So honored to dress Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club! #ELLEDigitalCoverStar: You never need to ask @amytanwriter who she writes for: she is writing for folks who grew up around a racket of uncles and aunties, kids who learn to sleep through the noisy nights their parent’s friends stayed over for too long, drank too many cheap whiskeys, and stank up the place with loneliness, dim sum, and ambition. She writes about hard-working, decent folks often filed off as ‘immigrants’ – someone for whom belonging can turn out to be a life’s work. And she writes, equally, about people who don’t feel at home in themselves, a republic from which exile is impossible. Years later, when I moved to America for graduate studies, I felt first-hand the grim disappointment of her characters: life in the new country was not all that much.

I’ve been sitting on this one for a while—this maternity shoot for @xiaolindesign , created for a very dear friend in such a fleeting, powerful season of her life. Motherhood has a way of sharpening your vision. I knew from the start I didn’t want this to feel like a “typical” maternity look—I wanted it to feel like her. Ethereal, womanly, intentional… the same language she designs in. With a small window to build, the hair became a study in softness and structure. I layered five packs of hair into her already dense, long base to create something sculptural but weightless. Volume was built section by section using @sexyhair Powder Play through the curl work, finished with light-reflecting movement from @olaplex No.7 oil, and lifted all of the hair upward with a @denmanpro mixed bristle brush to hold that airy expansion. But more than anything, this was about being surrounded by women—by mothers, by artists, by friends—who show up for each other in these moments that matter. Captured so intentionally by @sarakckane ( dreamy photographer at her studio @sunshinecitystudios ) and brought to life with @stefaniaglamour ( Mua extraordinaire) it felt less like a shoot and more like a reflection of care. With Mother’s Day coming up, I’m still holding a lot. Some of it is very very heavy, some of it is beautiful—but all of it reminds me how deeply I value the women in my life who continue to show up, support, and trust me with their milestones. I love you, always.

Teary eyed to be surrounded by so much love 🥺 Can't wait to meet my baby girl and for her to experience all the joy and beauty of being a woman 🌼 @stylistamandaelaine Forever thankful to have you as my friend and for making me look like a fairy princess even when I'm waddling and nauseous and for @sarakckane for making this magical moment last forever. And huge thanks to @stefaniaglamour for driving all the way up here to do makeup! So blessed and will never forget this day 💖
