When it comes to the shape of the dress, the form-fitting silhouette hugged her just right. Issa oozed boss baddie vibes and we were here for it. The Barbie actress kept her accessories minimal with gold strappy heels and jewelry.
Issa’s style is always intentional, and that extends to her hair. With the recent launch of her Sienna Naturals haircare line, Issa continues to showcase and celebrate natural hairstyles we love.
For SXSW, she pulled her hair back into a long, braided ponytail. The style topped off her stage look with sophistication while showing off her cheekbones and bright smile.
