The ESSENCE Fest performer’s 5-time tweet gave us beauty inspiration

R&B sensation Tweet takes back the stage at this yr’s thirtieth ESSENCE Festival. Tweet’s vocals, which appear on Missy Elliott’s platinum-selling third album, are behind a few of the strongest albums of our time. This includes Ja Rule and Petey Pablo. In the early 2000s, growing up alongside her close friend Missy Elliott, Tweet influenced not only the music scene, but additionally iconic beauty trends that also resonate today.

To prove our point, fresh off the discharge of her debut solo single “Oops (Oh My),” the singer took the stage on the sixteenth Annual Soul Train Music Awards wearing a layered, upside-down, center-parted hairstyle. This look – combined with the glassy lips and French suggestions grabbing the mic – just erases the surface of her beauty impact. Just a few months later, she made an identical presentation on the 2nd Annual BET Awards. This time with jagged ends, purple shadow and characteristic shiny lips.

Fast forward to 2003. Tweet was sitting front row on the Luca Luca Spring/Summer 2004 fashion show, showing off his luscious, voluminous locks with without makeup AND not-nicure appearance (only an oversized lime handbag on the lap). Her return to neutral tones carried her through the tip of that yr, appearing at each Playboy’s fiftieth Anniversary and MAC AIDS Fund VIVA Glam V events. However, her hairstyles and nude looks don’t have any time stamp, they’ve existed for a long time, similarly the right way to look fashionable 20 years later.

Up next, try Tweet performing during her performance on the ESSENCE 2024 Cultural Festival. Now, have a look back at 5 times she gave us beauty inspiration.
