Leave it to Rihanna to make pigtails look cool. Formerly the hairstyle of choice for girls under the age of ten and a certain silver-haired country-singing gentleman, the pop icon gave the twin braids street style appeal last night in Santa Monica. Not that we should expect anything less from the woman who has made everything from green lipstick to doobie wraps and pink pixie wigs seem like the modern beauty ideal. Her success in reimagining the childhood throwback lay with pairing it with chic, grown-up makeup—her bronze sculpting eye shadow and rose gold blush providing a soft glow, while her graphic cat eyes kept the hairstyle from going too soft. When in doubt, simply use the Rihanna rule of thumb: Throw on a backwards cap and call it a night.
