‘It Finally Looks Like She Wasn’t Forced’: Tia Mowry’s Daughter Cairo Steals the Show In the Star’s Fashion Post

Tia Mowry‘s daughter Cairo Hardrict’s mannerisms became the topic of conversation on Jan. 29, after the actress debuted what fans deemed fashionable new looks for mommy and daughter.

In the Instagram post, Mowry, who wore an all-yellow ensemble, is seen holding a dress before gently placing it on the bed. As the attire hits the mattress, Hardrict appears on the screen in a curled position.

The clip continued with the mother-daughter duo spending their special moment showcasing their best moves as they danced along to James Brown’s 1976 single “Get Up Offa That Thing.”

In addition to the recording, the “Family Reunion” star informed her followers that the 3-year-old is in the video because Hardrict wanted to spend quality time with her. She wrote, “When Cairo wants to hang with Mommy, ya’ll better believe I say yes!”

As fans began to view the upload, several individuals expressed Hardrict’s eagerness to be a part of this video compared to the previous ones, including a holiday-themed post alongside her older brother, Cree Hardrict. Others brought up the toddler’s acting abilities. 

“It finally looks like she wasn’t forced.”

“She finally looks like she wants to do this.”

“Cutie pie Cairo is getting in on the action!”

“Give Cairo the Oscar for Best actress.”

“The drop. Okay Cairo got the dramatics down, let’s get her an audition lol”

Among the remarks regarding Hardrict’s gestures in the video, a handful of social media users complimented the pair’s ensembles. One wrote, “Ok that transition was so cuuuuute!!!! We need more of these mommy and daughter moments and the stylish outfits!”

Another said, “Such a cute video! You both look beautiful in your vibrant colors.” A third person stated, “The coordinated outfits and the kisses for mommy….melt my heart!!!”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
