It has been almost 25 years since Convey It On was launched, however I nonetheless have principally all the film memorized. To me, Gabrielle Union will all the time be Isis, the chief of the Compton Clovers, and her most up-to-date pink carpet look has me prepared for a rewatch. (Rewatch quantity, say, two million.)
For the premiere of her film Riff Raff on the Toronto Worldwide Movie Competition, Union and her hairstylist Larry Sims opted for a excessive, cheerleader-style ponytail along with her lipstick-print Prada costume. Her hair was pulled tightly again from her brow and gathered right into a ponytail proper on the crown of her head, with a portion of her hair wrapped across the base to disguise any hair bands or pins. The lengths had been styled straight and brushed behind her again, hitting about mid-shoulder with perky, flipped-out ends. This is how you’re taking the ponytail from the gymnasium to the pink carpet.

The actor went for a lightweight, minimal glam with subtly flushed cheeks and taupe eye shadow brushed throughout her lids, plus a impartial manicure on medium-length, almond-shaped nails.
There is a purpose the ponytail reveals up on the pink carpet so typically: as Union proves, it is tremendous versatile and might really do all of it. Her excessive pony is the best stability of glamorous, flirty, and sporty; she might simply change to her inexperienced Clovers uniform and it will look good with that outfit too. Ponytails may be ultra-long and opulent, just like the waist-length pony Jennifer Lopez wore to a premiere; braided, like Chlöe Bailey’s; sci-fi impressed, like Florence Pugh’s Dune premiere pony; or made primarily of shiny tinsel, like Union’s cousin Saweetie’s. In January, Union celebrated her husband Dwyane Wade’s birthday in Miami in a red-hot minidress with a high, curly ponytail that basically introduced the social gathering.
