Is it Valentine’s Day yet? It is if you’re Rihanna, who has the entire internet swooning with her dark pink retro victory rolls hairstyle… and her Savage X Fenty V-Day lingerie, obv.
The musician and Fenty founder showed off her lingerie line’s latest drop wearing her hair in a vintage-inspired style befitting the throwback vibes of her ensemble. Her hair was dark at the root, fading into a bright magenta at the mid-lengths to the ends for a romantic ombré effect. The top section was pulled up and rolled into two big, sculpted ‘40s-style victory rolls, which were shaped into precise circles and pinned to meet in the middle. The pink ends pop so perfectly in the roll, with a cool mix of darker tones and vivid hot pink adding depth and dimension.
The rest of Rihanna’s hair was styled straight and loose down her back. She wore soft, subtle eye makeup and opted for a similar magenta shade on her lips, framed with darker liner for contrast.
Savage X Fenty
To say fans were into the look is an understatement; in the collection video, Rihanna plays Cupid by launching a flaming rose via a bow and arrow, sending it straight into all of our hearts. “Only girl in the world (explicit version),” commented one follower. Others left a bevy of flame and heart-eye emojis, capturing our feelings exactly.
We love when Rihanna puts her spin on vintage hairstyles, like the shiny Old Hollywood waves she wore for a recent Fenty Hair event or her fluffy, curly take on ‘40s film noir hair, which she wore for a fun, cheeky video opposite her partner A$AP Rocky. If there was ever a time to practice your pin-curling and hair-rolling skills to channel your inner pin-up, it’s Valentine’s Day, a.k.a. the holiday of romance and l’amour. We’ve got about a month until February 14 rolls around, so thanks for giving us plenty of time to get started, Rihanna!
