While you’re in a lady group where style is vital, having no nails isn’t ideal—especially in case you’re on set for a canopy shoot. “Hey, babe, can we get through this video, I promise we’ll glue all of those nails back on,” I say gently to Jorja for a fast pep talk, certainly one of the three members of Flo. “I had acrylic nails on, but they made me take them off for this shoot,” she responds, with a pout that a supermodel would envy.
On set, the entire group members needed to get custom “Flo” press-ons. Unfortunately for Jorja, hers kept falling off. So within the interest of time, she took one for the team and removed all her nails to get the video done—but she wasn’t blissful about it. After comfort from her group members as they walked on set to shoot their first look, she opened up with a burst of energy that brightened up the already flashy set.
A number of weeks before I met Flo, at Milk Studios in Los Angeles, I used to be in a position to interview the viral stars over Zoom. All three were in London, squeezed together on a couch to suit into the camera, and the conversation felt like a couple of old friends catching up. Renée Downer, 20, and Stella Quaresma, 21, are longtime pals who initially connected in secondary school (highschool); Jorja Douglas, 20, made the trio complete after they met her at an audition in 2019. Nonetheless, through the lens of an interviewer, you’d think the trio is related- ending one another’s sentences, speaking up when one could appear nervous, and fixing a hair for each other if a frizz is misplaced. “We get along so well,” says Renee. “I don’t see it working every other way. I wouldn’t have the opportunity to do it if there was anybody else.”
