The images above are from the Rihanna 'Rock in Rio Madrid' Festival performance, in which the singer unveiled a new hairdo that looks curiously like that of Larry, Moe and Curly of 'The Three Stooges.'

Rihanna's [new haircut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hall-of-fade) is shaved all the way up the back and sides, and her [fire-engine locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/main-character-hair) are cut into a bowl that ends an inch or two above her ears.
