Alicia Keys and her husband, Swizz Beatz walked the ‘white’ carpet together at the 2016 MTV Video Music awards on Sunday night and she stole the show with her make-up free face.
On an occasion when most celebrities call on the expertise of the world’s most talented makeup artists, the 35-year-old star and pretty mum of two was unique, walking the VMA white carpet in a red and black Just Cavalli long sleeved printed maxi dress and a Jennifer Fisher gothic initial necklace.
Mirror reports that Alicia previously revealed that it was a chance encounter with a photographer who wanted to take her picture without any make-up that gave her an epiphany and she hasn’t worn make-up since.
“I hope to God it’s a revolution,” she said. “Cause I don’t want to cover up anymore. Not my face, not my mind, not my soul, not my thoughts, not my dreams, not my struggles, not my emotional growth. Nothing.”
“Every time I left the house, I would be worried if I didn’t put on makeup: What if someone wanted a picture??” she added.
“What if they POSTED it??? These were the insecure, superficial, but honest thoughts I was thinking. And all of it, one way or another, was based too much on what other people thought of me.”
She’s always beautiful with or without makeup.
