As someone who has been every shade of the blonde rainbow in her life, I know all too well that once you start bleaching, it's hard to stop. It's so much fun to go lighter and lighter, and I think Rihanna would agree.
The musician and Fenty Beauty founder started going blonde in early October, when she was photographed out for dinner at Carbone in New York City with a rich, warm dark blonde hair color versus her usual deep espresso shade. Now, it appears Rih has gone even lighter with her blonde; she and her partner A$AP Rocky flew out to Las Vegas for the F1 Grand Prix, where she was spotted with long, loose curls colored a gorgeous honey blonde. When she first debuted the blonde, we weren't sure if it was going to stick around, but she's clearly having fun with the color.
Rihanna is now completely, fully blonde from root to tip. Her hair is the lightest we've seen it in years, with sandy tones mingling alongside shades of honey, wheat and gold. She wore it parted to one side with long bangs angled over her forehead and styled the new shade in tousled curls and waves. Though she wore sunglasses to keep her eyes shielded from a bevy of camera flashes, her lips were painted a traffic-stopping bright red, a color she's been loving for much of this year. (Remember her red-to-toe look at the Super Bowl Halftime Show?)
Though she has gone a little lighter in the past, like the blonde chunks she wore for a photoshoot in 2021, Rihanna hasn't been blonde-blonde in quite awhile. Of course, her 2012-era blonde is probably the gold standard (pun intended) for Blonde Rihanna, but she's also been platinum in the past. Obviously this is Rihanna we're talking about, so any color she chooses is bound to be major, but there's something about a blonde Rih that feels so good.
