Natural hair will forever be that girl, and Rihanna’s recent celebrity sighting is proof. Today, the queen of hair transformation made a statement as she strutted her stuff through the streets of New York City with her glorious natural curls on full display.

Setting aside the straighteners, braids, and weaves for a second, Rihanna embraced her natural texture, and we are here for it! Her short tapered cut gives life, volume, and instant style.

Rihanna’s sighting, just days before the highly anticipated launch of her new Fenty Hair line on June 13, has sparked a frenzy of excitement. Cameras caught her leaving a New York hotel, and fans are eagerly speculating if she will also showcase her natural hair during her upcoming launch events.

Ri Ri paired her head-turning hairstyle with an urban chic street-style ensemble. Of course, it was a moment, too.

Despite warm summer temperatures, she wore a stylish black and brown natural fur coat over a light gray tank top with a deep ruched neckline. Under her tank, a black bra—which we presume is from Savage Fenty—was visible. The “Umbrella” singer wore oversized track-style pants to complete her fit.

She accessorized her look with large hoop earrings, a necklace, and dark sunglasses. On her arm was a gorgeous vintage black-and-white Louis Vuitton Alma bag with bold graffiti lettering.
