The first full week of the new decade kicked off with the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards, and just continued with events that brought out the best in Black beauty. Our favorite celebrities served looks upon looks of head-turning hair, eye-popping makeup, and enviable flawless glowing skin.
And it didn’t matter whether they were getting dolled up for a red carpet event, or simply celebrating their melanin-rich beauty on social media—these ladies held nothing back. All in all we’d say it was a good week.
