Meanwhile, food influencer Nara Smith turned to winter’s protective >Kayra Theodore, Smith’s braids were looped in every direction, ending in a bang-like ‘40s curl on her forehead. 

Keke Palmer’s pixie cut got darker, going from ginger to brown topped with orange, which matched Doechii’s metallic makeup shades. Cynthia Erivo shockingly switched up her maximalist manicure for minimal nudes, a tone Kerry Washington agreed with. And, to end the week, and year, Chloe Bailey rocked a wing so high it almost scathed her eyebrows.
