The Surprising Reason Rihanna Hires Lookalike Models

We all know Rihanna is extra, of course, in the best ways possible. And she may have bested herself in the extra department in hiring lookalike models, which is apparently so she can test out new eyebrow styles on the models before she commits to one herself.

Damone Roberts, a top celebrity brow artist, told Entertainment Tonight about RiRi’s brow secrets.

“Rihanna's so fly that she has a lookalike model come by your space and you try out different looks on the eyebrows on the model and you send pictures to Rihanna and she decides whether she wants to do it or not,” Roberts said.

Rihanna sent a model to Roberts in preparation for one of the Met Galas, when she was thinking about lightening her eyebrows for the event.

“So literally a lookalike model we trialed and tried and everything else until we got them perfect and we sent Rihanna the pictures and we heard nothing and of course two days before the Met Gala she's like, 'I loved them! You gotta fly to NY and take care of me!' and do them and whatnot, and of course Rihanna shut down the show!" Roberts said. "It was really, really special.”

Rihanna went with the eyebrow look, and it contributed to her unforgettable outfit in which she bore a striking resemblance to the Pope for the event themed “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.”

Now we know how RiRi’s brows are always on point.
