At the tenth anniversary of Black Girls Rock!, an event that celebrates the nonprofit youth-mentoring organization by the same name, we were not only inspired by the words of pioneering women, but their beauty looks, too. Check out our favorites from Friday evening ahead of the show's airing on BET tonight:
Rihanna, honored in the rock star category, left her gown at home but made up for it with smoky, dark-gray cat eyes and jeweled hair accessories that pinned down her slicked-back, shiny mane.
R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan transported us to the '20s with old-Hollywood waves, gold-brown smoky eyes, and brick-colored lips.
Monica went full Bambi with fluttery falsies, and she kept her wavy bob frizz-free all night.
