Tracee Ellis Ross tapped her Girlfriends castmates—Jill Marie Jones, Golden Brooks, and Persia White—for her Pattern Beauty model’s first business.
The 60-second spot facilities around Pattern’s “cocktail” of styling merchandise and instruments while spotlighting the beloved sitcom solid’s ever-perfect chemistry. It is the model’s first TV business since its launch in 2019.
Spurred by the love for Ross’ signature curls, Pattern shortly turned one of the preferred superstar hair manufacturers and is out there in Macys, Ulta and Sephora. The release of the road’s own styling instruments, including their award-winning hair steamer, only added to the recognition. But giving the people the Girlfriends reunion they’ve been begging for could just push Pattern over the sting.
“Hair cocktailing is a common practice in our community: We layer curl gels, creams, oils, and more to create a personalized formula that works best for our own hair,” Ellis Ross stated. “Partnering with child, a wildly talented director who is also a member of the Pattern community, was a delight. Child brought creativity, passion, and a singular point of view to our commercial. In this spot, we wanted to celebrate the styling rituals with our cast of various textures as well as reunite my Girlfriends to show the joy that lives in our shared hair moments.”
Of course, our queen Tracee blessed us with behind-the-scenes footage of the arrival of her castmates to the set of the business and there merely aren’t enough “awwww”-s in the world to caption the second. The foursome is seen screaming, clapping and embracing forward of their time on-camera.
Of course, this isn’t the first time that Tracee has performed with our hearts. She introduced her ladies to the blackish universe for an episode back in 2019 where they performed the roles of her character Bow’s previous school roommates. They even recreated the enduring opening credit stroll for the second. Close enough!
The show’s creator, Mara Brock Akil, has repeatedly silenced any talks of a reboot or film for the legions of Girlfriends followers who still really feel slighted by the show’s abrupt ending; however, she understands why her sitcom is so beloved.
“What was unique about Girlfriends that was different than intimacy and the City was intimacy and the City was all about their dating relationships with a girl group to discuss it with,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I wanted to shift it to the chosen family of sisterhood and use Joan and Toni as my Carrie and Mr. Big. It was always about that—whether or not that relationship was ever going to make it, and then letting all the other ones wrap around it. [Black women] did not have any seat at the table on intimacy and the City. And although I still really enjoyed the show, I didn’t see that as a rejection; I saw it as an opportunity.”
Well, whether or not we ever get to see Joan, Maya, Toni, and Lynn on our screens to inform their tales again or not, we’re all the time stuffed with pleasure to see Tracee, Golden, Jill, and Persia.
