Sha’Carri Richardson’s look is over the top – that’s why it matters

Despite not being part of Team USA after a failed drugs test, Sha'Carri Richardson made a reappearance yesterday in an advert for Beats by Dre soundtracked by a new song from Kanye West. With her trademark long nails, long lashes and fire-cracker hair, Richardson has underlined the point that, Olympian or not, she is one of 2021's most electrifying style icons.
