With a return to the red carpet comes a desire to up the ante on previous beauty norms; at least for Storm Reid. At last night s premiere of The Suicide Squad in Los Angeles, Reid turned heads with a ponytail made avant-garde by its plaited texture and seemingly ceaseless length.
To further her grommeted Prada set, Reid opted for a high-slung ponytail long enough to fall in a Rapunzelian puddle at her feet. The work of hairstylist Nai vasha, Reid s sleek updo was tautly bound with wound silver before extending to the floor, the hyperbolic style providing opportunities for scarf-like shoulder draping, an irreverent swing, and a sculptural trail. “The inspiration for Storm’s 13-foot ponytail was whimsical glamour,” says Nai vasha. “The thought was to welcome fun and drama back to the red carpet. Storm absolutely embodied that.” Prada s of-the-moment Symbole earrings, a wing of onyx eyeliner edged in metallic, and a bright white pedicure completed the coordinated look, which felt somehow effortless despite its evident over-the-top appeal.
The unofficial beauty theme of 2021? Extra—and we are all in need of more.
