Thank you, @GQ. Thank you, Black 90s TV. [1]
Among all her other talents and accomplishments, Issa Rae has now managed to time-travel back to the '90s. The 33-year-old Insecure creator and star recently channelled several of the decade's iconic black sitcom stars for the June 2018 issue of GQ [3]. In the vibrant and delightfully nostalgic editorial, Issa poses as Will Smith in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Steve Urkel from Family Matters, Dwayne Wayne from A Different World, and Moesha from, well, Moesha. The styling? Spot-on. The poses? Shockingly accurate. Me? Now a blissful shell of my former self. Watch a fun behind-the-scenes video from the shoot above.
