FKA twigshas had a lot of memorable fashion and beauty moments.
One of them, though, has quite the story behind it — and it was actually quite painful.
In a new “Life in Looks” video for herBritish Voguecover debut, the singer-songwriter, 36, revealed the story behind her braided and beaded fringe at the Barclaycard Mercury Prize nominations launch in 2014.
“At the time, I’d actually been experimenting with bleaching my eyebrows, and I’d had an accident and I’d burnt off all the skin on my forehead,” Twigs said.

“My hairstylist Soichi [Inagaki] and I came up with this idea that I would have beads hanging really low to cover it up, so I could just be gorgey from here down,” she recalled with a smile. “Actually I think that some of the greatest fashion moments come from a mishap or a mistake, and it turns into a happy accident.”
“It’s good that I burnt off my eyebrows,” she added.
Celebrating her first Mercury nomination at the time, twigs sported a Balenciaga ensemble that consisted of a gray jacket over a black jumpsuit.
“I do not see the ‘stereotypical sexual object’ that they have labelled me,”Twigs respondedin an Instagram post in January. “I see a beautiful strong woman of colour whose incredible body has overcome more pain than you can imagine,”
Meanwhile, twigs is set to star in theupcoming remake movie,The Crow.This comes 30 years after the original in 1994, which starred the lateBrandon Lee.
