How Does Rihanna Manage to Make Even the Most Basic Ponytail So Sexy? — See the Photos

When it comes to makeup, personal style, music and pretty much everything else, Rihanna has the golden touch. If she wears it, it’s instantly a thousand times cooler — case in point, the basic ponytail she recently wore for a trip to Tokyo, which elevated the hairstyle from a simple pulled-back classic to something sleek and sexy.

The musician and Fenty Beauty founder was snapped during a visit to the famed ramen restaurant Ippudo looking beyond glam in a sheer, as-yet-unreleased Savage x Fenty slip over a black bra and underwear with a long black leather trench layered over the top, her dark hair pulled back in a slicked-back low ponytail to add to the private eye-chic vibes of her ensemble. Her edges were perfectly swooped at her temples, and while her eyes were hidden by a pair of chunky exaggerated cat-eye sunglasses, we have a feeling her eye makeup was equally sultry. Though you have to really zoom in to see it, Rih is currently rocking a black-tipped manicure. Oh, and is that the iconic Fenty Gloss Bomb on her lips? (If it lasted through a ramen dinner, it truly must be magic.)
