For that matter, the inherent joy of beauty and fashion is that there are no rules . Trends come and go, and certain styles are sure to stick, but ultimately style is a personal and artistic choice. As always, Rihanna just made a typical rebellious move. The singer stepped out with her hair in a square braid over the weekend, but only parted it, with the back loosely draped over her shoulders.
The moment immediately divided fans on social media, who raved about RiRi’s new look. Her semi-finished, semi-free-flowing style makes a purposeful statement—a fresh, colorblock-like, yet textured approach to hair. For some, Rihanna’s length seemed unfinished; for others, unabashedly cool.
Chaos happens naturally only when aesthetics defy convention. For Rihanna, setting trends is the natural order of things. In short: Don’t be surprised if blocked box braids continue to pop up this season—rebels tend to pave the way.
