Alice Vandervliet, Eva Edwards, and Sadie Jacobs are braiding Edwards's hair after school in the hallway. Edwards thought that Vandervliet's French braids looked really good, so she wanted some herself. "We've all been super close since middle school, and Alice inspires me in many ways, especially with fashion and the way she looks," Edwards says. "I also think Sadie is artistic and her and Alice braiding my hair made me happy, knowing they are both so beautiful."
