Ava DuVernay Covers InStyle's March Issue

Introducing The Cover Star of InStyle's March 2022 Issue - Ava DuVernay

Ava DuVernay is not only a wildly potent filmmaker. She's also an honest-to-goodness babe for InStyle's March Fashion Issue. Ava takes a turn in front of the camera and talks about the beauty idols of her youth, the cultural shift in celebrating natural hair as “exceptional,” and the #wrinkleintime scene that always makes her heart explode.

"I grew up in a Black and brown community near Compton, in Lynwood, and there were these women in the area called cholas, and they were the other big inﬂuence for me. They're mostly second-generation Mexican women who have very speciﬁc hair and eyeliner wings. They were so glamorous — I thought they were the most beautiful, hottest things I had ever seen."
