If there’s anyone who truly understands how to pull off fringe and voluminous hair as if they’re made just for her, it’s Sharon Ooja, and this recent outfit left wondering why we don’t see more of this.

Sharon posted on Instagram in a mini black dress that halted everyone mid-scroll. It had geometric patches, pieces of burgundy and tan sewn together across the fabric. But it was that fringe at the bottom that brought it to life. The sort that injects movement and texture, without overwhelming the rest of the look. She kept the sleeveless silhouette simple, which was probably the perfect choice. With all that texture and print going on, the dress didn’t require anything extra vying for attention.

Here’s what made everything click: her hair. Sharon wore her natural curls big, voluminous, and completely unfiltered. There’s something about Black women with voluminous hair that refuses to shrink itself. It’s powerful in a way that carried a hint of retro flair.

The outfit had that retro flair too. This was not simply Sharon flaunting yet another look. It was a reminder of how it feels to lean into texture, movement, and your own natural beauty. Only Black women understand this. Some outfits are about clothing. This was about knowing what works and wearing it as if it’s yours.
