A portrait of radiance.
This textile work reimagines Diana Ross in luminous grayscale, her gaze turned over her shoulder — soft, knowing, untouchable.
The original black-and-white photograph is printed on fabric and hand-embroidered with metallic thread and dimensional beadwork. I elevated her headpiece into a sculptural, light-catching crown — transforming stage glamour into something almost celestial.
The beading creates movement and shimmer, echoing the brilliance she carried both onstage and off. This piece isn’t just about style — it’s about presence. About the kind of beauty that bends light toward it.
Part of my Women’s History Month series celebrating film sirens and iconic women whose image became myth.
