Alicia Keys in September of 2008 at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival for "Golf Rocks" at the Magna Golf Club. This is such an amazing braided hairstyle. She looks stunning in this unique braid style. The thick braid starts out at the top of her forehead and stretches the length of the top of her head until it's neatly worked into a long ponytail. The sides are very sleek. What a great hair braiding style.
