The queen of the modern mullet.
Throughout the history of hair, the mullet has always been deemed taboo. But if there’s one person in the entire world who can pull off this controversial, “business in the front, party in the back” hairstyle, it’s Robyn Rihanna Fenty. In a video posted on Instagram, the singer showed off her new mullet while modeling the Savage x Fenty Valentine’s Day collection.
But this isn’t Rihanna’s first time at the mullet rodeo. She’s been sporting it on and off for almost a decade. Talk about dedication! The mullet made its debut back in 2013.
Several other celebs have been rocking the mullet lately, such as Miley Cyrus (whose dad, Billy Ray Cyrus was known for his mullet in the ‘90s), Maisie Williams, Barbie Ferreira, and Keke Palmer. But we gotta give props to Rihanna for being the originator of the modern mullet.
