The makeup industry went crazy when Rihanna introduced Fenty Beauty, and understandably so. There’s something for everyone – including males — with 40 foundation tones, lipstick tints ranging from pale to navy, and highlighters visible from space.
For example, Daniel Kaluuya, star of Get Out, attended the 2018 Oscars on Sunday night wearing, you guessed it, Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Foundation. The actor arrived dressed sharply in a brown velvet tuxedo jacket, black slacks, and gleaming shoes. But his bright, perfect skin was hard to overlook, due to his groomer, Amber Amos, who used foundation colors 480 and 490, according to the brand.
Rihanna is the queen of trend-setting. She’s always ahead of the curve as a pioneering musician, beauty mogul, and designer, so it’s no surprise that fellow celebs look to her for inspiration. Rihanna has been the best spokesperson for her Fenty fashion line’s cutting-edge aesthetic since its launch in May, flaunting giant raw denim jackets and fanny-pack suits. Her celebrity acquaintances and admirers have followed in her footsteps. Sonam Kapoor, the Bollywood leading woman, and supermodel sisters Bella and Gigi Hadid are among the early adopters, tailoring Fenty to their own style and demonstrating the brand’s adaptability in the process.
Fenty has made its way into the closets of a large range of models, musicians, and trendsetters in the six months since it’s been on the market, whether it’s Tracee Ellis Ross testing out a pastel suit on Instagram or Mary J. Blige rocking the sculptural Blockt Mask sunglasses onstage at this year’s Essence Festival. Here are a few celebrities that have recently been influenced by Rihanna’s bold sense of style.
