The Beauty of Coco Jones
If you've ever assumed something about Coco Jones, it's probably true. She's confident, composed, and certain—certain above all that she's on the right path and not in the business of making you understand or buy into her hype. She doesn't need you to. 'It's fair to assume I'm not normal,' Jones, our Beauty for All cover star, jokes over Zoom. 'I've always been focused. When I was younger, the kids wanted to go to sleepovers and parties. I wanted to work. I was in a completely different headspace, so when people say, 'I can't relate to this girl,' I think it's fair to say.' Her honesty is a breath of fresh air. At a time when people go to great lengths to seem personable, her rejection of that impulse somehow makes her even more relatable. She's a great who wants to be among the greats—and she's not afraid to say it. There's beauty in being prideful of what you're working toward and acknowledging who you already are. You don't have to dim your light to shine. More from StyleCaster Summer House's Amanda Batula Teases the Real Reason She Was 1st Seat at the Reunion: 'I Was Flabbergasted' (Exclusive) Beyoncé's Colorist on How to Go Blonde the Right Way 'I'm really proud of where I am,' Jones continues. Our conversation takes place just before the release of her debut album, Why Not More?, her Met Gala debut, and in the midst of a whirlwind few months that included single drops, red carpets, and Fashion Week appearances. 'I'm happy. This is what everyone wants in the industry I'm in—to be at all the places that are important. It means I'm on the right path.' It's fair to assume I'm not normal. To be on the right path in Hollywood, you need a signature look—something instantly recognizable, unmistakably yours. Jones has that down: glowing skin, big bouncy hair, and a constantly beat face. She loves a beat. 'My brows make me the most confident,' she shares. 'I have my dad's, and they literally look like the shape of a TV antenna. I've always been really big on tweezing and plucking. I was not playing around with these brows. Having a really clean, sharp brow makes me feel elevated.' She adds that they can't be too sharp—'then it'll give Batman.' Outside of brows, Jones can't live without her lashes. 'I feel like a literal drawing with lashes and brows.' Some of her go-to brands include Danessa Myricks and Black Girl Sunscreen. Those items stay in her purse—along with something a little unexpected: a wax kit. 'Yes, I do my own waxes. I'm very proud of that. Now, it's not downstairs—but it's the pits and things of that nature. I started doing it with sugar wax and thought, 'Oh, we're going to keep this up.' I pull her out, and she's loyal. She's always with me.' I'm happy. This is what everyone wants in the industry I'm in—to be at all the places that are important. It means I'm on the right path. Though she's been consistent with her glam for years, Jones sometimes considers a switch-up. 'I go back and forth internally like, 'Okay, should I do something different? Or should I really lean into one look and let it be my staple?' I think about, like, Sabrina Carpenter with the blonde, you know? What should be my route? I just don't have that answer right now,' she says. 'Despite everything I've accomplished, I have so much more learning and evolving to do.' For now, the look is long and wavy—and it's working. As we anticipate the many eras Jones has ahead, her current one is captured in Why Not More?, a 14-track R&B project exploring love, heartbreak, sex, growth, and self-love. On 'AEOMG,' she leans into desire; on the title track, she asks for more. 'By Myself' is a rollercoaster that ends in clarity, a focus on happiness without outside validation. 'Keep It Quiet' dives into the consequences of a toxic relationship, with Jones belting, 'Don't make a good girl violent!' I have to do what's best for every version of me, who I am now and who I want to become. This project is a reintroduction to Jones, who fans have watched evolve from Disney Channel star to a hot girl on Bel-Air. 'I wanted a song for every emotion,' she says. 'You know—when you're mad, angry, happy, sad, resentful. I feel like music should be very useful. Plus, I'm growing up. I have experiences—experiences that grown women have.' Jones doesn't name names, but she does admit that romantic relationships inspired much of the album. She's been linked to NBA player Donovan Mitchell since January 2024 and appeared to confirm the relationship on Club Shay Shay in March. 'I'm happy, and I will say, my music is my outlet,' she told Shannon Sharpe. 'I say some things, and you can hear it on my album.' When I ask if any of the more toxic songs are about someone specific, Jones plays it cool. 'I feel like the wrong people in general will bring out the worst version of you,' she says. 'I think sometimes in relationships, it's this game of who's going to care the least—and it's not a safe space for anybody to thrive. So yeah, I will say there have been times where I want to get violent—but in the sense of the way I talk.' Whether it's in the studio or in front of the camera, Jones doesn't wait for direction—she gives it. During our shoot, she placed a mirror in front of the lens, checking her angles as she guided the photographer through each pose. She's not just the subject—she's the eye. And as she continues to shape her career, her sound, and her story, one thing is clear: she's doing it entirely on her own terms. 'I have to do what's best for every version of me, who I am now and who I want to become,' Jones adds.

