Pastel makeup and puffed sleeves are hardly the kind of styling details one would associate with Rihanna, but such is the magic of pop s baddest chameleon. Back in good girl mode, RiRi attended the Valerian premiere in Los Angeles last night in a frothy millennial pink confection that called for a head-to-toe beauty refresh down to her pedicure.
The singer, whose summer has included a romantic Ibiza getaway with rumored paramour Hassan Jameel and one resounding Instagram troll-slap, stepped back into the spotlight with trademark in-it-to-win-it swagger. But while her couture Giambattista Valli gown ticked all the princess boxes, her beauty strategy was all about clean, minimalist cool.
Above the neck, pinkish nude makeup played nicely with a textured high ponytail, while gleaming skin ushered a beachy favorite into unfussy black-tie territory. And yet, it was the singer s white-hot pedicure that stole the show, offering one last piece of advice to anyone overwhelmed by a rainbow of polish choices at the salon these days: With the right attitude, basic is never boring.
