Corn Rows, Not Just For Bo Derek and Hip-Hop Stars
November 25, 2008 11:52am
Any doubts as to Olga Kurylenko’s street cred were put to rest today, when the Ukrainian model-turned-actress showed up to the Tokyo premiere of Quantum of Solace with corn rows and what appeared to be three ear piercings. The braids—finished off with a satin ribbon-tied bun—aren’t going to sit well with purist pundits who like their hair down and their Bond girls glamorous. But let us be the first to say—yes. Yes to a little street-gang flair on the red carpet, and yes to Kurylenko’s willingness to shake things up a bit. We like a little spunk in our secret agents.

Thank you for trivializing my culture and a way African women have been styling their hair for centuries . The recent adaption of this hair style by hip- hop culture is just a foot note in the tradition and significance of African hair styles.
im sorry, im not feeling this at all. its just too much, especially with the three rows of earrings.
ew, “trivializing” your culture? i see it as BIG UPS to your culture. we’re all god’s children here.
negativity is a waste of time…especially on a BEAUTY BLOG!
