Jodie Turner-Smith is setting the standard for goddess braids with her flawless take on the style. On April 7, the actress was spotted in Los Angeles while promoting her new show, The Agency. For the occasion, Turner-Smith wore sultry, smoked-out winged eyeliner, muted brows, and a stunning high ponytail.
Her version of goddess braids had a bohemian vibe. Each braid was pulled up to the top of her head and secured with a ponytail elastic. The ends of the braids were then wrapped around the elastic, creating a seamless look. The ombré brown curls at the ends of the braids beautifully complemented her warm brown-toned makeup. Turner-Smith paired the hairstyle with a black-and-white chevron dress, a gray clutch, and sky-high stilettos. A deep red manicure added a subtle pop of color to complete her glamorous look.
Goddess braids, a protective hairstyle, have gained popularity since 2018. Originally inspired by locs, the style was created by Dr. Kari Williams in 2015. Celebrities like Simone Biles, Gabrielle Union, and Zoe Kravitz have embraced the style, which has since appeared on runways and become a staple of street style.
