There are some things Rihanna can get away with that us mere mortals just can't. Rocking—not just wearing—a mullet, for example. In a new teaser video for her upcoming Savage x Fenty lingerie show, the multi-hyphenate superstar is seen walking backstage with an undeniable mullet haircut. And she looks fiercer than ever.
The short sneak peek opens on Rihanna backstage at the Savage x Fenty show, strutting down a hallway in fishnet stockings and a bomber jacket with her name on it. She turns over her left shoulder to reveal a mullet haircut with tons of choppy layers and bangs at the front paired with a deep purple lipstick (from Fenty Beauty, no doubt).
This actually isn't the first or even second time we've seen Rihanna wear a mullet. There was a brief moment back in 2013 where Rihanna stepped out with the polarizing hairstyle and made headlines. She even paired it with electric blue lipstick, because again, Rihanna can wear literally anything. See below for evidence.
The first Savage x Fenty show premiered on Amazon Prime Video last year after being filmed during NYFW. This year's show, airing October 2 on Amazon, will be a star-studded affair. Appearances by Lizzo, Demi Moore, Cara Delevigne, Bella Hadid, Will Smith, Christian Combs, Irina Shayk, Big Sean, Paris Hilton, Normani, Rico Nasty, Chika, Erika Jayne, Laura Harrier, Paloma Elsesser, Shea Coulee, Miss 5th Ave, and Jada Essence Hall are set to appear this year. Rihanna herself opened the show last year, though it hasn't been confirmed yet if she will open it again this year.
The show appears to be have been filmed during quarantine, as makeup artists and hairstylists are seen backstage in the clip wearing masks and face shields as they touch-up the models, musicians, and celebrities.
