If there’s one lewk queen, it’s Riri. Her ever-changing hairstyles have become her signature, so it was no surprise when she launched her own haircare range, Fenty Hair, to complement her makeup brand. When we needed hair inspo, Rihanna was the obvious choice. Here are some of her most iconic looks that still have us obsessed.

The famous asymmetrical bob

Celebrity stylist Ursula Stephens was the genius hair designer behind Zendaya’s stunning 2025 Met Gala look. When it came to creating this iconic style with Rihanna, both were looking for something fresh and different for her stage presence. And boy, did they deliver! The look was a game-changer, breaking boundaries in the beauty industry worldwide. It transcended faces shapes – oval, triangle, diamond – and proved that great style knows no bounds.

Voluminous half-up

Full, bouncy, and wavy – this look was one of Rihanna’s best styling moments. It perfectly showcased her face, highlighting her striking features and letting her captivating eyes shine without a single strand out of place. With her gorgeous locks, the half-up look accentuated her bone structure, proving once again that Rihanna can rock any style with effortless flair.

A sleek bun

The classic and clean hairstyle that’s perfect for any occasion. A sleek bun is the ultimate timeless look for every woman, suitable for any season. Try it for a classic event like a tea party, dinner party, or wedding – it exudes a polished elegance with every strand pulled up. For an extra touch of sleekness, take a leaf out of the Riri play book and lay your edges smoothly.
