Now I’m in no way shape or form saying that she should be going off to school with her face made up like this, but an event is an event. Public appearances are her job and when she goes to work she dresses the part. Don’t you?

I’m sure at home as Keke this is not who she is. I also think that if you all would take a minute to look beyond her makeup you’d see that she makes tasteful choices. Her hair isn’t all gelled up into some tom-foolery, with pink yellow and green tracks like other famous people’s children. Her earrings are small, dainty and elegant. The rest of her jewelry gives good balance. The whole look is amazing.

I have a daughter and no this get up isn’t her everyday attire but i would have no problem with her sitting next to me, like this, at black tie event like a wedding. I would be rather proud and I’d hope that people would see her there and say “You’re growing up into a fine young woman” and not be giving me the side eye for nurturing her sense of style and grace. Taking care of yourself including your appearance (skin, hair, teeth, nails) is a part of growing up and being a woman.

Congrats to Keke on a fabulous picture, keep it classy! You can be my daughters role model any day.
