And Celia Rose Gooding is continuing Nichols torch bearing with her hair choice!

"I think the first thing that people were really keeping an eye out for was that I chopped off all her hair, and I love it," she told TVLine.

"[What] was incredible with Nichelle's Uhura and Zoe's Uhura was that they had the epitome of what Black femininity was at the time."

"Now we’re in [2022], and I think the iconic short Caesar cut has been a thing for Black men for a long time, but we are slowly but surely as a community getting closer and closer to widening the ideals of what Black femininity looks like.

"Having an opportunity to take on the iconic character and still give her this layer of incredible grace… and also have her have this incredibly gorgeous short cut look – it just feels so right to me. Even with the Dora Milaje in Black Panther, their femininity was never questioned, but they all had real short cuts."

Never been a fan of permed hair. I like her natural look!

I'm fine if Celia Rose's Uhura never has the TOS Uhura hair, but I really wish they'd get around to giving her TOS Uhura's confidence.

Got nearly 10 years in between now and then. Well get there! They're doing a great job with the character development, I am oddly not worried.

I think the pacing of that growth is on purpose. Hemmer's main role seemed to be making Uhura grow into her TOS self.
