5 Blow-Up Beauty Trends That Rihanna Took to the Next Level

It’s no secret that Rihanna has the power to make waves—just ask her 35.4 million followers or her eight platinum and multiplatinum albums. It’s an influence that extends all the way to her ever-evolving beauty looks. The way you can neither escape nor stop craving her latest single, a change in her hair length can send ripples through the streets and runways—and make you consider picking up the scissors, too. Perhaps it should come as no surprise that the abbreviated crop she wore to debut her Fenty x Puma collection also turned up at every show from Alexander Wang to Louis Vuitton. So, too, the Anti singer’s recent penchant for raven shades of lipstick was mirrored on runways including Dior, Marc Jacobs, and Marni.

When Rihanna takes an interest in, say, pastel makeup, we’d venture a guess that beauty counters experience a sudden spike in purple lipstick. This isn’t because the singer is infallible when it comes to her beauty choices (though a scroll through her day-to-day looks might suggest otherwise), it’s because she is by nature a rebel, which allows us to experience the risk visually before having to invest ourselves. From exaggerated nails to towering crowns of curls, here are five beauty trends that can be traced back to beauty’s best bad gal.
