2015 Grammys How-To: Iggy Azalea's Challah-Bread Braid

 

2 min to read


Rapper Iggy Azalea wore a braided crown created by celebrity stylist Ursula Stephen for her appearance at the 2015 Grammys last night that some have compared to challah bread.

"I've always been a fan of braids, and they are such a trend right now," Stephen says. "Iggy wears braids so well and she likes to wear her hair up and away from her face - especially while performing. So, I wanted to give her something fun and easy. When I saw her dress for the Grammys, I thought it was beautiful. The silhouette was classic, and I felt going with a classic updo would have been very predictable. I wanted to give her a young vibe with a sprinkle of edge, for a memorable moment."
