Yara Shahidi Wanted a Designer Graduation Cap and Gown

But she settled for something standard.

The very talented, beautiful, and always stylish Yara Shahidi graduated from high school this week, and as usual she caught our attention with her clean lady-like style. 

This talented 17-year-old actress was all smiles while posing in her graduation cap and gown. Honestly, you can't help but be excited for the teen, who will be attending Harvard College in the fall. While her day looked like it went off without a hitch, ever the style star, Shahidi wanted to make her look just a bit more special. 

“I wonder if I can change my cap and gown to make it Comme des Garçons-inspired,” Shahidi shared with W Magazine. She was, of course referring to the current Costume Institute exhibit at the Met, where she snapped this pic yesterday. 

Our opinion? She looks stunning! Our hats go off to you, lady!
