Adding to her catalogue of iconic looks, Rihanna has served up an awesome take on the many mullet looks she’s hit us with in the last year. This time, it’s all about the long, sleek, angled sideburns, dramatically cut to a point.
Her new look was debuted with two scene-stealing photos to Instagram this week, which was promoting her upcoming Fenty perfume range. On top of the super futuristic-looking sideburns, her hair has been styled to be super sleek and she’s bossing some frosty combination of diamond dangly and hoop earrings in one ear.
Fans have flocked to her Insta to pledge their love to the ‘burns, with one tweeting: “whatever this sideburn bang situation is kinda cute” and another pleading: “Sis please stop murdering us with these fire looks I’m dead”.

We have to ask, is the Rudeboy singer bringing the latest rebellious hairstyle to us? Stars such as Miley Cyrus – who took inspo from her dad, Billy Ray – and Cardi B may have brought the mullet look to the fore, but we’re loving Rihanna’s twist on what happens when you grow it out.
As we get a grip on a regular hairdressers appointment one again, stylists have been reportedly inundated with requests for ‘dos such as the “shullet”, a cross between the ‘90s shag and ‘80s mullet. Messy, sexy, textured – we’re here for it.

RiRi’s mullet has been creating waves for quite some time, too. Last month she posted an awesome taster of her choppy ‘do – as part of a shoot with Vogue Italia – complete with Billie Eillish-style lime green streaks. Obsessed.
