A hot, new bombshell enters the villa… No, it’s not Love Island, it’s Rihanna, looking like the fire emoji personified with bright blonde hair and lots of leopard print.
The musician and Fenty Beauty founder was snapped leaving a restaurant recently with long, light blonde hair parted in the centre, and styled in loose, casual bends and waves. It flowed all the way past her shoulders and down to her mid-back, a look which simply oozed bombshell glamour. The colour is a few shades lighter than the honey-blonde shade she’s been rocking over the past few months, and so pale that it straddles the line between butter blonde and platinum.
As a lifelong lover of all things leopard print, I have to take a minute to mention how perfect this blonde looks with the ultra-glitzy combination of leopard miniskirt, long coat (with a full train!) fuzzy Louis Vuitton bag, and layered diamond necklaces (did someone say mob wife aesthetic?). Though Rihanna’s eyes are covered by her translucent, brown aviator sunglasses, there’s still make-up inspiration to be gleaned from this night-out look: namely the high-shine, rusty-red lip gloss.
Although this ranks up there among her best beauty looks, it’s not the first time Rihanna has gone blonde. Perhaps most iconic was her golden shag, circa 2012 (which I firmly believe is one of the best celebrity hair cut and colour combinations of all time), and since she first debuted a honey-blonde colour in late 2023, she’s continued to get blonder and blonder. She’s not the only one though; Zendaya went blonde for the Challengers press tour, and more celebrities keep dropping look after look of the same ilk. If you’ve been considering a blonde moment of your own, what more proof do you need that it’s the shade for spring?
