While a reboot of the cult-favorite sitcom Girlfriends isn't yet in the works, actress and producer Tracee Ellis Ross's brand Pattern Beauty is giving loyal fans the next best thing. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the beloved television show, Pattern is getting the gang back together for its first-ever brand commercial.
“What was unique about Girlfriends that was different than Sex and the City was Sex and the City was all about their dating relationships with a girl group to discuss it with,” show creator Mara Brock Akil previously told Bazaar. “I wanted to shift it to the chosen family of sisterhood and use Joan and Toni as my Carrie and Mr. Big. It was always about that—whether or not that relationship was ever going to make it, and then letting all the other ones wrap around it. [Black women] did not have any seat at the table on Sex and the City. And although I still really enjoyed the show, I didn't see that as a rejection; I saw it as an opportunity.” Within the Black community and beyond, Girlfriends is widely beloved for its relatable representation of enduring female friendships.

In the new beauty campaign, directed by child and produced by ATTN: and De La Revolucion / Prettybird, Ellis Ross stars as the Chief Curltender or hair mixologist, guiding guests to the best solutions for their hair needs. Girlfriends actresses Golden Brooks, Jill Marie Jones, and Persia White each join in to showcase a distinct look while seeking their own Pattern product combinations.

Child brought creativity, passion, and a singular point of view to our commercial. In this spot, we wanted to celebrate the styling rituals with our cast of various textures as well as reunite my Girlfriends to show the joy that lives in our shared hair moments.”
