Wow❤. Perfect reminder to avoid trends,wear what we love & what looks good on us. Her grandmothers fashion sense is timeless.

[@ayannaevans238]

I totally agree!! Always love classic

[@dyoung2739]

@@ayannaevans238 Same. One of my sisters got married last year. I just happened to have an outfit in the color that she wanted guests to wear. Absolutely no one could believe that my outfit was at least 10 years old.

Truly Black Excellence!!!!!!

[@patritablackston2064]

Her taste was impeccable .!!!!

[@patriniacopeland6891]

She is stunning. Such beautiful young woman. She herself is the epitome of EXCELLENCE. She is well spoken, classy, and poised. The respect that she has for her beloved Grandmother, and the respect in which she handles her precious treasures is admirable❤

[@to4163]

Class and elegance. Not sleaze

[@dari4303]

Her grandmother probably had millions of dollars worth of vintage designer clothes!❤

[@nymeria7239]

Too bad granddad didn't realize that 😞😢

[@soniaharrison1016]

I am sure he knew how valuable they were, he gave them to his granddaughter as part of her inheritance. They are very wealthy so I am sure she is also taken care of financially.

[@nymeria7239]

@@soniaharrison1016 She says her older cousins and sisters got some, then "he gave *A LOT* of her clothing to the Real Real," which is an exclusive second hand store. You can see in her face (10:56 - 11:03) that she's smiling but she wishes he hadn't. They can be "very wealthy" but they obviously can't buy her another grandmother, and she would have liked to have had more of her things as a comfort and a remembrance.

[@mokaLARE]

She needs to preciously keep those dresses. A big treasure.

[@Chicago48]

She needs to take the show on the road. Honestly, have a fashion show and take it on the road. Publish a book.

[@patriniacopeland6891]

That is what she is doing!!!

[@mokaLARE]

@@Chicago48 yes. Or a museum dedicated to her granny: dresses, pictures…

[@mokaLARE]

@@patriniacopeland6891 yes. But she is wearing them which can ruin the materials. Unless she is wearing them just for shootings or for videos purposes.

[@MarisaFrasure]

​@@Chicago48: Maybe.... Rizzoli press?

[@IrishAnnie]

She’s such a beauty! She wears them well. She’s so stylish.

[@consciousanfesiashapsnikof8688]

Olivia, thank you for sharing your grandmother's love for clothing that will never be old. Her spirit continues to live through vintage wear. I love it!

[@agl5132]

What a gorgeous young woman. She could be a model herself. If she received what her cousins didn't want I can only imagine what they choose from the closets. I've been wearing vintage most of my 65 years. It just shows how styles come back around every few years. Those studded shoes are a prime example. Many blessings to this young woman. 👏🏽Tamron your top and earrings are 💯🔥 Both of you are exemplary, bringing black excellence forth. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@blaster36000]

The sable fur coat is quite a spectacular piece for $50,000! I believe her full length silver fox fur coat embodies Young Olivia in a nutshell, tho! 😂😂😂😂

[@traylong]

I know its gorgeous. I have a beautiful, pristine, full length chocolate mink coat from the 80s, picked it up for $70 Canadian, since fur is considered passe. Its light weight, luxurious, and super warm. I think it would have been about 30,000 then, which would be about $100,000. So pick up those beautiful furs now since they last forever and are so priceless

[@GreatGownsBeautifulGowns2018]

She had good taste.

[@llw53one]

She looks like her grandma. That smile is priceless ❤

[@jr_Renee]

Beautiful…..The BEST part is she fits everything 💕💕💕

[@queenebonyqueenebony]

I remember the Johnson & Johnson ads they made us feel so proud and beautiful to be black❤❤❤

[@70Sapphires]

Growing up, I saw ads for this company's products too, and want them to get the credit they deserve. So, I wanted to clear up a confusion. The young lady's grandparents were not part of Johnson & Johnson. Her grandparents created Johnson Products Company (black hair care products). Johnson & Johnson made medical products and later on consumer health products (which is how we got band-aids, and baby oil).

[@kaioiamo1503]

Johnson and Johnson is a different company.

[@CBrown9758]

YES!🤜🤛🥂🌟💫✨⭐️🫶

[@LindaJones-gq6bb]

Yes they did ❤❤❤

[@geisalagordon9966]

WOW!!! What a great inheritance

[@deirdreyearwood3383]

Grandma was an exquisite beauty with brains. Olivia is the perfect person to inherit this wonderful collection. Black excellence indeed ❤❤❤

[@Mikki220]

My Dad used to work for JPC. He loved it. Her grandfather was the hard nosed business man and his brother John was the creative ambitious figure. George and Joan were both hard nosed business people, a true power couple. Those are amazing clothes.

[@Mac62671]

Ms Johnson used to coordinate Fashion Fair Fashion show tours around the country and they were EVERYTHING. I grew up as a dark black girl in Kansas City, KS. The show came through with models of every hue. I went with my mom who loved fashion. It was amazing and I will never forget it. Ever.

[@LindaJones-gq6bb]

That is the Johnsons of Ebony And Jet magazine and cosmetics

Grandma had beauty and brains as well as a fashionista❤ #JohnsonAndJohnson #JohnsonLegacyTrends

[@ruffinarector541]

WOW what a testimony from her granddaughter !!! My eyes just welled up with tears!!! Such a beautiful sweet way to remember her!!! Thank you for sharing your story!!!

[@mobflight]

Her grandmother was the innovator of the Ebony Fashion Fair Fashion Show that brought haute couture to African Americans in the US.

[@realmommee8093]

No that was different Johnson. Eunice Johnson.

[@flashsanders1331]

Eunice Johnson was Ebony/Jet magazine Fashion Fair cosmetic and the Ebony Fashion Fair Fashion Show. Honey the event of the year often benefits scholarships.

[@soniaharrison1016]

You have the wrong Johnson’s.

[@soniaharrison1016]

The Ebony Fashion Fair was EVERYTHING.

They should have an exhibition of her grandmother's beautiful clothing at the met in NYC. Detailing her history as a business woman and sensational fashion sense.

[@SL-lz9jr]

Not sure how she’ll cover this except to increase her Coverage B limit on her homeowners or renters insurance. Not unless the clothes are considered valuables then I suppose she could get a valuables or collectibles policy

[@sabrina21clark]

I wonder if she ever got a chance to play in her grandma's closets? And if her grandma ever told her that she would inherit her wardrobe like I've always told my first grand daughter that all of my jewelry and handbags and wardrobe belong to her?
