Ade looks to me like she's wearing a slicked down wig.  I found her short, real hair to be much more attractive and distinctive.  It reflected her personality.

From the very beginning, Ade and Blair were, from what I recall, the very first models to show their tummy area while modeling pants.

Previously the norm was to keep the waistline and tummy area completely covered, so that all pant styles looked the same.  Just 3/4 of the pant legs showing.

So, thank you Ade and Blair !!

Lately, most models do briefly show the waistline and tummy area.

Thank you, I also have another Yoruba name, an Igbo nickname, a Christian name, and an Italian name.  They all have meanings that grow from their ethnicities.

I love the intricacies of Yoruba names, particularly the names that tell the order of birth or such incidents of birth.

@NYwoman ...........Thank you for the lessons in the names, I find it very interesting.

Ade has such an exotic look and is beautiful, although I do prefer her original hair style instead of the wig, but whatever works for her is all that matters.

The name is Ade a short form of a longer Yoruba name of which Ade is a part of.

There is a meaning of royalty or "crown" within her full name.   

For instance, my name is Titilayo, one who gives joy, and the nickname or short form is Titi.  All Yoruba names mean something, either a wish for them, a description of their birth, or a quality they seem to have.

Yoruba is an ethnic group mostly in Nigeria but also in Benin and Togo.

@NYwoman   Thanks for the explanation and meaning of the names. It will make it more interesting when I see Ade now.

Ade is a stunning model.  She stays quite busy, modeling for QVC, other major retail, and artists needing models.

Ade shaved all her hair off, including her eyebrows, months ago.  I'm not sure if it was initially for a specific modeling job, personal preference, or anything else.  But she continues to work steadily either bald or in the wig she wears for QVC and also sometimes for other modeling jobs. 

Ade can be seen in a mural in downtown Philadelphia, painted by the artist Walé Oyejide.

Walé designed a mural called, The Mother,  that lifts up commonality between the histories of longtime African American residents in the Southwest neighborhood and new immigrants to the area predominantly from West Africa. Walé is a multi-disciplinary artist who employs beauty to illustrate the contributions of immigrants.

I loved her previous natural look. Whether the new do is a wig or her hair , I don't care for it at all.
