November has come with a bang. The season has been an abundant reminder that the holidays are upon us, and with that season come looks that are also equally worth celebrating.
For starters, a few of our favs have been putting fun spins on classic updos. Take, for example, Angel Reese, who just celebrated her debut in The Hunting Wives at the show’s season premiere, in a half up, half down ‘do, by Davontae’ Washington, that felt like a nod to the millennial hair bump. The top was part bump, part bun, and the rest hung long and silky smooth down her back. Cherry-kissed makeup by Autavis Newkirk and a romantic corset dress, styled by The Reismans , also tied everything together.
And, speaking of sleek looks, Sheryl Lee Ralph’s blunt high ponytail, done by DaVonte Elijah , for the Daytime Emmys, felt aspirational. Complementing the look was an all black knit dress with ruffled sleeves, styled by her daughter, ivy Coco Maurice. A glowy makeup look was slayed by Patrikk J.
Meanwhile, Love Island ladies Jana Craig, Trinity Tatum, Aniya Harvey, and Chelley Bissainthe all demonstrated how versatile updos can be at the Ebony Magazine’s Power 100 Gala: a low bun with piecey bangs, a curly bun updo, a silk press tied up into a chignon, and a braided bun.

But, some stars have still been letting their hair down, too. Opting for volume of course. Take Ciara, for example, who stunned in recent, playful maternity flicks. She posed with honey-toned strands, a plate of spaghetti, and a white crop top that showed off the belly. Brandy and Monica also got the memo for their high gloss photo shoot celebrating their upcoming Vegas residency this upcoming spring. Tisha Campbell also saw bouncy curls to be fit for the Ebony gala, while Quinta Brunson stunned in a crimped ‘do that hung past her shoulders, in the perfectly fall shade of ginger.
And while long hair has seemed to take center stage this season thus far, don’t get it twisted. Short cuts are still a main character offering subtle sexy sophistication. Fantasia knows that for sure. Her recent photo, for The Gospel of Christmas premiere, showed her in an angular, ultra chic pixie cut and sharp red nails to complement it. Kandi Burruss rocked a blunt black bob, which you can never go wrong with—especially when it’s paired with a figure-hugging, black cut out dress like hers. And Ayo Edibiri also rocked a bob, but hers was pin curled and brown. A pinstripe suit, much like Tatayana Ali’s, didn’t hurt, either.
Below, see a few favorite looks from the Timelines Beauties of the week.
