Since debuting her daring hairstyle in March, FKA twigs has worn it to testify in front of the U.S. Senate regarding threats of the unauthorized use of AI on musicians. She’s incorporated her cut into her 2024 Meta Gala look and added a space-age headpiece for the world premiere of The Crow. FKA twigs stars in the gothic superhero film, a remake of the 1994 film by the same name. Perhaps most famously, movie buffs recognize The Crow as actor Brandon Lee’s final role before his accidental death on set.

The Crow remake sees Eric (Bill Skarsgård) as a man resurrected to avenge his death and the death of his girlfriend (FKA twigs). The “Cellophane” singer posted about her experience at the premiere, writing, “Last night it was incredible to be reunited with the crow cast and see our hard work on the big screen. it’s important that i remind myself that the crow started as an indie film and was born from love and wild ambition just how i like it. the crow is dark raw and brooding but is rooted in romance and the dream of more. thank you to rupert for believing in me and to bill for being such a wonderful leading partner.”

No doubt FKA twigs will continue to inspire supporters with her fearless creativity.
