Rihanna
If there's a style that Rihanna can't slay, I'd like to see it, and her recent appearance at the British Fashion Awards in London is proof of this fact. Sis showed up to receive the Urban Luxe fashion award rocking the f*ck out of a fresh set of Fulani braids styled by Yusef Williams and Naphia White, and her latest hairdo did not disappoint.
While her Fenty mint green satin mini dress, complete with a matching wrap, gloves, and choker gave us our entire lives, the star of the night were her perfectly crafted cornrows, proving that Fulani braids are coming for 2020 like they never left.
If you're eager to try out this dope style, check out these 5 ways to elevate your Fulani braids that will have you requesting a day off for a visit to your local braider:

Braided Ponies
