Spotted at the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Airport as she prepares for her summer holiday, Lupita Nyong’o touched down with her signature cropped curls traded in for a thick long braid, a look that took on a sleek minimalism, with the help of her graphic top and oversized angular sunglasses.

The picture went viral, because it confirmed Nyong’o’s summer transformation from her trademark cropped curls.
Worn as a frizz-fighting upgrade or fedora-ready hair strategy, side plaits have gone from a bohemian staple to a sleek, city-ready style that fares just as well with a worn-in leather jacket as an ethereal dress.
Fresh, well-moisturized skin and a swipe of nude lipstick provided a radiant dose of downtown cool that’s sure to extend its appeal well beyond festival season.
