Tessa Thompson ceases to amaze us with her style and beauty every time she hits a red carpet event or out and about. Surely, with the beginning of spring there’s even more room to play with new styles and beauty looks. This time Thompson is spotted out in Philadelphia for a Creed II cast dinner at Zahav Restaurant; rocking the statement high-shine slick back low ponytail with an extra-long braid. Which provides all the ‘80s and early ‘90s Sade vibes anyone can handle. Including the iconic pop-soul singers staple deep, bold red pout.

Tessa Thompson has been one to experiment with beauty looks and trends from braids to curls and bold color looks like her character in the upcoming Sundance festival hit Sorry, to Bother You (in theaters nationwide July 6th) where her kooky character pays a beauty homage to singer and Chef Kelis. She completes her look by adding large, gold hoop earrings that compliment her white blouse, black pencil skirt and the black and white splatter pattern overcoat—yeah, it’s still feeling like winter on the east coast. Yet, Thompson makes the most of the balmy Philly weather with her look that’s sure to be mimicked in the next days and weeks to come by adorning fans.
