Issa Rae Posts Stunning Photos From Her ‘Who What Wear’ Cover Shoot

Issa Rae recently posted several photos on Instagram from her cover shoot for Who What Wear‘s February issue.

The Insecure creator and star looked dazzling in an array of designer look for the magazine shoot. In the first slide of the images, Rae stared right at the camera while wearing a light pink, furry outfit. Both Rae and her fur are slightly moving in the short clip as she stands near a pink backdrop. The actress wore large, sparkly earrings that dropped down to her shoulders.

Rae decided to stick with the extravagant jewelry theme in her following photos. In a close-up image, Rae rocked silver, floral earrings that dropped down to several diamonds that are on full display. Rae had one hand slightly on her head while looking away from the camera. Her hair is also styled in a tight bun, allowing her hair to be away from her face.

In another gorgeous photo for the outlet, Rae stood outside on a balcony on a sunny day while wearing a red over-the-shoulder dress that fit loosely around her body. She held the skirt of the dress while showing one side of her face. The actress also wore the same outfit in another shot, where she showed off a smoky makeup look, provided by celebrity makeup artist Delina Medhin. She also credited Felicia Leatherwood and Jason Rembert for her hair and outfits for the shoot.

Rae’s cover story comes just days before one of her many projects for 2020 premieres. She shared with Who What Wear that she is excited for her role on The Photograph alongside LaKeith Stanfield. The film, which will be released on Valentine’s Day, is one of the actress’ ventures into more dramatic roles. She said that while viewers of the movie will see snippets of her Insecure character Issa Dee, her latest role is something she says her fans won’t be used to.

“I think people are just expecting me to be funny, and the character just lost her mom, so she’s going through it,” she said. “Obviously, there are elements of humor within the movie, but that’s not the driving part of the character, which is new for me because I do lean on humor. It’s been a defense mechanism for a lot of my life. That’s my go-to, I guess because my comfort zone is humor. So to not be able to lean on that in this film was interesting.”
