Gabrielle Union’s Sculptural “Braid Flower” Updo Demands a Double Take

Charm is constantly art, however in specific circumstances, the belief takes a more actual turn. Such held true with Gabrielle Union’s newest hairdo, which toed the line in between updo and full-on sculpture. The star marched for the London best of Strange World with her onyx lengths woven into a gravity-defying looped and structural design that imitated an overstated blossom.

” It’s offering intertwined flower,” captioned hairdresser Issac Poleon, the brain behind the braid. The hypnotic hair played completely with Union’s archival embroidered Elie Saab dress, pulled from the designer’s fall 2008 ready-to-wear collection. The star’s makeup– used by makeup artist Esther Edeme— included luminescent touches with swipes of warming peach and a matte naked lip. Fall might be the season of falling leaves, however for Union, blooms are plentiful.
