She sure is feeling herself and this lengthy ponytail that cascades toward her waist.

The braided ponytail sits high on her head, making it the perfect spot for whipping the style around.

She paired the hairstyle with simple glam makeup that really completes the whole aesthetic.

Her base looks flawless paired with black eyeliner and simple dark eye shadow.

Her bold red lip is just icing on the cake.
