In Taylor Swift s new "You Need to Calm Down" music video, there s not just an excess of celebrity cameos and Easter eggs, but there’s hair in all shapes, colors, and sizes. From Swift s rainbow waves to Katy Perry s atomic orange updo, it s hard to know where to look—or what to moodboard—first. But amidst all the done-up styles in the saccharine-sweet video, it s Laverne Cox s voluminous sun-kissed lengths that win out as she holds court in front of a bubblegum pink trailer and green lawn spangled with flamingo garden stakes.
Sharing a behind-the-scenes clip hashtagged #TransIsBeautiful, the actress and LGBTQ activist channels her inner Brigitte Bardot with help from hairstylist César Ramirêz, her platinum mane styled into a sultry, laissez-faire bouffant that s teased at the crown with a cascade of soft, waist-grazing waves. Playing up the glamour of her bombshell hair in a sequin halter gown with a plunging neckline, Cox s natural glow looks extra luminous accented by frosted metallic lids, rosy cheeks, and slick of shimmering pink lip gloss. "Thanks Taylor for having me, I m trying to calm down," joked Cox on Instagram. But let s be real, the boundary-breaking star s beauty is best unbridled.
