WarnerMedia is partnering with the Black Beauty Roster platform for diverse hair and makeup education, talent, and advocacy, to expand the presence of emerging and diverse beauty professionals on its upcoming slate of film and TV productions.
Black Beauty Roster provides educational resources to help on-set staff learn the nuances of working with textured hair and darker complexions and how to be better advocates for talent of color. The company will now provide hair and makeup staffing support for WarnerMedia productions via its network of over 10,000 union and non-union beauty professionals, across the U.S. and Canada. Its partnership with the conglomerate will also involve workshops targeted towards executives and decision makers on allyship and advocacy, as well as panel discussions focused on diversity behind the camera.

WarnerMedia has partnered with Black Beauty Roster and its network of 10,000 vetted beauty professionals in an effort to advance diversity in hair and makeup on set.
Through the new relationship, WarnerMedia and Black Beauty Roster (Bbr) aim to address a problem that is twofold — first, addressing the concerns of talent of color who’ve been underserved on sets by helping producers and executives find hair stylists and makeup artists skilled in working with their hair textures and skin tones; and second, creating opportunities for those artists to work on productions and special events, which is often complicated by union regulations and rosters.
“We [at WarnerMedia] had done these listening sessions to hear about the concerns that were happening, and, of course, one of the biggest things was hair and makeup,” Yvette Urbina tells Variety, explaining the genesis of this initiative.
This was no surprise to Urbina, who was a longtime creative executive...

Stylist Micaela Erlanger nodded to horror film “Us” with Lupita Nyong’o’s press tour wardrobe: “It was just the right amount of spooky, but we kept it fashion-forward.”
March 8
“With Lupita, we always like to have a narrative and tell a story through the fashion choices,” Erlanger says. “‘Us’ is a horror movie and she has this dual personality, so we had fun with the dichotomy of character and juxtaposition.” Nyong’o wore this white Honayda suit to the film’s SXSW premiere. “It had cutouts and this really interesting detail on the shoulder, but a subtle detail was that her earrings were a pair of scissors — a nod to the character.” Vernon Francois styled her hair in sectioning clips and Nick Barose added ’80s-inspired makeup. “Her hair and makeup were really the standout for that outfit,” Erlanger says. “It just took it to another level.”

We fell in love with the beautiful, braid-accented way that Denee Benton (the star of Broadways Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812) pulled her hair back on the red carpet recently, so we tapped hairstylist Vernon Francois, who also works with Lupita Nyong’o, Solange Knowles and more, to share his secrets in the How It’s Done video above.
In order to create the look, Francois preps the hair with Vernon Francois Curl Moisture Spray and divides it into three sections. He then sprays even more onto each section and rakes it through. Then, the pro pulls each section...
