In an April interview with W Magazine, the multi-talented actress revealed that she shaved her head years earlier to help her stand out among similar-looking actresses at auditions.
‘I was trying to figure out what I wanted, and one of the things that I didn’t want was hair,’ she explained.
‘I love Black hair and the experience, it’s such a spiritual thing. But there’s also a lot of money. There’s also a lot of work. It’s a lot of time,’ she continued. ‘I was just finding myself unable to keep up with it, and the solution for me was to take it off.’
Although the cosmetic change was originally to help advance her career, its become a mostly permanent part of her recognizable style.
She’ll be starring on the show as Julien Calloway, who will apparently be a popular social media influencer who regularly sports Instagramable ensembles.

Jordan’s costar Eli rocked a similarly casual costume with a gray, white and tan plaid button-up shirt that he left untucked.
He wore it with charcoal jeans and a matching set of lace-free boots while sporting a shaggy hairdo.
In his own W Magazine interview, Eli shared that his character’s story on Gossip Girl has been so tightly kept that he had to read lines from the original series when auditioning, lest he learn secrets from the upcoming show.
‘I didn’t even know what I was getting into,’ he said. ‘But I did know that it’s a fun project.’
He plays Otto ‘Obie’ Bergmann IV, whose storylines are being kept under wraps, though he’ll reportedly be representing ‘privilege’ on the series.

Eli described his character as someone with good intentions who’s often blinded by his privilege.
‘He tries to give back and goes to support the workers striking at big corporations by bringing them doughnuts and coffee,’ he said, describing a scene from the show.
‘But he doesn’t realize he went out to a fundraiser dinner the night before and spent $2500 just to show up.
‘It’s like, dude, if you took that money and gave it to a solid cause, you’d be doing so much more. He’s stuck in limbo — he thinks he’s helping, but he’s not, really.’
The new Gossip Girl will have Joshua Safran, a writer and executive producer on the original series, working as showrunner.
The series reportedly is both a sequel and soft reboot that will take place in the same world of the original Gossip Girl, which means that past characters may be referenced or may even return at some point.
However, the focus of the show will be on a new group of characters who are less white, queerer and more diverse than the original cast.
The new series will feature at least one returning character with Kristen Bell coming back to voice the eponymous Gossip Girl blog.
