Last night, the 2019 BET Awards were held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California where Rihanna presented Hip Hop and R&B legend, Mary J. Blige with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Not only was RiRi’s speech a reminder of Blige’s immense impact in the entertainment industry, but the singer’s red hair also reminded us of the 48-years old’s undeniable influence on black beauty. Mary J. Blige may be known for her signature blond tresses, but Rihanna made us reminisce to the early ‘90s when Blige also donned the hot hair color. Blige’s red hair was everything.

The singer debuted music videos for some of her hottest tracks while rocking the sultry tint including: “Real Love,” “You Remind Me,” and “Reminisce” just to name a few.

Crimson colored hair may be a popular beauty trend this summer, but our girl Mary showed us how to rock it first, proving just one more reason why she’s a living legend. See her legendary red-head moments below.
