Ice Spice Debuts New Hairstyle, Says She’s “Pretty Like Lauren”

Ice Spice is perhaps best known for her signature ginger afro. However, the New York rapper’s high school yearbook photos prove she’s capable of pulling off more than just one look. In the images making rounds online, Isis Gaston smiles wide for the camera, rocking long, straight, black hair. Immediately after seeing the pictures, Twitter users began comparing the rap diva to You People actress Lauren London.

Interestingly, the Bronx baddie seemingly addressed the lookalike gossip before it even began making rounds. On her “In Ha Mood” single she raps, “Like, what? Let’s keep it a buck / Bitches too borin’, got ’em stuck in a rut / Lamborghini roarin’ when I hop out the truck / Pretty bitch like Lauryn with a big ass butt, yup.” Of course, there’s no last name drop in the line, but it’s safe to assume that Spice is self-aware enough to recognize her resemblance to the starlet.

On Friday (February 10) night, the Like..? artist surprised her 3.6M Instagram followers with a new series of selfies. While her hair is its usual ginger colour throughout the photo dump, she’s ditched her usually bouncy curls for a sleek, shoulder-length style complete with a slicked-down side bang. “Pretty like Lauren,” she wrote in the caption, referencing the internet’s ongoing conversation about her doppelganger.

As per usual, the upload finds Spice showing off her curvy figure. She sports a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier top, paired with army green khaki pants and crisp white sneakers. Just above the waistband of her bands, a tiny black thong peaks out. In the second image, the redhead gives a closer look at the view from the back as she gazes at the circular mirror hanging in front of her.

Other snapshots circulating online seem to show Spice in the same outfit filming an MTV show. Later that night, though, she sat with celebrity friends like Julia Fox and Richie Shazam at Dion Lee’s F/W 2023 RTW runway during New York Fashion Week. Seeing as the shows are just getting started, it’s entirely possible we could see more stellar looks from the rising star in the coming days.
