Once I was in my tweens within the late ‘90s and early 2000s, my buddies and I spent hours poring over teen magazines, particularly the supersized promenade points. Positive, we had just a few years till our personal proms, however there was nothing higher than selecting your dream costume and matching hair and make-up from these shiny pages. Once I noticed Rihanna’s newest crimson carpet look, I immediately flashed again to these halcyon days of Y2K updo inspiration.
Only a few days after popping up on the British Style Awards in London, Rihanna and her associate A$AP Rocky landed in New York for the Footwear Information Achievement Awards. Rih put a 2024 spin on the ’00s along with her updo and choppy baby bangs, paired with a white collared robe and tons of diamonds and pearls—much less promenade, extra couture. Hairstylist Naphia White pulled the star’s hair up right into a excessive updo on the crown of her head, with items of hair wrapped, rolled, and pinned collectively on the base and the lengths feathered out in spiky tendrils of various lengths. Rihanna’s bangs had been uneven and uneven within the coolest means, with the longest portion simply touching the arch of her forehead and getting shorter and choppier as they moved up her brow, then descending in size as soon as once more.
I might simply see this updo within the pages of any Y2K-era journal, making a cameo in a teen film, or popping up in a TLC music video. The messy, ‘90s Pamela Anderson upstyle has been the go-to glamour updo of the previous few years, so it’s excessive time the ’00s equal makes a comeback.
