I wanna keep talking about Kiki Layne's Met Gala look & *why* it's so brilliant....

*sigh*

This silhouette is not only a bunch of checkmarks for all the gilded age girl fashion staples: the color pink, the corset buttons, the opera gloves, the close to the neck -necklace, the heavy halo of hair framing her face... But what it subverts given Kiki's immaculate face card (honestly the best face there, argue with your momma) and her being emphatically black, not just by being a black woman, by how she is styled especially the fro!!!... See, there was this "feminine ideal" in the gilded age called The Gibson Girl:

As drawn by Charles Gibson in the 1890's which lasted up until WWI, this was the feminine ideal of the era... Pure, beautiful, etheral, the right class, perfect. ...and WHITE. One big signature is the huge pile of hair that formed a heavy halo on the head. Anne, in the 1985 Anne of Green Gables, reached for this look in the concert scene here (note the pink sash, flower in her big red hair, neck hugging pearls, frilly detailing empasizing the clavicle and shoulders, and opera gloves):

and other "Gibson" girls taking the hair to pretty big halos:

even the middle-class Booker T. black women of the era adhered to this:

I mentioned the fros were *also* of the era... the exoticifed ideal of the Circassian woman:

These women were exhibited in traveling shows and given exotified backstories of having been kidnapped and sold into white slavery... from the Caucasus Mountians region, in the country of Georgia and regions south of Russia in Europe. They were exotified as "perfection" in beauty and known for their afro-textured hair.... but again WHITE. Now, the stylist for Miss Layne said she specifically chose the Afro as a purposeful nod to blackness within the opulence of the gilded styling... but KNOWING ALL OF THE ABOVE, her look goes well beyond just that into the startlingly subversive. Again... Kiki is soft, she's princess pretty, she's pure, ethereal, she's feminine, delicate, all of those things usually ascribed to whiteness.... while checking off the gilded style reference points AND being a black woman. And as we know, when it comes to the rareity of black women being seen as soft...

*every.*

* thing.* from the delicate way she is holding herself in this style, -she's wearing it, it's *not* wearing her (posture immaculate, hands delicately crossed) to again... Just her BEAUTY and her BLACK beauty in that Halo of Afro hair... She just stomped all over that Gibson aesthetic and proved she can best that ideal with emphatic blackness....soft fro, perfect face card, and all... all while hitting the assignment pitch perfect. And that, my friends, is why I LOVE THIS LOOK.

#a much needed girly distraction... #meta #kiki layne #gibson girl #met gala #best dressed #she literally looks like a doll any girl would get stars in her eyes seeing #every black woman there #save for danai and kiki adhered to a more comfortable aesthetic i.e. not kinky and natural #and rahda blank also brought something interesting to the table... will be reblogging that soon #met gala 2022 #lizzo and kiki are my faves looks of that night fyi #I have to add the Circassian women were actually Sunni Muslim #but often the show would just used white women with treated hair to create the fro texture

My Natural Hair Opinion

- Natural hair is not hard to manage

- Texturism is just as big of a problem and should be taken seriously

- Natural hair is not childish

- Everyone should be washing their hair once a week or once every two weeks

- Vet your hair braider, or hair hairstylist ( a lot of them could be colourist, texturist, and Featurist Don’t bring that negativity into your li. 

- Your hair porosity matters

- A lot of black women don’t know their true curl type so it’s best to just say that your hair is type 4 hair

- Not every protective style is protecting your hair

- There’s a lack of representation for fine hair, short natural hair/locs and type 4 hair

- Bring back hair, grease and let go of gummy gels . The only gel you need is a botentacle gel.

- Yes, you can incorporate heavy butters and creams in your hair regimen. If your hair likes it( do your research first)

- Stop using negative terminologies when describing your hair

- Cut off texturist friends

- Their difference between assimilation hairstyle and a protective natural hair style

- Your protective style should be in for no longer than 3-4 weeks maximum

-. Everybody Hair Care Journey Is Different

- It is extremely important to watch women who look like you have your hair type

-. Relaxers, chemical straighteners, addiction to having your hair straightened 24/7 is harm towards black women only to their physical health, their self-esteem/ mental health

Since I've been doing natural hair appreciation threads of others hair, here are a few pics of me and my hair over the years! 🥰

I've been natural my entire life and I have A LOT of shrinkage, hence the last 2 pictures. Some of these pictures were taken after taking my braids out.
