Prince Rocks Winged Eyeliner Better Than You in Passport Photo
Most women who have attempted winged eyeliner know that no matter how steady your hand, nine times out of 10 you wind up looking like Alice Cooper in a windstorm.
But Prince rocks the look like a friggin’ boss – in his passport photo, no less.
The Purple Rain singer posted this shot of himself to Twitter, also writing “PRINCE ROGERS NELSON::PASSPORT PICTURE 2/11/16.”
It’s so perfect you’d think the man has been taking lessons from the queen of winged eyeliner herself, Adele.
The artist also sports a perfectly coiffed afro, finely-groomed eyebrows and flawless skin.
You gotta hand it to the guy for bringing the glam, even in his passport pic.
We’re also happy to report that Prince seems to have really gotten the hang of Twitter.
When he first joined a couple years ago, he posted his first “selfie,” although the photo featured nothing but some smoke.
Prince is currently on tour in Australia performing with nothing but a piano and a microphone.
During his first show in Melbourne, Prince dedicated a performance of his hit song “Little Red Corvette” to Vanity, his former girlfriend who died earlier this week.
“Her and I used to love each other deeply,” he said of his former flame, whose real name was Denise Matthews. “She loved me for the artist I was, I loved her for the artist she was trying to be. She and I would fight. She was very headstrong cos she knew she was the finest woman in the world. She never missed an opportunity to tell you that.”
He continued to sharing more memories of her and added, “I probably shouldn’t be telling this story, but she’d want us to celebrate her life and not mourn her.”
Vanity was 57.

Mos Def: ARRESTED in South Africa for Using a "World Passport"
The rapper formerly known as Mos Def was arrested in South Africa after trying to leave the country on a “world passport.”
Unfortunately for Mos, who now goes by Yasiin Bey, this world passport thing was not recognized by authorities.
As a result of these actions, Bey is now banned from South Africa for five years and has two weeks to leave the country.
However, a spokesman for Bey told OkayAfrica that the world passport is a legitimate document and that the allegations lodged against him are bogus.
He issued a statement that read:
“From what I’ve read their allegations are wrong. He attempted to leave the country for a professional commitment and was denied the ability to board an airplane after providing his World Passport.
“It’s issued by the World Service —in support of the UN Declaration of Human Rights.
“His understanding is that the South African government has previously accepted the World Passport to enter the country and to provide visas as recently as August.”
Although Bey has a U.S. passport, he chose not to use it for social and political reasons.
“He considers himself a world citizen and wanted to to use his World Passport in support of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.”
Bey was trying to board a plane to travel to Ethiopia to perform in the Selam Music Festival.
The entertainer, who was popular in the 90s and appeared in films like The Italian Job and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, entered the country on an American passport in 2013 and overstayed his visitor’s permit in 2014.
