We know why you're here. Joining the list of admirers for our favorite bad gal? Thought so. I mean, let's face it: Rihanna is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to the looks she serves. Since the big announcement, we've been completely enthralled with the pop star and her maternity styles, which her dream team (makeup artist Priscilla Ono, hairstylist Yusef Williams, and stylist Jahleel Weaver) manage to execute seamlessly. But what's new?
It's time we round up our favorites with a complete breakdown, including makeup alternatives to try out from our 2021 Best of Beauty winners if your favorite Fenty Beauty products are sold out.
Pink in the City
For the initial reveal with beaux A$AP Rocky, Miles Diggs (also known as Diggzy) captured exclusive photos that ran exclusively in People. These snaps showcased Rihanna's subtle makeup look. The fashions, of course, are provided: bubblegum pink archive Chanel, a Christian LaCroix gemstone necklace, and distressed boyfriend jeans.
But we’re completely zoned into Ono's makeup job. Rihanna's lip combination is the striking moment here. We assume it's courtesy of Fenty Beauty's Gloss Bomb in FU$$Y, which is a sweet shimmery pink, plus a touch of Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter.
To achieve a similar look, a few alternatives we'd definitely suggest are L'Oréal Paris Les Nus by Colour Riche and Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish: Ultra Glow Highlighter, which both provide a similar shimmer in shades of that adoring pink shade.

Bold Lips in Black
On February 7, Rihanna's lips were doused with Fenty Beauty's Icon Lipstick in 'Board Memb'r' by Ono, with assistance from Yvette Evora while out and about. (You can see Diggzy's photo of that moment here.) And then again on March 1, Rihanna's burgundy stained Cupid's bow presented itself again, which you can see for yourself in the photo above.
During Paris Fashion Week, Ono and Agnese Rossetto kept things subtle again for a light and dewy beat. Rihanna was dressed prettily in all black, a lacy dress chosen by Weever with a half-up, half-down hairstyle of waves styled by Williams.

Light Glow With a Red Lip
The mother-to-be glowed at the hands of Ono assisted again by Evora for her launch event on February 11. Ono's standout products to achieve this look are definitely Fenty Beauty's 'Mocha' and 'Truffle' Match Stixs, and Cheeks Out Daiquiri Dip for blush. Although Rihanna's wearing her signature Killawatt in 'Mean Money', and 'Hu$tla Baby', another product to try is Patrick Ta Beauty's Major Sculpt Crème Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo, which gives a double effect in contouring and bronzing your skin.

Ono also used a black strip of eyeliner Flyliner 'Cuz I’m Black' to crush on the eyes. We'd consider Pound Cake Cake Batter in Maraschino Cherry as a great alternative for her use of the bold lip stain from Icon 'The MVP' lipstick to finish things up.

The Red Zone
With Valentines Day just a few days away from her Savage X Fenty store opening on February 12, we're met with much (more) to love with this bold look captured here by — you guessed it — Diggzy. Rihanna's custom red Alaïa look paired well with Ono and Evora's use of Fenty Beauty's Cheeks Out in 'Petal Poppin' blush, Flypencil in 'Cherry Punk', and Icon Lipstick in 'Motha Luva.' We'd consider another vibrant color by Lipsax with their Liquid Matte Lipstick in Selfie.

Lilac in Milan
Lilac was the choice of the evening for the Gucci show in Milan on February 25. Priscilla Ono, we can guess, used Fenty Beauty's Snap Shadows Mix & Match Eyeshadow Palette and another round of Gloss Bomb Heat Universal Lip Luminizer and Plumper. But if you're looking for a similar glow for the lips, the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss can definitely get the job done. At the after-party, Rihanna's flow of curls shined as brightly as her vibrant purple eye shadow.

At the Off-White show on February 28, the color of the night was peach. Makeup artist Tommy Napoli previously told Allure that the hue can "be a brightener for translucent undereyes or hyperpigmentation that appears blue or gray on the color wheel."
Not that Rihanna needs any help in the glow department, but that's a nice hack we can try the next time we have any dark spots we'd prefer to cover up. One product that can provide these great options in one makeup session is Live Tinted's Multiuse Stick, which provides variety for various skin tones.
