As the ancient internet proverb goes, "It's ugly until Rihanna [1] decides it's not."
That again proved to be the case when the inimitable pop entrepreneur appeared in her newest campaign [2] with striped red and black hair [3] evocative of MySpace's heyday when scene kids with teased raccoon hair and cling-wrap skinny jeans ruled social media. While influencers look a lot different these days, Rihanna's embrace of the early aughts hair trend makes us wonder if it's time for a revisiting — although perhaps not enough to start peppering "rawr XD" in captions.
Rihanna switched up her look for a special occasion: ahead of Valentine's Day, Savage X Fenty and Fenty Beauty teamed up for the first time on a range that also includes a new Gloss Bomb Heat [4] in "Lavender Savage." See the photos ahead before the collaboration goes on sale 20 Jan.
