Tracee Ellis Ross pulled the ultimate throwback, reuniting with her ‘Girlfriends’ cast members for a commercial thats got fans in a frenzy! The queen of curls brought back Persia White, Golden Brooks, and Jill Marie Jones to plug her Pattern Beauty haircare line, and the marketing was genius, okay! Social media is eating this link all the way up, and were here for every second of this nostalgic slay.
On Friday, June 27, Tracee had ‘Girlfriends’ fans glued to their screens when she dropped a video on IG. Filmed in what appeared to be a production lot, the clip shows Tracee walking to the gate to greet none other than Jill Marie Jones like its 2002 all over again.
The hugs were tight, the smiles were wide. When Persia White and Golden Brooks joined in, it was like ‘Girlfriends’ theme song started playing in everyones heads. Tracee knew exactly what she was doing, teasing her followers with, Back together like we never left We have something fun to share. Come meet us at the PATTERN lounge tonight! The anticipation was real, yall, and the comments section was a whole mood, with fans quick to question whether we were in for a reboot announcement.
Just hours later, Tracee hit us with the big reveal. The reunion was all about her Pattern Beauty haircare line, and this commercial was a part of it. It gave a love letter to ‘Girlfriends’ stans worlwide in the most genius way. Tracee didnt just bring her girls back; she had them channeling their iconic characters for some epic cameos. The commercial is set in a chic ‘Pattern Lounge,’ where people are vibing, swapping haircare tips, and getting their curls right.
Tracee, acting as Joan, starts by letting everyone know that Pattern has the goods for healthy hair. Then, our favorite girls walk in, with Maya dramatically collapsing, crying, “My curls fell!” Jill, acting as Toni, comes through with the classic shade, and Joan swoops in to save Mayas hair game. The chemistry was like they never left our TV screens. Meanwhile, acting as Lynn, Persia was more concerned about the products held up by a nearby bartender.
Fans were LI-VING for this reunion, yall, as they took to the comments section, praising whoever came up with the idea. Peep some of their reactions below
