A hot new bombshell enters the villa … No, it’s not Love Island, it’s Rihanna, looking like the fire emoji personified in bright blonde hair and lots of leopard print.
The musician and Fenty Beauty founder was snapped leaving the Nice Guy restaurant in Los Angeles on April 11 with long, light baby blonde hair parted in the center and styled in loose, casual bends and waves. It flows all the way past her shoulders and down to mid-back, simply oozing bombshell glamour. The color is a few levels lighter than the honey-blonde shade she’s been rocking the past several months, so pale that it toes the line between butter blonde and platinum. The blonde did look lighter when she was photographed out for dinner in Los Angeles a few days prior, but because it was a) nighttime and b) pulled up in a curly updo, it was hard to tell for sure.

As a lifelong lover of all things leopard print, I have to take a minute to mention how perfect the blonde looks with the ultra-glitzy combination of leopard miniskirt, long coat (with a full train!), fuzzy Louis Vuitton bag, and layered diamond necklaces. This is a dream outfit for me. Though Rihanna’s eyes are covered by her translucent brown aviator sunglasses, there’s still makeup inspo to be gleaned from this night-out look, notably the shiny rusty red lip gloss.
Rihanna’s blonde era version 2.0 has been so much fun to watch; Rih has gone blonde many times before most notably with her now-iconic golden shag circa 2012, which I firmly believe is one of the best celebrity hair cut/color combos of all time. She first debuted the honey-blonde color in late 2023 and has just gotten blonder and blonder — and she’s not alone! Zendaya went blonde for the Challengers press tour, and keeps dropping look after look. If you’ve been considering a blonde moment of your own, what more proof do you need that it’s the shade for spring?
