It goes without saying, but Rihanna is a trendsetter. But even the most influential among us are influenceable, so is it so crazy to think the superstar singer and entrepreneur might be browsing Pinterest for new hair ideas? It just so happens that side bangs have been creeping up in search popularity on the idea-amassing site, and we can’t help but wonder if she was curating a side-bangs board before emerging in her latest hairstyle.
In case you hadn’t noticed, Rihanna has really been feeling the deep side part lately, like at her recent Fenty Hair launch party at Selfridges London; her hair literally couldn’t be parted any more deeply while out and about during New York Fashion Week. And it seems this look may be a gateway to side bangs because Rihanna was seen out in New York City with A$AP Rocky on Thursday night with fabulously slanted fringe topping off her long, straight, shiny, darkest-brown hair.
However, unlike a lot of heavy side bangs that don’t reach beyond the eyebrows, Rihanna’s are rather long and, thus, obstructing her view, sometimes over both eyes. Factor in that she was also wearing dark Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses—at night, no less—and I’m not entirely sure how she was seeing much of anything.
