Is Stacey Dash ready to reclaim her crown, or did she just miss the mark with this hairstyle choice? The former “Clueless” queen decided to serve us cornrows realness on Instagram and honey, the internet is absolutely DRAGGING her for it!
On Wednesday, July 8th, the 54-year-old actress posted a quick reel flexing her newly braided look to her 416,000 followers, and let me tell you, the comments section became an absolute BATTLEFIELD. Social media users didn’t waste a single second coming for her aesthetic choice, with one particularly savage commenter writing: “Nope! It’s too late.” Ouch! That’s the kind of read that stings, bestie.
The internet collectively decided that this reinvention attempt was giving “trying too hard,” and honestly? The fans were not interested in whatever narrative Stacey was attempting to sell. While some celebrities can pull off experimental hair moments and have their loyal stans cheer them on, Stacey’s moment apparently landed differently. The cornrows that were probably supposed to scream “fresh” and “edgy” instead had people questioning her judgment and timing.
What’s particularly hilarious is how FAST the Twitter troops assembled to share their unfiltered opinions. This wasn’t your typical “oh that’s cute” kind of compliment-less silence—this was full-on commentary. Followers were ready with their takes, their hot takes, their SCORCHING takes about whether this look worked or whether Stacey should’ve kept scrolling past the styling ideas.
The reality is, sometimes a celebrity hair switch can be iconic and trend-setting. Think about when icons reinvent themselves and slay the whole internet. But other times? Other times it becomes a cautionary tale that trends on social media for all the wrong reasons. Stacey’s cornrows situation is giving the latter energy, and the people have spoken LOUDLY.
With over 416,000 followers watching her every move, you’d think she might’ve tested this look with her inner circle first. But nope! She went straight to the public for their unsolicited feedback, and bestie, the public DID NOT disappoint in their delivery.
What do you think? A) Stacey’s cornrows are actually cute and people are being too harsh B) The internet was right to roast this look, it wasn’t the move
