Rihanna’s Messy Bun Is Perfect for a Red Carpet Mom Moment

Mom life doesn’t stop, even when you’re walking the red carpet! Just ask Rihanna, who took her two sons, RZA and Riot, along as her dates for the premiere of her movie Smurfs—and wore the ideal hairstyle for posing for pics and chasing her kids around.

The singer and Fenty Beauty founder, who plays Smurfette in the animated film, wore her hair in a high, messy bun for a stylish contrast against her espresso brown Saint Laurent gown and leather jacket. Her dark hair, styled by Yusef and Naphia White, was pulled up and piled on top of her head in a loose, full bun, then pinned with plenty of pieces pulled out to add soft texture and movement. The updo of it all feels formal, but the undone finish keeps it effortlessly cool and totally Rihanna.

The bun also keeps her hair out of her face and off her neck, which is key a) on a hot summer day and b) when you’re hanging out with your toddlers! As previously mentioned, Rihanna brought RZA and Riot along for the event, where they got to meet a few Smurfs and pose with their mom wearing custom Dior. Baby number three—whose arrival Rihanna announced at the Met Gala—will join the family later this year.
