Hair Category

This category highlights creative hairstyles worn by the Waistbead Lady herself, Jeniffer McGee. From locs with color to elegant finger waves from way back then (which, by the way, have made a comeback!), this is your space to showcase hair expression. Submissions may feature close-up or full-head views, and we welcome all hair types and textures. Show us how your hairstyle tells a story!

Feet Category

Beaded barefoot sandals come to life in this expressive category. Whether you're capturing beach walks, cultural outfits, or simple moments at home, your feet tell a story too. This category is all about the details — how the beads fall, shimmer, or wrap around. Natural lighting and interesting backdrops are encouraged!

Person Category

This is the full-body bead look category. Capture your entire vibe — waistbeads, bracelets, anklets, and even matching headwear. Submissions here can be fashion-forward, culturally inspired, or creatively posed. Show off how you wear beads with confidence and style, and inspire others with your look. We want to see the whole aesthetic!
