YARA SHAHIDI at Vogue World on September 14th 2023 in London wearing VICTORIA BECKHAM
Something about this look really drew my eye. The dress isn't the most interesting, with the dark color and simple design, but it still really stood out. The color looked amazing on Yara. I liked that she paired it with fishnets, the texture really made the look interesting. Her jewelry stood out against the dark look, and I absolutely love the hairstyle. This was a really solid look overall.

The Black Akuma Class and Hair based on that one Black-ish episode. Ya’ll know which one I’m talking about
Alysha: ‘What’s a hair day?’ There are so many different types of hair days.
—
Safiya: When Black Women think of hair day, they think of wash day, they think of sore arms.
—
Chavonne: Detangling to conditioning to hot oil treatments.
—
Marquita: When I was a kid, that meant, like, leaning over a sink while maman would- like at awkward angles- putting my head in the sink and running water and shampooing my hair.
—
Safiya: What a relaxer is- it is a creamy chemical substance which takes kinky, curly hair, and straightens it.
—
Liana: I had my first relaxer when I was seven. I begged, begged for straight hair.
—
Nangwaya: I heard that getting a relaxer can be very painful.
—
Iman: Girls sit there while it burned in little, tiny parts, and then the stylists would say, “Ba- just- j-j- Don’t be tender-headed.”
—
Andre: If I decided to go natural… How would this go?
Julanah: Well, you would start with the big chop.
Andre: … The big chop?
Marcus: Did someone say ‘big chop?’ Andre, come on, we doing this, or what? *Pulls out a razor* I can get you natural in less than ten minutes.
Andre: What is he talking about?
Julanah: Basically, the Big Chop means that we cut off all the relaxed hair, and what’s left is a really cute short haircut. Like Nico’s.
Marcus: It’s the only way to go.
—
Kimani: There’s Dookie braids, “Poetic Justice” braids, and just so many more kinds of braids. I’m always wearing braids, ‘cause I swim a lot.
—
Alysha: Twist outs, braid outs, Bantu knots, kinky twists. I love my hair. It’s versatile. I can do what I want with it.
—
Myana: Updos, down’dos, ponytails, pigtails. Our hair just… It can be anything.
—
Liana: You know what he needs? A toupee. Andre, trust me, wigs have done wonders for me over the years. I want braids. I get ‘em in two seconds. A taper cut? Boom. On me just like that.
Andre: I’m not wearing a toupee.
Nangwaya: Exactly. Put the boy in some whicks and call it a day.
Julanah: Yeah, that’s a good idea. And when he’s grown his hair out, I can hook him up with some locs. How does that sound, Andre?
Nico: Guys, guys, the style doesn’t matter… As long as it pisses Gabriel off, we’re set.
