Halloween 2016 gave us plenty of head-turning celebrity costumes, but this look, spotted on Eva Marcille, happens to be one of our favorites. The former America’s Next Top Model star stepped out in a Mad Max– inspired ensemble, accompanied by a head full of honey blonde goddess locs.

Dr. Kari Williams, trichologist and creator of the trendy hairstyle, is the mastermind behind the do worn by Meagan Good, Brandy and a handful of other Hollywood A-listers. What makes these bohemian plaits so popular is their versatility. They can be fashioned into a care free up-do or worn loose without that weighed down feeling.
