A decade of Rihanna’s best beauty looks

Yes, it's an adorable snap of Ri and A$AP Rocky, but what we're focusing on is the side fringe. Like, did she just make the Y2K emo swoop chic?! If anyone could do it, it'd be Rihanna.

Aside from her appearance at the 2021 Met Gala alongside boyfriend ASAP Rocky, Rihanna’s spent most of the year keeping a low profile. But the Bajan beauty did step out to attend Complex Con and debuted a fresh hairstyle while she was at it, rocking a hybrid hair look of Bantu knots and waist-grazing braids. The tastemaker is at it again.

Kicking the year off right, Rihanna let the folks know that she was setting trends in 2021, with the singer rocking a mullet on New Years Eve.

Dressed in orange from head to toe, RiRi’s tangerine-hued makeup moment shows just how wearable the shade can be when worn in sheer layers.

From the cornrows to the brown monochromatic glam makeup, Rihanna served up a hot reinvention of ‘90s touchpoints with this look.

Not a flyway in sight and pink lashes on point, this refined take on raceway chic is everything. A round of applause for Miss Fenty please.

Remember that time Rihanna bodied yet another Met Gala red carpet and reminded us all that she was the inventor of blush? Yep, same, and we’re still shook about it TBH.

Cool-girl bobs and curtain bangs aside, this greige neutral glam makeup look is so perfectly polished we could stare at RiRi’s face all day.

As far as we’re concerned, nothing mattered before this moment on the Met Gala red carpet. From her iconic floor-grazing canary yellow train to her cutesy auburn bob and angled brows, Rihanna truly outdid herself here.

Dripping in literal Swarovski crystals, the singer wrapped her hair in the same transparent fabric as her dress and topped off the look with a sparkly smokey eye in a gunmetal shade of grey.

In full bad gal mode, Rihanna is rocking a mullet, shaved head AND blue lipstick. *chefs kiss*

Only Rihanna could upstage an entire runway of Victoria’s Secret Angels and boy do we love her for it. The singer polished off her sleek waves with a deep rose gold glam moment that we’ve been thinking about ever since.

Sporting the signature red hue that kicked off her “Only Girl” era, RiRi looks every bit the vampy glam princess sporting a deep shade of red lipstick and an impressive wrap-around braid.
