Bold! Vibrant! Powerful! Those are the words that come to mind when you think of the Queen of Salsa, Celia Cruz’s beauty looks.

Carmen Miranda - Cardi B

Carmen Miranda was the first Latina to bring tropical beauty to life. During her days as a samba singer and dancer, the Portuguese-born star’s fruit-inspired headwraps quickly became the talk of the town. Now, artists like Cardi B are taking the actress’ style to the next level. Whether it’s on the red carpet or in a music video, we’re sure Kulture’s momma is a fan of the late Miranda.

Selena Quintanilla - Becky G

The late Queen of Techno Cumbia singer continues to be a legendary icon within the Latinx community in many ways. Known for being a breakout Tejana singer, Selena Quintanilla was a real trendsetter. The Bidi Bom Bom Bom singer was known for rocking a classic red lip and perfectly sculpted cheekbones. Fast forward to a few decades later, Becky G is paying homage to her fellow hermana Mexicana. It’s safe to say, the Sin Pijama artist enrolled in a Selena makeup masterclass and we want in on her beauty tips.

The Mexican actress and singer, María Félix was one of the fiercest Latinas in cinema.
