The Story Behind Maya Penn's Met Gala Gown Made From Plastic Waste

It's really important for me to wear my natural hair with this look. Because every picture that anyone's ever seen of me, I'm always wearing my natural hair. And especially on a night like the Met, I think it's even more important to show that Black hair is beautiful. It's elegant. It's glamorous.

I get so many messages from little Black girls who say they've been very inspired to love their natural hair texture more because I'm always wearing it on red carpets and speaking on global stages.
