Michaela Jaé Rodriguez Shaved Her Head to Make a Statement About Femininity

Jennifer Hudson thinks Michaela Jaé Rodriguez looks like a “supermodel”!

On Friday’s episode of “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” JHud interviewed the “Loot” actress and discussed how Michaela shaved her head in February.

The “Pose” alum — who became the first transgender actor ever to win a Golden Globe — said she wanted to free herself of the constraints that hinder women.

“I wanted to break down the barriers of what and how a woman or a trans woman should feel or look,” she said. “I just wanted to break down that mold. Your femininity isn’t held within your hair or your clothes. It’s held within you, and how you exude yourself.”

When pictures of Michaela flashed across the screen, JHud exclaimed, “Supermodel in the house!”

Michaela recently starred in Calvin Klein’s Modern Cotton basics campaign in which she showed off her fit figure in the brand’s underwear.

“It’s crazy,” Michaela said about her photo shoot. “I never thought I would be around the world in my underwear, all over the place. That was a lot.”

Michaela said it was “eye-opening for me to accept my vulnerability and let people see how vulnerable I am.”

“I feel stronger. I feel even more seen than I ever have before,” she said.
