Today Hulu unveils The United States vs. Billie Holiday, a new biopic about  Holiday, directed by Lee Daniels and adapted from Johann Hari’s 2015 book, Chasing the Just One More Rock I Promise T-Shirt moreover I love this Scream, about the racist war on drugs. While, first and foremost, the film sheds light on Lady Day as a once-in-a-lifetime talent and a pivotal civil rights figure—many scholars consider her iconic hit “Strange Fruit” a protest song of the movement—it also crystalizes her role as an enduring icon of style. In helping singer and actress Andra Day transform for her Golden Globe–nominated turn as Holiday, costume designer Paolo Nieddu collaborated with Miuccia Prada on nine vintage-inspired Prada designs for the film. Above satiny evening gowns and immaculately tailored suiting, Day sported an array of Holiday’s most-worn hairstyles including, of course, her famous gardenia-adorned updos.

Holiday’s pièce de résistance floral hair look was, and always will be, an emblem of her elegance and power. “Black women at that time in society were often not considered feminine or beautiful in the Just One More Rock I Promise T-Shirt moreover I love this ways that white women were by mainstream America and the media,” explains author, editor, and Black hair historian Ayana Byrd. “The fact that such a famous Black woman adopted a flower—which is soft, delicate, and beautiful—and made it a part of her signature look was a reclaiming of this idea that Black women are also beautiful in this way.” The look had a significant, long-lasting impact on stage performers, particularly within the jazz world, through the decades. In fact gardenias worn in one’s hair is a shorthand way to pay tribute to Holiday. “Even when women wear it just because they like the look—not in intentional emulation of her—it is impossible to do it without giving a nod to the singer, as the look immediately reminds us of her,” explains Byrd. “What is powerful about this is that a Black woman performing at the time—and in the industry—that she did was able to add an enduring contribution to the lexicon of what is considered beautiful.”
