We can all collectively agree that when it comes to Rihanna, we’re always in awe and her Super Bowl debut is no different. During the Super Bowl’s halftime, Rihanna stepped onto the stage emulating a vision in red with her bold fashion choice of a boiler suit alongside her timeless beauty look that we can’t get enough of. She dazzled viewers as she performed her 12-song set that opened with ‘B*itch Better Have My Money’ and included ‘Diamonds’ and ‘Only Girl (In the World)’.
We have Priscilla Ono to thank for her iconic make-up look as she shared that the team at Fenty “wanted her beauty look to celebrate this moment and be a true reflection of her timeless beauty.” They also noted that they wanted to pay a special tribute to Rihanna’s favourite lip colour, red.
Now for what you’ve all been waiting for, the details about exactly what RiRi was wearing and how we can glam up like the Queen of Pop too.
First things first, let’s start with her hair. As always, Rihanna’s hair was looking sleek and stylish, and for that we have Yusef Williams to thank. Yusef created the sleek ponytail that rocked a pair of stylish 90s wisps alongside braids intertwined within her hair. It was giving hot bad girl energy and we are obsessed.
Now let’s get onto that red lip of hers, Priscilla mentioned that “the red stage called for the ultimate Rihanna red lipstick” and we couldn’t agree more. Priscilla absolutely scored big time (if you pardon the pun) with RiRi’s makeup look.
Ono used the Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor to prep the Queen of Pop’s face and followed with a thin layer of the Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, alongside the Pro Matte Powder Foundation.
Rihanna then styled the Fenty Beauty Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick in “The MVP” which was paired with her glittery eyes alongside her signature Bad Gal glow. Just when we thought the performance couldn’t get any better RiRi whipped out her Fenty Beauty Invisimatte Instant Setting Powder which she applied mid-performance, iconic!
Her look was completed with a glossy red manicure that was curated by nail artist Kimmie Kyees using CND Devil Red.
Rihanna pulled out all the stops this year at the Super Bowl as she announced that she was pregnant with her second child! She is truly iconic, and we feel blessed to have been honoured with such an amazing performance.
