Kianna Naomi is a 26‑year‑old internet personality and storyteller based in New York. You might know her from her global travel vlogs or her growing book archive (@notkiannasbookclub). “Beauty, to me, is expression. The most beautiful person is the one who isn’t afraid to show their ugly. I see the most beauty in the woman who dances, cries, and jumps around like no one is watching,” she says. Below, she gives Dazed her 2025 beauty recap, and shares her affirmations for 2026.
