Singer Rihanna has been showcasing her new hairdo at several recent awards shows and, I must say, I approve. I dare not even attempt to count the number of celebrities that have attempted and failed to wear straight-cut bangs (see: Mena Suvari earlier this year), so congratulations are in order for Rihanna. She has a very high forehead, which could have been problematic if she had cut her bangs too short. But leaving them to just sweep slightly above the lashes is absolutely perfect, because it emphasizes those beautiful eyes of hers.
If you're looking to emulate Rihanna's new cut, remember that it takes a lot of upkeep to look good. You'll have to constantly make sure that the length of the bangs is always uniform, because that clean line is essential.
