Alicia Keys is no stranger to experimenting with her hair, having sported styles that are long, short, buzzed, and braided.

But the mother of two has switched it up yet again, this time incorporating her signature undercut with long, flowing mermaid-like waves.

The 34-year-old, who welcomed her second son in December 2014, was spotted filming an advert in New York City’s Greenwich Village when she stopped to pick up some children’s books from an open market. She looked stunning in tight black jeans and leather attire, dressed head-to-toe in black despite the spring weather.

Her brunette hair was elegantly draped over one shoulder, with a stylish braid adding a touch of glam near her parting.

Alicia, who has sons Genesis and Egypt, recently revealed that she’s still not entirely comfortable with her post-baby body, even though she’s in great shape five months after giving birth. On her personal website, she expressed gratitude for her body and highlighted the importance of self-love.

In an April post, she wrote, “Thank you, utеrus, for making me a woman and for supporting every part of the process. Thank you, brеasts, for being a miracle and providing a source of nutrients for my son.”

She added, “And thank you, stomach—yes, you, stomach, whose extra inches I grab between my fingers, wondering when they’ll shed and be flat. Thank you for expanding, protecting, and bringing me my second greatest joy—another son!”

Alicia seems ready to get back to work after growing her family with her partner Kasseem Dean, better known as Swizz Beatz, whom she married in 2010.

She was recently part of Jay-Z’s Tidal initiative, joining other artists like Madonna, Beyoncé, and Rihanna at the launch of the artist-owned streaming service.

Additionally, Alicia was announced to make a guest appearance on the second season of Empire, alongside Chris Rock and Lenny Kravitz.