Manish Malhotra At The Met Gala 2025: An Ode To Indian Craftsmanship With Four Looks
Last Updated: While Manish Malhotra turned heads with his Met Gala 2025 debut, he also got everyone talking with how Coco Jones, Rihanna, and Natasha Poonawalla wore his creations. In a historic and head-turning debut, Manish Malhotra took centre stage at the 2025 Met Gala. The ace designer redefined the global fashion narrative with unapologetic glamour and Indian craftsmanship. He also became the first Indian designer to showcase not one but four dazzling ensembles at fashion's most prestigious event. From regal couture rooted in heritage to celebrity moments dripping in pearls and rubies, his presence marked a cultural crescendo that was both overdue and unforgettable. Let's take a look at the four Manish Malhotra looks that became the focal point at the 2025 Met Gala. Manish Malhotra Ditching convention, Manish Malhotra owned the blue carpet at the Met Gala as he stepped into the spotlight in a sherwani cape. The cape was sculptural, sculpted, and subversive. With his take on Inverness Dandy meeting Indian couture, the look was all about hand embroidery, glass beadwork, and a commanding silhouette. He accessorised his look with a cluster of brooches from his High Jewellery line. Each piece shone like a punctuation mark at the neckline, worn with conviction and continuity. He complemented these exquisite heirlooms with collar pins and cufflinks. With jewels like rubies, diamonds, and South Sea pearls, Manish left a mark on the blue carpet. Coco Jones Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and actress Coco Jones chose a Manish Malhotra ensemble for her Met Gala debut. Inspired by the rebellious spirit of the 1930s zoot suit, her ensemble featured a tailored satin blouse, pearl-encrusted trousers, and a sweeping cape that was hand-embroidered over six months. Crafted from laser-cut organza and heirloom French lace, the cape shimmered with over 2,00,000 Swarovski crystals and pearls. She completed her look with a crown jewel necklace from the designer's jewellery line. The statement piece came with a striking 20.05 carat Tanzanite centrepiece, surrounded by a harmonious composition of over 47.3 carats of Tanzanites and over 47.6 carats of diamonds. Natasha Poonawalla View this post on Instagram A post shared by MANISH MALHOTRA (@manishmalhotraworld) Natasha made a commanding statement at the Met Gala 2025 in custom Manish Malhotra couture. She interpreted Black Dandyism in her way and reframed it through the language of Indian couture as she honoured her Parsi ancestry. She opted for a sculpted fishtail skirt that was made from two vintage Gara saris. She paired it with a corset-cummerbund and a vintage French lace bralette. Draped above it all: a sharply tailored black Gara jacket with bold shoulders, lined in imperial purple. She added drama by adding a sculptural lace cravat by Atelier Biser to her look. Rihanna rihanna at the met gala 2025 — val (@RihannasData) May 6, 2025 top videos View all Rihanna opted for a custom Marc Jacobs ensemble for the Met Gala 2025. Her look featured a corseted bodice that she had paired with a cropped tuxedo jacket. She added a dramatic flair to her look by adding a deconstructed blazer that was reimagined into a floor-length skirt, with sleeves knotted elegantly at the back. The sleeves of the blazer featured exquisite ruby buttons that were designed by Manish Malhotra. The singer completed her look with a floppy hat, a polka dot tie, and archival jewels.

The biggest Met Gala 2025 beauty trend? Early aughts glossy lips
In a sea of TikTok-driven make-up trends (strawberry flush, 'unapproachable' make-up, rising-sign make-up, and whatever else the algorithm decides to feed us), many of our favourite celebs opted out of quick hits of virality and instead tapped into something a bit more classic. Standing out as the biggest Met Gala 2025 beauty trend, a nude glossy lip ruled the red carpet. The 2025 Met Gala celebrates the Costume Institute's new exhibition, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' Co-chairs A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams, and Lewis Hamilton set the bar high with their modern takes on Black dandyism, dressing with grand capes and meaningful details. Guests followed suit (pun very much intended) and wore tailored pieces paired with braids, structural updos, and a nude glossy lip to tie the entire look together. Zendaya, Coco Jones, Sydney Sweeney, and Simone Biles all sported high shine against their neutral-shade lips, a staple that will match any look. Much like tonight's theme, the Met's top beauty trend is transcendent. So if this year's red carpet is having you ready to channel early aughts glossy shine for your summer adventures (and beyond), we rounded up our favourite nude glossy lips of the night.
