Top 8 Hair Looks From the 2015 BWIH Red Carpet

Take a look at the best 'dos from this year's Black Women in Hollywood event.

By Deena Campbell · Updated October 27, 2020

Uzo Aduba

Bantu knots may be Uzo’s signature hairstyle on the set of Orange is The New Black, but we’re feeling her long, wavy hair.

Danielle Brooks

A slight deviation from her normal red carpet straight hair, Danielle rocked a loose fishtail braid with a side part.

Ava DuVernay

Without question, Ms. DuVernay takes home our award for best hair of the night. We love that her locs are pulled into a partial updo that cascades down her right side.

Not everyone can pull off a short wavy bob, but Carmen proved that this chic look can be done right.

Gugu kept her curly updo from looking fussy by pinning the middle, making the style perfect for an afternoon luncheon.
