Zendaya Hosted Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Show Featuring All Black Women

Zendaya presented her first collection with Tommy Hilfiger in Paris with a soulful backdrop of music and featuring an all-black cast of models.

The actress, singer and now fashion designer wanted to pay homage to the black women who have paved the way for her success.  

 With the encouragement of her creative partner and stylist, Law Roach, Zendaya decided to go for it. She told Hilfiger, “I want to make a show inspired by the women who made it possible for me to be in the position where I am now. Honestly, I just wanted to say “thank you” to them through this show.

Her show included a cast of 59 black models, from 18 to 70 years old. Icons such as Beverly Johnson, Veronica Webb, Beverly Peele, Pat Cleveland, and Grace Jones participated in the legendary show. 

Not only were all the models black women, there was full body and age diversity with hair and makeup by iconic black pioneers Pat McGrath and Kim Kimble.

There is categorically no trend on Twitter that will ever ever ever beat this ‘girls do it better’ thing we’ve got going because honestly it’s just meaning we’re getting photos of beautiful girls recreating this look and my lesbian ass is living for it

This was too brilliant to not share with you all.

A fun little ghost animation

Mind. Blown. Netflix Avatar: The Last Airbender LIVE ACTION SERIES coming soon from co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko

Yes. You read that correctly.

A live-action adaptation of ATLA is coming to Netflix, executive produced and showrun by ATLA and TLOK co-creators and showrunners Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, collectively known to the fans as Bryke.

Here’s what Bryke had to say:

“We’re thrilled for the opportunity to helm this live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. We can’t wait to realize Aang’s world as cinematically as we always imagined it to be, and with a culturally appropriate, non-whitewashed cast. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to build upon everyone’s great work on the original animated series and go even deeper into the characters, story, action, and world-building. Netflix is wholly dedicated to manifesting our vision for this retelling, and we’re incredibly grateful to be partnering with them.”

Obviously we’ll be covering this in full. Expect a LOT of news, this could be one of Netflix’s biggest productions, on the scale of House of Cards, Stranger Things, and The Crown… this could be their competitor to HBO’s Game of Thrones and its upcoming spinoffs, Amazon’s Lord of the Rings prequel series, and Disney’s live action Star Wars series… this could be really, really BIG…

GET HYPED!!!

Production will begin in 2019.
