Cardi B Goes PLATINUM
Wearing a Thom Browne dress, Cardi B stole the carpet in a shiny, black dress made of black roses that drifted upward into a tight bodice and sleeveless shirt and tie.

Maya Hawke’s Retro Shag
Wearing a beautiful white floral dress with a high collar, Maya Hawke rocked one of the most popular haircuts for summer 2023: the wavy shag. Dominating for the past three years, this textured look has gone through many variations: from the “wolf cut” to the “octopus cut”. In a sandy, coppery brown and a matte finish, Maya looked like she just ran in out of the sea at Monte Carlo.
Precious Lee’s Massive Mane!
For Precious Lee’s look, celebrity hairdresser Mideyah Parker created a waist length mane of rich, chocolate brown colored hair with “peek a boo” highlights around the hairline. A thick leather headband lifted the hair up and away from the face to a slightly teased bump at the crown, a nod to Naomi Campbell’s runway look in 1994. The overall color blend in the hair was ribbon.

Out of every single look on the carpet, it was Quinta Brunson’s epic sculpted braided updo. Wearing a Prabal Gurung pink dress with black tulle, the hairstyle featured braids drawn upward into three rounded buns or beautifully textured coils in the shape of a 3 leaf clover with pink feathers placed inside. But most dreamily was the slicked down, artistic baby hairs framing her face like an art deco flapper!
