Zendaya Coleman is one starlet who is never afraid to give a bold hairstyle a try. Moreover, even when there have been those that have attacked her sense of style she put them in place… with grace of course! Therefore, speaking of “grace” if anyone would ever have the guts to channel an iconic look worn by one of fashion’s elite it would have to be by someone confident as well as fearless right?

Well, we definitely have to give it up to Coleman for being such a doll (btw she really is one thanks to Barbie)  and paying homage to the legendary Grace Jones with her strands. Zendaya posed for a Mane Addicts photo shoot rocking a High Top Fade that also gave us Kid N’ Play vibes (google kiddies, you’ll get a kick out of those pics when you find them LOL). Nevertheless, all the hair fun did not just stop with Grace Jones, hair stylist Larry Sims showed off his amazing skills using Brooke Shields and Diana Ross as inspiration as well!

Larry Sims is one of our favorite hair stylists of all time because he NEVER disappoints. We first became fans seeing his work for Janet Jackson’s All For You tour. Who can forget watching the HBO special and seeing her wavy extensions literally get caught in her sunglasses and she just tugged till they slipped out like it was her own hair. Moreover, she ran her fingers THROUGH like it was her own and nothing was getting hung up anywhere. When it comes to hair that is some serious skills and technique to make tresses look and feel so natural.

Moreover, we love all the various styles that Larry always creates for Lupita Nyong’o. Natural hair can be way healthier than chemically treated hair, but as any woman can attest to, sometimes you just don’t know how to style natural locks. Sims demonstrates time and time again that there is a wide range of styles that can be achieved on natural hair. So then, enjoy the quick look at Zendaya’s stunning hair transformations!
