TODAY’S BIRTHDAY: On the occasion of trailblazing actor-activist, singer-songwriter Harry Belafonte Jr.’s birthday (March 1, 1927) an homage to his breakout role as Corporal Joe in Otto Preminger’s 1954 blockbuster “Carmen Jones” by Kyle Kuzma @kuz, joined by supermodel Winnie Harlow @winnieharlow as Dorothy Dandridge playing femme fatale Carmen. Harry Belafonte is a shining example of a celebrity using their considerable star power for the greater good, from being an early supporter of the civil rights movement (and a personal confidant of Martin Luther King Jr.) to being the Grand Marshall of Gay Pride 2013 in NYC. Thank you Harry for your tireless vision and integrity and Happy 94th Birthday! And thank you Winnie for asking us to do this dream project! Thanks as well to the whole awesome team behind this image, including master-of-glamour Adam Burrell @adamburrell who did the exquisite makeup, hair maestro Cesar @cesar4styles who did a meticulous recreation of Carmen Jone’s coif, Brandon Gray @grayscaleic who did spot-on wardrobe styling for both Winnie and Kyle Kuzma, and Dash Holcomb @dashonebydash who did a mind-blowingly accurate recreation of Dorothy’s iconic “Carmen Jones” costume (every stitch in place).
