If you still question whether or not blonds have more fun, then see Yvonne Orji’s Instagram. In recent posts, the actress is seen living her best life on the white sandy beaches of Anguilla, while slaying in a set of blond box braids.

The protective style is indeed popular this season, but that doesn’t mean everyone is rocking it the same way. Photos from the Insecure star’s Caribbean escape, with bride-to-be and New York Times best-selling author, Luvvie Ajayi, reveals several different ways to rock the style this season.

In one ocean view photo, Orji lets her waist-length braids hang freely, giving us carefree nomadic black girl vibes.

In another image, the actress’s box braids were sprawled into topknot emitting the model off duty aesthetic.

This isn’t the first time that we were enamored by Orji’s box braids.

For Essence’s 2019 Black Women In Hollywood Awards, the actress turned her braids into a crown.
