At first glance, Janet’s curly do’ seems to be a modern take on an old classic. If you recall back when Got ’til It’s Gone, What About, Go Deep and I Get Lonely was ruling the charts; Janet rocked a head full of glamorous copper-red tone ringlets. The style is a look Janet not only used for her album cover that year, but in a plethora of videos and photoshoots.

Nevertheless, Jackson is back to performing and she seems to be back to one of her iconic hairstyles, i.e. VR days. Fans got a first glance and glimpse thanks to photographer, Solaiman Fazel. Fazel captured Janet backstage getting ready before she hit the stage out west in the United States. Janet was performing in the city that never sleeps, Las Vegas.

Now while there is a hard, fast rule that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Jackson’s new look broke that unspoken standard in all of two seconds. Janet Jackson posted a pic of herself posed in front of a mirror in all her curl glory with the caption, “New Year, new look.”

Will this iconic queen keep this look for the rest of the year? Probably not, because she is the master of reinvention. However, for now we love it and are glad to still she here switching up her chic hair game.

Angela Bassett Covers Allure End of Anti-Aging Issue- November 2018!

ArianneUpdated on October 9, 2018October 9, 2018

Hey Auntie… Black Panther’s Angela Bassett Covers Allure End of Anti-Aging Issue for November 2018 and we are over here about to lose it! There is no way on this green earth that this woman is one decade times 6!

The classic beauty and iconic actress is resetting the standard and redefining what true beauty means. All while continuing a long career in an industry known for preferring youth over maturity. For their November edition Allure explores this subject with the gorgeous Bassett in order to continue to forever change views on age and beauty.

Angela Bassett Covers Allure End of Anti-Aging Issue- November 2018

Nonetheless, why exactly did Allure want to choose Bassett for their second annual End of Anti-Aging edition? The journal reveals why Angela was an obvious selection by saying,

“Stop asking Angela Bassett why she looks ‘so young’ for her age. In our ‘End of Anti-Aging issue, we spoke to the actress about growing older; and being a woman of color in an unforgiving culture- and how that all is changing.

Angela Bassett doesn’t follow the rules, she makes them. That’s why she was the perfect choice to front our ‘End of Anti-Aging issue. Last year, we decided to make some new rules ourselves; banning the term ‘anti-aging’ from Allure. In 2018, we’re continuing the conversation to better recognize that growing older is beautiful.

[Also] from Reva Styles in ‘Boyz in the Hood’ to Marie Laveau in ‘American Horror Story’ Angela Bassett walks us through her most iconic onscreen beauty looks.”

Angela Bassett Covers Allure End of Anti-Aging Issue- November 2018 (Continued)

Another cool aspect of Angela’s cover and editorial is that was shot with the Google Pixel 3. Yes, Google’s latest phone drop (October 9, 2018- $799) is the piece of photography equipment used to showcase all that is Angela Bassett. Once more proving just how beautiful Angela is… all the woman needs is a measly phone camera. Goals.

Nevertheless, what advice does Angela have for looking your best as the years tick by? Get your tablets and pens ready y’all because Bassett is giving the formula. Allure’s Digital Editorial Director, Kelly Bales, recently shared the beauty intel by stating,

“As a kid watching ‘Waiting to Exhale’ I remember falling in love with the iconic strength and beauty of Angela Bassett. Her acting brought me to tears and when she lights that cigarette with the burning trash of her cheating husband’s stuff I STILL scream.

What an honor to have her on our second End of Anti-Aging issue. I leave you with advice she gives in our cover profile. ’60 is the new 40, or 70 is the new 50. It keeps getting pushed. But you have to keep the stress down and the attitude hot.”

Amen auntie! Read more of Angela Bassett’s awesome exclusive with Allure magazine. Check it out online now on Allure’s website.
