It’s been decades since Vanessa Bell Calloway played her iconic Coming to America character, Princess Imani.

But recently, she shocked just about everyone by proving that black ‘still’ doesn’t crack when she shared a picture of herself dressed as Princess Imani on Instagram.

It’s been almost three decades since Calloway brought us her iconic character, but even now, she’s proving that she can just keep right on slaying.
