On the front row at Chloe’s FW18 show, her pillow-like ‘fro and softly glistened lips made us question if we were in heaven. Then, she performed at Maryam Nassir Zadeh’s SS18 show in Afrocentric braids: jumbo cornrows wrapped in twine outlined with face-framing micro rows. But, her relationship with blonde hair didn’t end with braids. The following year, she cut and bleached her natural hair at Stuart Weitzman, then at the 2018 Met Gala, turned blonde braids into a halo with her natural hair covered in a black durag. While her makeup is often minimal—her Eldorado Ballroom looks require only a skin tint, mascara, and lip balm—Solange’s Met Gala beauty moment featured Diana Ross-like bottom lashes and smokey shadow. 

Covered in pearls, she continued her fashion show tour at Kenzo’s SS20 show, performing in a white pedicure and antenna-like fixtures popping out of her pretzeled twists. A few years later, she debuted her Saint Heron glassware collection during her A House Is Not A Home screening wearing a glass blown manicure and a simple shimmer eyeshadow (think: ILIA Beauty’s Eye Stylus Shadow Stick in “Opulent”). In her most recent beauty look, she attended Telfar’s 20th anniversary show over the weekend, donning wet-textured water waves and a natural French tip which proved just how beautiful her naked features are.
