Speak about Barbie! And speak about golden.

Olandria Carthen’s Blonde Hair

Worn styled in a deep facet half and tender, romantic waves, Carthen’s new hair coloration is a shiny, cool platinum blonde with barely darker root. It is a huge change up from the deep auburns and obsidian brunettes we have seen her in since she appeared on our TV screens, however a welcome one. She’d look good in something.

The mannequin’s new coloration was the work of Houston-based movie star stylist Micah (@officialmicah).

The designer initially confirmed the robe with a sculptural, rounded chestplate that rose up excessive sufficient to cowl the mannequin’s mouth. Nevertheless, Carthen opted for a straight-across neckline that landed proper at collarbone size—the right location for her tattoo to peek out.

She completed issues up with a milky manicure, Barbie-pink blush (clearly), shimmery shadow, and shiny lips. Ken (aka Nic Vansteenberghe) wasn’t round, however that is okay. Bama Barbie, like Barbie Barbie, is a star on her personal.
