It seems like Ms Ross is all about the protective styling when she’s not rocking her gorgeous curls ;) She was spotted this week rocking chic french braids and a slicked back bun while spending time in New York with her boyfriend, Bu Thiam. I think both looks are absolutely gorgeous. Her hair looks so healthy! Ladies, what do you think? Would you rock these looks? More photos below. All photos courtesy of TheYBF.com.













if the shorts were a tinge bit longer, I hate the cheeky look. The hair is gorg!
Your comment is spot on! I don’t agree with the cheeky look at all (despite the fact that she has toned legs), especially on a woman her age, but she never goes wrong in the hair department!
I’m from London and that style has been around for years. In fact its been around so long, its come round again. We would call it putting your hair into”two canerow”. It was huge in the 70′s and 80′s and then nobody would rarely walk the street with their hair in that style. But like many things its now retro, so its ok now.
Love it and love her.
I usually like her style (or maybe I liked her Joan Carol Clayton style and now her Carla Reed style?), but I’m not feeling those mom jeans cutoff. The other outfit I sort of forgive because it’s clear that she was traveling, and for many, comfort is more important than style while on the plane.
She’ll forever be one of my favorite hair icons, though.
so sad her new show Reed Between the Lines was canceled, I used to love to see what she would wear and style her hair on each episode
I just read the show was renewed along with the other shows on BET…
does it really have to be a “protective” style and not just a “hair style”? I mean, sometimes I put a braid in my hair because it is aestetically (spelled wrong, i know) pleasing. Sometimes I just feel we over-analyze other naturals.
I think the bun makes it a protective style; the fact that her ends are hidden :)
Buts its in a protective style so how is it over analyzing???
Yeah that’s not her in the cutoff jeans. The hair texture is different and so is the body shape.
Why are black women such haters? There was no need to comment on your dislike of her shorts, how she looks, or her man. Can we show love
for one another sometimes. It seems we are our worst enemy.
I like her hair and she looks comfortable for traveling to me.
Agreed. Its not even a black thing. If you people didn’t like what she wore, why bother commenting? Just leave it alone. Some people are talking as if they are on point with their style ever time they walk out of their house.
AMEN Reallady!!!
Ms. Ross!!!! Yas Honey!
I LOVE the shorts…and the hair :)
