We always get a kick out of celebrities who steer away from their go-to beauty choices and last night, Ruth Negga undoubtedly took the cake with her hairstyle. The Loving actress hit the red carpet in a Valentino gown with ornate cape detail, which she paired with a killer set of straight back cornrows.
The edgy ‘do, styled by hair guru Lacy Redway, is quite the departure from the curly coif she’s rocked virtually all awards season and we’re completely in love with it. Her braids also made an appearance on the afterparty scene, where she was spotted with longtime boyfriend Dominic Cooper.
Maybe she just wanted to switch things up….or maybe she did it for the culture. One thing’s for sure–we hope she does it again!
