Rihanna at MTV VMAs: Hair and Makeup

Love It or Hate It? Rihanna's MTV VMAs Look

September 7, 2008

One thing's for sure — this lady doesn't shy away from the bold. We already know that Rihanna is no stranger to changing her hair color, so it should come as no surprise she's done it again. Piled high on her raven-hued pixie, she's sporting some serious vivid blue and platinum streaks, teased wildly — mohawk style. Her sassy and bold locks are complemented by her two-toned eye makeup. Check out the way she used navy liner on the bottom and taupe-y beige accents on the top. With all of that going down, she keeps her lips a light glossy nude. So, tell me — what do you think of Rihanna's untamed, multi-hued hair and coordinating makeup?

The hair is awful and I really don't like the liner just on the bottom. Also the shade of blue really doesn't flatter her skin, it's too gray.

Gorgeous! I really love how she has the makeup going back with the hair, hehe. I LOVED the hairstyles she had both off and onstage also. I find she is bold indeed, she doesn't always stick to what ppl expect or think she should.Re: HairAgain some people only looking at their standards, even though she has made it international and has been/is influence by both American and European culture, she is still a CARIBBEAN woman, what looks weird to you compared to the "European standard" of things is not that way in the Caribbean, (mostly in the hair department) especially in her country where is not unusual to see the young ppl (from 16 up to their 20s..sometimes 30s) sporting these kind of looks/hairstyles, alot of them look great also!! People wear they hair natural,straightened, braided or weaved, curly, wavy, straight, long, short (especially shorter than Rihanna!!, don't get a stroke now, plus i've seen crazier stuff than Rihanna's) locs,wigs in those hard to do/maintain styles, hair in different colors, it is nothing new to them nor nothing new to me and I love the style even though some have made their ignorant remarks (not on this post) on it. All I can say is to get out more, open your eyes..real fashionistas out there, don't only stick to the European or the "typical" look in those sort of countries...especially you black girls out there, just becuase you think you can only deal with that (you don't have to wear those sort of styles either!), just so you would have a sense of other styles and trends and just don't call something weird or whatever becuase its different and not for you. Others who don't have a problem, good for you, hard for others to accept things that are different and seem unusual to them, you got taste! :p

I love Rihanna. I even love her make up. But the hair makes her look like Ursula (you know, the evil villain from a little mermaid...)

Not liking the hair. Love the makeup.

risqueredhead 4 years 37 weeks

like the makeup mostly, but not the hair.

She can pull anything up, but she's got wayyyyyyyyy too much foundation...

I like everything except the pale lips.

I can relate with Rhianna and continuous messing around with ones hair color and style.

Hot! Looks so good! I'm weird with Rihanna. I either passionately love her looks or passionately hate them. I suppose it's because she is always taking risks.
