Rihanna stuns onlookers no matter where she goes- and of course the BET Awards 2008 was no exception. She showed off her trade-mark short crop and turned heads with a hot new color. Her red-brown tone complemented her overall look and suited her complexion perfectly. This color will be easy for you to achieve if you already have darker hair, but it is possible if you are a blonde as well. Keep in mind that you are going to need to color your hair once every 6 weeks or so to ensure that your roots do not show through and that the color stays vibrant. Rihanna has kept her bangs in a side-swept style, which is one of her signature looks. This hairstyle will suit all hair densities, but straight or wavy hair will be easier for you to style for this look. This cut is best suited for those with a square, oblong, diamond, or oval face shape.

When it comes to your makeup application, a smokey eye with a bold lip, as Rihanna has done will look stunning! You can add false lashes to make your eyes pop more and finish off with contouring and highlighting your face and neck area.
