brings together Keys' style with Athleta's consciously inclusive designs," the company shared in a recent press release.

But the new partnership isn't just about fashion. The release shared Keys will be joining the Power of She Fund as a mentor and advisor. The grant program, which was created by the Women's Sports Foundation and Athleta, aims to empower women and girls through movement and connection. Keys will also help select recipients of the grants.
"I was drawn to Athleta because we both want to encourage women to discover, accept and OWN their power," Keys shared in the release. "We're all about the uniqueness of women, body positivity and creating a lifestyle that showcases our immeasurable power within. It's time to thrive — not just to survive — and my hope is that these offerings are another outlet for you to amplify your personal power, your possibility and feel comfortable in your own skin."
The Alicia Keys x Athleta collection dropped today and is available online and in all Athleta retail locations, the brand shared. According to the company, the wardrobe staples in the collection are "celebration of womankind," featuring bold shapes, bright colors and are made to be "effortless layers for every body." Items in the line come in sizes XXS to 3X.
Here, 10 pieces from the new collection that we can't wait to add to our carts.
Athleta x Alicia Keys clothing collection
Keys Elation Bra A-C
This sports bra is designed to support you through low-impact workouts like Pilates, yoga or barre, though we also imagine that it would be a great choice for everyday wear. You can get it in three fun, bright colors: Pyramid Gold, Raspberry Fuschia or Jewel Orange.
Keys Elation Tight
Make it a complete set and grab the matching Elation Tights as well. Both the leggings and the above bra are made from the brand's Powervita fabric, which Athleta says is "buttery soft with support that feels like a gentle hug."
Keys Utility Jumpsuit
Whether you're running errands or lounging at home, you'll look cool and feel comfortable in this utility jumpsuit. It's made from a lightweight, soft fabric that's lined for added coverage.
Keys Rib Crop Tank
This cropped tank is the perfect choice for both sweaty workouts and chill afternoons at home. It's available in three colors, but we're eyeing the spring-ready fuchsia shade.
Keys Wide Leg Pant
Wide-leg pants are in right now, and Keys is helping you get in on the trend with these chic bottoms. They're made from a modal blend material, which the brand says is breathable and sweat-wicking. Plus, they even have a zip pocket in the back, so you can securely store your keys or cash.
Keys Elation Rib 9" Short
Shorts season is almost here! And you can prep your wardrobe for the warmer weather with these ribbed biker shorts. They feature a three-layer waistband that is said to provide support and help streamline your shape.
Keys High Waist Utility Pant
With a lightweight fabric, drawstring waist and adjustable cinch system at the ankles, these utility pants are designed to be a comfortable pick for lounging or heading to the store. Even better, the brand says that the fabric is wrinkle-resistant (aka travel-friendly) so we suggest bringing them along on your next vacation.
Keys Hoodie
While you're at it, you're also going to want to add this hoodie to your travel wardrobe. According to the brand, it's also made with wrinkle-resistant fabric and is lined to help keep you warm on chilly spring nights.
Keys Relaxed Crop Tee
According to the global fashion shopping platform Lyst, oversized styles are going to be huge in 2022. And this relaxed crop top is one way to introduce the trend into your athleisure collection. The hem sits right above your natural waist, so it's perfect to pair with high-waisted leggings or jeans.
Keys Maxi Robe
A robe that you can wear outside of the house? We're sold! This maxi robe is made from a "buttery soft" material that "drapes like a dream," the brand shares. Pair it with PJs or jeans, it seems like there's no wrong way to style this fashionable staple.
