Rihanna 2019 BET Awards hairstyle

Rihanna slays another look yet again, this time at the 2019 BET Awards hosted by Girl’s Trip actress Regina Hall. One week after RiRi sported her trendsetting burgundy box braids, she rocked an ultra sleek and shiny half-up baby doll style which she paired with an edgy leather ensemble. Her burgundy hair color is a departure from her signature jet-black tresses that we love.

The Don’t Stop The Music singer wowed the crowd when she took the stage to present fellow singer Mary J. Blige with a BET Lifetime Achievement award. Her longtime stylist, Yusef Williams (he’s also worked with new artist Lizzo), helped transform the Barbados-born songstress, helping her achieve yet another iconic lewk. Yusef shared in an interview that he based his inspo for her hair on what she was going to wear that night. He said, "It was black leather and I wanted to create a contrast with her beautiful burgundy hair so I went for a feminine hairstyle."

He explained, "For tonight’s look, Rihanna wanted to look very pretty. We were working with her beautiful burgundy hair, so I wanted to really feature the bold color and let it speak for itself!
