If you’re thinking about growing out your hair for spring or summer, Rihanna’s latest look might make you reconsider. The Fenty Beauty founder has been experimenting with longer styles recently, but she just stepped out in a sleek, curled-under lob that is setting a new trend for 2025.
Rihanna was photographed heading to her favorite Los Angeles restaurant, Giorgio Baldi, wearing a glossy black lob that grazed her collarbone. The straight style had ends curled under for a soft, ’90s-inspired finish—calling to mind a modern version of the iconic “Rachel” haircut. This updated lob adds a fresh twist to the flipped-out bob that has dominated recent celebrity trends.
The overall look was effortlessly chic. Rihanna paired the lob with oversized black sunglasses featuring amber lenses, deep wine-colored lips that matched her tank top and pointed heels, and her signature milky manicure peeking out from her jacket sleeve. The combination was simple but striking.
Hair professionals have already named the blunt lob one of the biggest haircut trends of 2025. Rihanna’s endorsement will likely send even more people to the salon for a similar cut.
Rihanna is no stranger to hair transformations. Over the years, she’s worn nearly every style—from spiky updos with baby bangs to long blonde waves. She’s rocked streaky highlights, dramatic pixies, and edgy crops. One of her most memorable looks was the pixie cut she made famous in the late 2000s and early 2010s. In 2016, she also wowed with a wavy crop paired with long bangs.
Speaking to Allure in a past interview, Rihanna summed up her bold attitude toward hair: “I get bored, and I need to move on to something, or I’m going to crawl out of my body. Cut it. I don’t care. It’s hair. It’ll grow back. Bleach it, whatever. Just do something.”
With her latest lob, Rihanna continues to prove that she’s not just a trend follower—she’s a trendsetter.
