“Beautifully surreal moment seeing our delicate petal in full bloom,” her dad captioned the picture, tagging Yara and his wife, Keri. Shahidi reposted her father’s photo on her Instagram story.
Shahidi had been celebrating her then-pending graduation from the Ivy League school earlier this week. On Wednesday, she posted a photo with her brothers, Sayeed and Ehsan, on the steps of the university’s campus.
“T-Minus 1 day to GRADUATION🔥 so here I am, sharing this special moment with my most special day one’s,” she captioned the photo.
In 2017, Shahidi was accepted into Harvard, but took a gap year before beginning her studies. Former first lady Michelle Obama wrote her a college recommendation letter.
