Butt-length hair seems to be the in-style right now. Lately, Khloe Kardashian has been rocking the Rapunzel-esque locks, Beyoncé sported hip-skimming curls at the Oscars after party and even Drew Barrymore underwent a recent transformation that featured XXL hair extensions. It seems, the stars can’t get enough of the look.
Now adding to the roster of butt-length hair celebs is none other than superstar Rihanna. The mum-to-be shared an Instagram post in which she captioned "me and my date for Oscar Gold Party #bump22" while showing her baby belly in a custom Valentino black mesh top. Sooo cute!
And whilst we have to admit she does have a gorgeous pregnancy ✨glow✨, we must also take a mo' to appreciate the brand new locks she also debuted. Take a scroll below to see the hair from every angle:
Celebrity hairstylists Yusef and Naphia are the wizards behind the fabulous work and have also shared a range of pictures on Instagram. Ri's hair has been styled pin-straight and the pair have also added some extra, exxxtra long hair extensions for some added drama.
Either that or she's using a magic serum that has made her hair miraculously grow in a matter of weeks. Although the latter would fit into my Hollywood fantasy, I have to admit, it is highly unlikely...
The dynamic hair duo have also styled the hair part diagonally, originating from the middle and sweeping outward to the side. It adds a bit of a twist to the classic look which we love.
Everyone's clicking on...
If you've been debating whether to try hair extensions, take Rihanna's recent hair (along with every other butt-length look) as your sign...
