Some note seasonal shifts by changes in temperature, while others rely on solstices and equinoxes as the official marker of another year s quadrants. Others, still, look to aesthetics—and one look at Rihanna s Tuesday Instagram is a sure sign that summer is near. The pop star posted a trio of captures showcasing a high-impact hairstyle and crochet-clad skin defined by its hydrated shine.
First came the series of flat-twists that gave way to a crown of diminutive Bantu knots, the ultimate in toppers. Effulgent touches of makeup—a bit of brightening shadow at the corners of each eye, a swipe of glass lipgloss—gave way to limbs showcasing an impressive radiance. The secret? Fenty Beauty s Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream. “One thing bout #BUTTADROP , it’s gon give what’s its s’pose to gave!!!” captioned Riri, as if scrollers needed further proof. An assemblage of accessories, lace-up mesh pumps, and a graphic black and white manicure further punctuated the moment. Start moisturizing, all—summer is nearly here.
