Even girls that do have a little "shadow" look great. Perfectly smooth is preferable to any stubble aesthetics wise (and smoothness beats scratchiness of course) but even when girls have a really close buzz they look great. But you're right, blondes and black girls can go without a few days of shaving and it's hard to spot the hair growth.
Alek Wek is really dark and even though she has some hair it blends with her complexion perfectly. And white/asian girls who buzz it and dye the remaining hair blonde can give a deceptively smooth look.
Still I don't get the point in not going all the way other than the extra maintenance required, it certainly looks better to go smooth.
The music isn't my thing but the girl and the shave makes this a great video.
