Rihanna, Keke Palmer, Bia And Other Celebrity Beauty Looks Of The Week

Grab a plate, these ladies are serving looks.
Celebrity Beauty Looks Of The Week: May 3 – May 9

By Shalwah Evans · Updated December 6, 2020

After the gorgeous weather of this past weekend it started to feel like quarantine would simply end because the sun said so. It didn’t quite happen that way but the warm weather brought out the good vibes, and it made ladies and gentlemen want to get out their brushes, edge tamers, contour kits and array of lipsticks.

And our favorite celebrities were no different. They didn’t hesitate to serve lewks in their living rooms, backyards, and that little corner of the bedroom that seems to catch the best light in the afternoon.

It’s a joy to watch. Check out these industry beauties that set our hearts ablaze, and kept our fingers double-tapping this week.
