Look of the Day - Essence Magazine

The ladies of the hit TV show "Orange is the New Black" are cranking up the heat on the cover of the July issue of Essence Magazine. 

Uzo Aduba, Danielle Brooks, Laverne Cox, Vicky Jeudy, Adrienne C. Moore and Samira Wiley sizzle in orange for the magazine's annual Body issue 

I love this quote from Emmy-winner Uzo Aduba. She admits it took her time to fully embrace her signature smile. "For the majority of my first 18 years, I hated my gap. My mom would tell me that in Nigeria, it's a sign of beauty. I was like, 'We're in Massachusetts.'" She continues, "Today there's not a selfie or personal photo I take where I'm not smiling wide. It sometimes feels as if I'm making up for lost smiles."
