Rihanna styled her chunky highlights with era-appropriate side bangs, giving off a strong early 2000s aesthetic. Her recent appearance at Paris Fashion Week, supporting A$AP Rocky’s American Sabotage collection with AWGE, showcased her penchant for bold hair transformations. She swapped her natural curls for sleek, extra-long black hair adorned with frosty blonde highlights and Millennial-style side bangs.
This look harkened back to trends from the early 2000s, demonstrating Rihanna’s influential touch in revitalizing nostalgic styles like chunky highlights, which had previously experienced a resurgence in popularity known as “skunk hair.”
