Talking Beauty With Yara Shahidi
Allure|October 2019
This actor spends a lot of time on campus— when she’s in character as a college student on Grown-ish (a continuation of her breakout role on Black-ish) and when she’s just playing herself: a 19-year-old starting her sophomore year at a real-life Ivy League school. (You may have also caught her this summer in Stan Lee’s Alliances: A Trick of Light on Amazon’s audiobook service, Audible.) Maybe that’s why Shahidi has emerged as a thoughtful voice with a maturity far beyond her 19 years. As she takes on a new role as an ambassador for Bobbi Brown, we sat down with her while she parsed the intersection of beauty, race, and taking up space.
