‘There’s So Much Love In that Bun’: Fans React to Tia Mowry’s Dazzling New ‘Do

Tia Mowry is dropping gems in her Instagram captions while rocking gems in her hair in a recent Instagram post that stopped fans mid-scroll.

The “Family Reunion” actress beamed in a selfie posted on Jan. 9, clearly feeling her look as she smiled in a gray-and-white printed sweater, large gold hoops, naturally beat face, and bejeweled topknot bun, complete with laid baby hair. In her caption, she quoted former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt to add a little extra motivation for her followers.

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Remember that!” she reminded her fans in her post. “Love y’all! #topknot Eleanor Roosevelt.”

The “Whole New You” cookbook author and vitamin brand Anser co-founder has been praised for her thoughtful lifestyle, which centers on family, wellness, and self-love. Having made the successful transition from child star to adult actress and businesswoman hasn’t been an easy one, however, with Mowry admitting that she’s had to work to avoid being “pigeonholed.”

“The hardest thing for me as a child actor and growing as a woman is getting people to see you as an adult and seeing you as a woman,” she explained. Sometimes what happens is that you’re portrayed as this actor and you’re on this television show, people pigeonhole you and put you in this box. They don’t think you can play or portray a character that’s an adult. Navigating through those waters was challenging.”

Tia’s inner and outer beauty lit up fans’ screens, and the image received over 127,000 likes.

“So so so gorgeous! 😍”

“Can we agree that there’s so much love in that bun😍”

“Oh how you are wearing such peace & beauty👑😍”

“❤️ Yes babygirl 💯 let em know”

“You are stunning!! 😍”

Mowry had resumed filming “Family Reunion” in late 2020, but production was recently halted due to surging COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
