Back in June, Tia Mowry got the big chop to celebrate her newfound singledom. But despite the tapered cut, Mowry has not let it limit any of her hairstyles, as we've seen her wear knee-length box braids and spiky space buns as of early June. And her latest look, a curly braided ponytail, might just be my favorite from her because it looks fit for a princess (which IMO, she is).

Mowry wore her curly braided ponytail to celebrate Gabrielle Union's Proudly Hair Care Launch event held in Los Angeles on September 14. She showed up at the event in a green, flared, plaid dress with black shoes and a matching bag. Her dark hair was parted in the middle and then slicked back into a high ponytail. That ponytail was then braided about two-thirds of the way down her collarbone area. The unbraided part of the ponytail was left out in glossy, voluminous curls that cascaded all the way to her hips.

Besides this cute photo she took with Union, Mowry also shared a few selfies of her look on her Instagram stories, giving us a better look at her makeup, too. She opted for a muted smoky eye with pewter shimmer on her lids. The dark pigments were also blended on her lower lash line. In her selfies, she wore a nude matte lip, but for the event later on, it appeared that she topped it off with a brown lip gloss.

We have long heralded Tia Mowry's creative hairstyles because whether you're looking for braided, curly, or straight hair inspiration, she has something for you. And this time, she must have been looking out for me specifically.
