Some note seasonal shifts by changes in temperature, while others rely on solstices and equinoxes as the official marker of another year’s quadrants. Others, still, look to aesthetics—and one look at Rihanna‘s Tuesday Instagram is a sure sign that summer is near. The pop star posted a trio of captures showcasing a high-impact hairstyle and crochet-clad skin defined by its hydrated shine.

First came the series of flat-twists that gave way to a crown of diminutive Bantu knots, the ultimate in toppers. Effulgent touches of makeup—a bit of brightening shadow at the corners of each eye, a swipe of glass lipgloss—gave way to limbs showcasing an impressive radiance. The secret? Fenty Beauty’s Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream. “One thing bout #BUTTADROP , it’s gon give what’s its s’pose to gave!!!” captioned Riri, as if scrollers needed further proof. An assemblage of accessories, lace-up mesh pumps, and a graphic black and white manicure further punctuated the moment. Start moisturizing, all—summer is nearly here.
