The singer and makeup bazillionaire was spotted going out to dinner this weekend, sporting long, honey-blonde hair:

She paired the look with brown ombré lips and a camel coat, looking more glam in a hoodie than I, a mere mortal, dare dream of:

For what it's worth, it seems that Rihanna has been lightening her hair for a hot minute now — compare her stepping out last month with her in May:

As Vogue pointed out, the look is similar to the style Jennifer Aniston sported at the turn of the century:

It's not the first time Rihanna has opted for a blonder look — you may recall her tresses in 2012–2013, her Unapologetic era:

After all, honey blonde has been popping up more and more on celebrities' heads over the past year:

In short, a wonderful time for me to have purchased permanent black hair dye!
