If anyone can pull off baby bangs, it’s Taraji. Cookie’s new hairstyle channeled the flirty ’50s at the premiere of “Empire” Season 2.

When does the Vogue covergirl EVER get it wrong? We love her mini ‘fro and the elegant (yet adorable!) satin ribbons that adorned it at the Boss Spring 2016 show.

3. Nicki Minaj

What goes better with head-to-toe Givenchy leopard than an elaborate cat-eye? And Nicki won by sporting a sleek ponytail to let her makeup steal the spotlight. We approve this message.

4. Jennifer Hudson

Short hair, don’t care! JHud took her pixie to the next level with this sleek, boy cut and we have to say she looks absolutely breathtaking. Not everyone can pull off a short cut, but she nails it.

5. Ciara

Ciara keeps us guessing. Just when we thought we had her figured out, she ditches her long, wavy locks for a blunt bob (and bangs!) that would make Anna proud. No matter the length, Ci-Ci always looks stunning.

6. Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox went blonder and straighter for her appearance at Prabal Gurung: the perfect hairstyle to compliment her bright blue slit-shoulder dress.

7. June Ambrose

June was all about sultry, dark glamour at the Givenchy show with a smoldering smoky eye and striking plum lip. Replete with a wavy half-up, half-down hairstyle, this may be one of our favorite looks of the week.

8. Mel B.

Mel B. was on the scene for the Essence Street Style party, proving that neutral basics (an ivory tank and black wideleg pants) look best when offset by a punchy pink lip.

9. Christina Milian

Christina Milian picked the perfect time to debut her new bob (duh, Fashion Week!) and she was on fire yet again at the Laquan Smith presentation with her bold new cut and a fierce contour to match.

Ta’Rhonda manages to be the exception to the old rule that bold eyeshadow and lipstick don’t mix. She pulls off a fierce eye and lip by keeping both elements dark and wearing a contrasting white gown. Perfection.

For 2024’s iteration of MadameNoire and HelloBeautiful’s annual series Women to Know, we knew we wanted to celebrate the people who help make the joys of film and television possible. To create art is to create magic. This year, we spotlight Hollywood Executive’s changing the face of cinema.
