Rihanna debuted a bold new hairstyle just days ahead of the Met Gala this year.

The 36-year-old singer showed off her eye-catching bright pink tresses while modeling a casual ensemble and stepping out in New York City.

She was last seen with her hair in a straight, honey blonde style at her Fenty Beauty’s new product launch event in Los Angeles on Friday last week.

She left her long, luscious locks down to showcase the bouncy curls blowing in the wind.

This comes after she confirmed she would be in attendance at fashion’s biggest night and would be going for a ‘simple’ look this year for the Sleeping Beauties theme.

In contrast with her bold hair, the Fenty Beauty founder opted for a low-key, all-black ensemble.

For her outing, she bundled up in a zip-up hoodie, layered underneath a leather jacket and teamed with baggy sweatpants.

Standing out against her casual, dark ensemble just like her hair, she sported a pair of bubblegum pink rubber shoes.

Matching her outfit, she carried a black leather, woven handbag in her hand.

She also covered her eyes as she sported a pair of oversize, rectangular sunglasses.

She accessorized with tiny stud earrings and a dainty tennis chain necklace for a little bit of bling.

Presumably for the Met Gala, she also rocked a bright manicure to go with her bold hair.

The entrepreneur also appeared to be barefaced and wearing no makeup as she showcased her natural, radiant beauty.

Her new bubblegum tresses could be a wig as she hides her Met Gala hairdo ahead of the annual, star-studded event.

Just last week, the nine-time Grammy winner confirmed that she would in attendance at the highly-anticipated event this year.

During an interview with Extra, she also gave a subtle hint about the look she would be going for this year.

She told the outlet she would do a ‘simple’ look for the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,’ and the official dress code is ‘The Garden of Time.’

‘I’m actually keeping it real simple this year… It’s gonna come to what my makeup and what my hair is going to do,’ the Umbrella singer said.

Rihanna also added that she has narrowed down her options to two dresses.

‘Very simple-ish… compared to everything I have done, I am showing up for dinner!’ she quipped.

She also revealed how her style has transformed since becoming a mother. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their first son, RZA, in May 2022, and their second son, Riot, 15 months later.

‘When you become a mom, your style goes from “blah” to “let’s see what fits” to “I’m gonna be a bad bitch today.”

‘You’ve got to remind yourself sometimes that you’re still in there.’

The busy mom said she will be taking some time for herself on Mother’s Day.

‘Sleep, hopefully… sleep, and maybe I will get a bouquet of flowers…’ she revealed of her plans.

‘Whatever I’m doing for our moms, they really deserve the spotlight for Mother’s Day this year… They are literally holding it down right now while I am here and Rocky is out of town.’

The mother-of-two then addressed the ever-persistent curiosity surrounding her upcoming music.

‘It’s gonna be amazing,’ she told the outlet.

‘It has to be — that is the only reason it’s not out yet. If I’m not feeling it and I am not feeling like it represents the evolution and the time I spent away, there should be a show of growth…’

Rihanna released her last album Anti in 2016.

In the eight years since, she has released three songs for film soundtracks and nine features.

‘I want to play with it and have fun with it and show truly where I am at,’ she said of the new music.
