Leave it to Rihanna to suss out the most impossible shade of lipgloss—then swipe on a coat with iconic nonchalance. For last night s Fenty Beauty event in Sydney, Australia, the pop star and beauty mogul opted for a pout painted in sterling pigment, the hue playing perfectly off an all-over snakeskin look.
Rather than affording her dress—defined by speckles and shifts of gray, black, and white—a pop of vivid color, Rihanna created a moment all the more striking by staying within the confines of the palette, her lips adorned in high-shine, holographic gloss (undoubtedly plucked from her Fenty color collection). Coupled with a burnished smoky eye and gleaming oversize hoops, the metallic moment was easily the main event—even with competition as stiff as a red-carpet-ready bucket hat. Whether worn as an ode to monochromatics or a reference to the year s moodier weather, the gauntlet has officially been thrown: it s time to test-drive the BadGal silver siren pout.
