Jay-Z made his return to the Roots Picnic stage in Philadelphia and brought more than just his catalog — he brought a whole new look.
The rapper and mogul debuted a full African, which was a notable change from the outfits he’s worn for years. According to reports, loctician Leticia Ravelo spent four days and four bottles of Sacred to fix Jay-Z’s locs before the new style. The latest African spectacle attracted as much attention as the demonstration itself.
On the style front, Jay-Z kept it edgy and restrained in an all-black Fear of God ensemble styled by longtime collaborator June Ambrose. The look — which included an oversized utility jacket and coordinated pieces — was effortlessly cool in front of electric stage lighting, proving that even at a festival, Jay-Z moves with intention.
Together, the hair and fit sent the Internet into a frenzy, with fans and fashion observers alike pondering the rapper’s new age aesthetic.
warm! Or hmm..?
