China McClain is coming into her own as a beauty maven and we’re here for every bit of it.  

Yesterday (July 12), the burgeoning actress attended the premiere of Descendants 2, where she stunned in a white hot floorlength frock and blossoming afro.

In addition to meeting with fans and catching up with her co-stars, McClain also posed alongside her sisters Sierra and Lauryn; it’s Black girl magic times three! 

In case you didn’t know, China plays “Uma” in this latest installment of the Disney franchise, and is already receiving rave reviews for her performance.   And although we’re happy to see her latest project come to fruition, we’re equally excited about McClain’s her newfound love for her natural hair.

Earlier this summer, China posted a heartfelt message to Instagram, where she talked about coming to love and embrace her curls. And if her latest appearance is any indication, it looks like she’ll continue to deliver bold looks on and off the red carpet.
