The Best Beauty Instagrams of the Week: Mette Towley, Rickey Thompson, and More

Less is more was the prevailing theme for this week’s stunning array of best beauty Instagrams.

Dancer and actress Mette Towley, a master at marrying style with function when it comes to beauty, recently debuted a new look: a sleek, braided ponytail that demonstrated how to easily elevate the style so that it always looks fresh, never boring. To create the look, hairstylist Issac Poleon, who has styled equally glossy looks for the likes of Jorja Smith and Paloma Elsesser, first brushed out Towley's baby hairs before laying them back in swoops. The final effect is slick, yet playful thanks to the elongated sideburns set in delicate swirls.

Another hair highlight came from FKA twigs, who debuted platinum ringlets pinned close to the scalp to resemble an ornate headpiece. Ever angelic, the singer looked especially ethereal with curled lashes and a nude lip. Elsewhere, Tracee Ellis Ross made us forget the freezing temps thanks to a poolside selfie that showed off her fresh face and glamorous accessories. If we can’t fast forward to summer, we’ll happily settle for the actor’s colorful headscarf and chunky hoops. For more of the best beauty looks of this week, keep scrolling.
