Rihanna has officially joined the ranks of celebrities who’ve tried platinum blonde hair, and it’s just as iconic as you’d expect.
The singer stepped out in Los Angeles with new blonde locks, curled into an elaborate up-do. Of course, a hair transformation this dramatic warrants an equally iconic outfit: Rihanna paired her new look with baggy ripped denim, a graphic tee, and a silver satin kimono-style coat. And for accessories, she took a maximalist approach, layering plenty of necklaces, paired with black sunglasses a Dior saddle bag, and bejewelled Gucci slingback heels. Needless to say, we want it all.
So in honour of Rihanna’s new blonde ‘do, keep reading for our favourite platinum transformations, and don’t blame us if you find yourself booking a hair appointment soon after.
