The unrivalled queen of serving up a beauty look,Rihanna can turn her hand to pretty much anything and make it cool. From her game-changing Fenty Beauty make-up line to her fashion collections to her music, our favourite Bad Gal knows how to get stuff done – and well. It’s no different when it comes to her hair– she mixes it up regularly, switching between long, loose waves and her natural curly texture, with all the braids in between.
After 15 years in the spotlight, Rihanna’s back catalogue of styles is bursting at the seams, and what better way to spend a day in self-isolation than by browsing BritishVogue’s unofficial history of her hair (from 2005 through to 2020), in celebration of her dazzling appearance on the cover of the May issue?
