Revenge beauty: 12 on-screen transformations that exposed inner darkness

Whenever you Google the words ‘revenge make-up’, the outcomes mostly discuss with the concept of showing an ex-lover what they’re missing through the beautifying effects of a makeover.

Courtesy of Noemie Marguerite One thing we are able to count on Harlem Fashion Row to do is honor Black excellence, beauty, and style. NYFW kicked off the SS25 season with the seventeenth annual fashion show and awards ceremony, founded by Brandice Daniel. The evening honored fashion’s biggest names: Naomi Campbell, Teyana Taylor, Samira Nasr, and Shiona Turini. Not only that, it was a time to highlight latest collections from rising Black designers like Aaron Potts, Nicole Benefield, and LaTouché. To accompany the looks—which ranged from tailored suits to daring maxi skirts— were, in fact, aspirational makeup and hair moments, too. A.
