Beauty Crush Wednesdays #BCW: Ruby Rose

If you stay up to date with the latest models, DJs, or even just binge-watch Orange Is The New Black, then by now you’ll definitely have heard of the beauty that is Ruby Rose.

So why is Ruby Rose our Beauty Crush Wednesday (you may secretly be asking yourself)? Well, aside from the fact the woman is just GORGEOUS on the outside, she also stands for huge ideas on what a woman is or can be. That simple idea of pushing the boundaries, in my opinion, is something beautiful and something we definitely explore and support on FBD.

In multiple interviews where she’s discussed her beauty aesthetic (she was just recently named the newest face of Urban Decay), Rose has long been vocal about the rigidity of the gender binary and gender roles. The lasting impression with what she pushes for all people to do? “Only you know who you were born to be, and you need to be free to be that person,” she told Elle magazine.At the end of the day, Rose’s self-love testament and urging of others to accept who they are empowers people to define their own identities, their own truths, and love themselves for who they are. It also embraces and pushes this idea of womanhood, which we celebrate every day but especially in the month of March. What can be more beautiful than that? 

Female and human empowerment is beautiful, and so is Ruby Rose! Be unapologetically you, always. She’s definitely our #BCW, is she yours?
