Rihanna has debuted a fresh new hairstyle, sparking major inspiration for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. The singer and entrepreneur was recently seen in Los Angeles sporting a sleek lob with curled-under ends, a striking departure from her recent longer looks.
She was spotted heading to Giorgio Baldi, a favorite dining spot, showcasing what appears to be her shortest hairstyle in quite some time. Known for her ever-evolving hairstyles, Rihanna continues to make bold beauty statements. Over the years, she has embraced a wide range of looks, from spiky updos with choppy bangs to eye-catching highlights. Just last spring, she stunned with long, blonde locks— a stark contrast to her current chic lob. However, it’s her shorter styles that have often garnered the most attention. Fans still remember her iconic pixie cut from the late 2000s and early 2010s, as well as the wavy crop with long bangs from 2016. Rihanna’s hair choices are just as trendsetting as her music, always pushing boundaries while staying true to her signature fearless style.
Her new lob is both flattering and fashionable, accentuating her face shape while adding a vintage touch that is currently on trend. Celebrity stylist Garren, co-founder of R+Co, describes lobs as a youthful and stylish choice that stands out, emphasizing confidence and sophistication while maintaining a modern edge.
Once again, Rihanna proves her ability to surprise and inspire with her style. For those looking to replicate her sleek lob, achieving the perfect cut and shape is key. When visiting the salon, ask for a chin-length bob with blunt edges and a slight under-curl to add volume. Garren suggests cutting the hair bluntly with scissors before using a razor to create a soft, textured effect.
To further customize the look, light face-framing layers can add dimension and structure. The goal is a polished yet effortless appearance, much like Rihanna’s signature style. Bringing an inspiration photo to the stylist can also help achieve the desired result.
For at-home styling, hairstylist Gary Levin, owner of ARCO New York salon, recommends using a round brush while blow-drying to add volume and smoothness. Once dry, a flat iron can be used to curl the ends under for a sleek finish. A light application of styling cream or hairspray helps maintain the shape, while avoiding excessive brushing preserves the style’s sharp, polished effect.
With this latest look, Rihanna continues to set trends and inspire hair transformations worldwide.
