Leave it to Amandla Stenberg to break the stigma against body hair. Yes, we all have it and we shouldn’t fuss over it too much. While attending the premiere of her film The Hate U Give, she wore a black Valentino gown. She was spotted posing with one hand on her waist, showing off her armpit hair.
On Instagram she captioned the photos, “#drama #armpit.” We, myself included, can learn a thing or two from Amandla’s bold move. Do you think she was inspired by Julia Roberts who did the same thing in 1999 during the premiere of Notting Hill?
