There’s no denying that Black women continue to set the bar when it comes to beauty and style. Last week was no exception. Amid the high-octane glamour of celebrity life, our favorite star girls showed up in glam offerings that didn’t just complement their outfits, they commanded attention. From the red carpet at the 2025 Tony Awards to buzzy movie premieres and media appearances, their beauty looks were nothing short of a visual feast.
This week’s beauty trends leaned in two directions—barely-there or bold and nostalgic. The 2025 Tony Awards beauty looks captured that balance. On one end, stars like Cynthia Erivo kept things minimal, letting skin and lashes do the talking. On the other hand, glossy lips and defined eyes brought throwback glam into the spotlight. We also noticed a rise in fluffy brows, soft mattes, and lashes that fluttered with intent. Plus, with Jourdan Dunn’s curly pixie moment, short hair is clearly having a summer. In all, the mood is simple: less fuss, more flair.
The Looks
Makeup
At the 2025 Tony Awards, Cynthia Erivo made a compelling case for the power of subtle beauty. Opting for a monochromatic, barely-there palette, she leaned into her signature sans-brows look, but with a twist. Bold spider lashes brought unexpected drama, while matte beige lips added a soft, grounded touch. The result? A doll-up that felt restrained, yet undeniably edgy.
Meanwhile, at the premiere of Tyler Perry’s Straw, Taraji P. Henson brought full-on glam with a nostalgic twist. Her defined brows played in harmony with fluffy lashes and razor-sharp winged liner. A glossy ’90s-inspired lip sealed the deal—high-shine, high-impact, and impossible to ignore.
Hairstyle
Short hair is a warm-weather classic, and last week, Jourdan Dunn proved why the curly pixie remains undefeated. Posing effortlessly for the ‘Gram, she wore the style with confidence and cool-girl edge. Flirty, bold, and refreshingly low-maintenance, it’s the perfect celeb-approved switch-up for your summer hair rotation.
