Finally! Natural hair celebrated at the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Is this what Heaven looks like?

During Monday’s broadcast of the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, several Angels blessed the runway, modeling their natural hair.

Maria Borges, who made history by debuting her natural hair on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway last year, joined Herieth Paul in rocking her TWA, or teeny weeny Afro. Meanwhile, Jourdana Phillips had us enraptured by her blonde cut, and Alanna Arrington showed us the way, truth and the life with her free-flowing tresses.

Beyoncé, Drake, Kanye West lead 2017 Grammy nominations

Lemonade is the drink of choice for Recording Academy voters.

Beyoncé’s genre-smashing behemoth leads the 2017 Grammy Awards nominations with nine nods, including album of the year. She is joined in the category by Adele’s 25, Drake’s Views, Justin Bieber’s Purpose and Sturgill Simpson’s A Sailor’s Guide to Earth.

In addition to record and song of the year nominations for defiant lead single Formation, Beyoncé is recognized across a variety of song categories. Hold Up is competing for best pop solo performance, Don’t Hurt Yourself (featuring Jack White) is up for best rock performance and Freedom (with Kendrick Lamar) is contending for best rap/sung performance. Lemonade, which Beyoncé unveiled as a one-hour HBO special this spring, is also nominated for best music film and urban contemporary album, while Formation’s visual is up for best music video.

Jurors do not like to believe that a police officer could be a murderer. When you have these on-duty violent encounters, they just are not willing to second-guess the split-second life or death decisions that officers make.
