Missy Elliott is an all-around icon: a rap legend, pro songwriter and producer, and absolute style superstar. I’ll never forget the first time I saw her on my TV screen in the \u201cThe Rain\u201d music video\u2014and basically every one of her music videos and performances after that. It’s been a long time since \u201cThe Rain,\u201d but Elliott’s style influence is just as powerful today as it was then\u2026 she’s even got me reconsidering my stance on the side ponytail!<\/p>\n
Elliott jetted off to Paris for the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring\/Summer 2027 show on June 23 and brought her signature ultra-cool style to the event, pairing a slouchy gray suit with a massive brown hat and the<\/em> perfect hairstyle to go with it: a long, low, sideswept auburn ponytail, which was cinched right underneath the hat at the nape of her neck and brushed over one shoulder for an equally show-stopping presence, cascading down to hit just below her ribcage.<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Side ponytails can be tricky; it’s basically a mathematical equation trying to perfect the placement of the ponytail and how it interacts with your accessories and your outfit, but when done right, they look so<\/em> cool\u2014simply refer to the photo above to see what I mean! Sure, the hat is the first thing you notice given it’s towering size and wide brim, but that’s in part because of how beautifully the accessory and her hairstyle work together!<\/p>\n And let’s take a moment to admire Elliott’s manicure, shall we? It was bright, bold, and beyond summery: a square-shaped set in a vibrant neon palette, with each nail sporting a unique but cohesive design. I spy a whole lotta neon leopard print, a blue squiggle atop an orange base, some 3D metallic designs, and a glam tropical pink yellow, and orange combo, plus a whole lot more fun color and pattern.<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Missy Elliott is an all-around icon: a rap legend, pro songwriter and producer, and absolute style superstar.
