Beyoncé has descended upon Instagram with an album roll-out — every picture a testament to her limitless evolution as an artist. Her new album, Renaissance, sees her at her most visually daring — with a sky-scraping beehive-like ‘do sitting atop her head in a confession of love for her fans (The Beyhive) in one instance. A cascade of waves billows around her head like a caramel-brown halo in other photos, and washes of greens and red migrate to her lids and lips adventurously on occasion; but nothing rivals her ever-gleaming, drenched-in-silver lips as pictured in one of her snippets. Queen Bey just pulled of an unconventional wash of colour on the lips; and that opened up a Pandora’s Box of imagery for us. Here’s a lesser-known round-up of celebrities who’ve also played around with the wackiest of lip-colours with wild abandon.
From Aishwarya To Bella, The Most Daring Lip Colours Worn By Celebrities
Beyoncé
First — a stunning shade of silver as modeled by beloved Bey.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
This choice rendered the Internet divided in 2016 — with fans cementing the former Miss World’s look as iconic, and detractors likening the colour to paint that sallowed her skin. Regardless — the Guru actress debuted the colour boldly — and given her demonstration of looks at the recent installment of the Cannes Film Festival, the actress remains unshaken in her commitment to engaging adventure in her approach to beauty.
Rihanna
Rihanna debuted this look at the New York Fashion Week party in 2015 — given her years-old tryst with blue, it’s no surprise that the colour qualifies as a contender in Fenty’s range of lipsticks, but the story behind this look is a funny one. Rihanna’s MUA lined her lips with a glitter-studded (blue) eyeliner before filling in her lips with a deeply-pigmented blue lip-colour, and the result was ever-gleaming lips that caught light from every angle. The 34-year-old mother-of-one has also done greens and blacks in the past, and we stan!
J.Lo
Much of J.Lo’s prowess lies in her ability to pull off absolutely anything — and that she did. Back in 2013, the singer matched her nails and lips in the Live It Up MV — and while she looks nothing but stunning sprawled out over the beach in her yellow-lipped avatar, this colour isn’t as wearable IRL. But the 53-year-old made it iconic anyway.
Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner at eighteen wasn’t just a proponent of hues of blacks and blues drenching the lips in all of their goth-like glory. She was also the owner of Kylie Cosmetics — which led to her adding this scintillating shade of black to her range of lip-kits.
Bella Hadid
Gigi isn’t the only Hadid sister with an appreciation for purples. 25-year-old Bella Hadid just modelled a star-studded purple for her Dior campaign, and the end-result is resplendent.
Sara Ali Khan
Sara Ali Khan is knee-deep in the water wearing denim shorts – but that’s not the only thing that’s blue. The 26-year-old actress sported a very bold shade of the colour on the lips, and pulled it off. Meh — could we, mere mortals ever?
Are you planning on pulling a Beyoncé, and experimenting with any of these shades?
