Stylist Ursula Stephen Weighs In On Rihanna’s AMA Doobie

December 1, 2013. 1 Comment

Rihanna made a big statement at the American Music Awards show on Sunday (November 24, 2013) where she wore her hair in a doobie, a wrap using bobby pins that’s predominantly used to protect and prolong the look of hair that’s been straightened.

Her stylist, Ursula Stephen, weighed in on the look and credited Rihanna with the idea. Stephen told Elle magazine, “It was actually Rihanna’s idea. She had her mind made up! Honestly, I was a little hesitant but I knew she could pull it off, so I was all for it.”

Both Rihanna and Stephen were aware the look would create waves. She explained, “I knew it would get a reaction but I wasn’t sure if it would be positive or negative. A doobie on the red carpet has never been done before so I knew it could have gone either way.”

At the same time, Stephen noted that wearing a doobie in public is nothing new. She explained, “I see girls on the street rocking them all the time shopping, eating; it’s just never been seen in a formal setting.”

As for critics who viewed Rihanna’s hair choice as showing a lack of respect given the setting, Stephen wasn’t having it. She stated, “Everyone has an opinion. However, the doobie has been worn to Bergdorf Goodman. They just haven’t been paying attention. And it’s been around since the ’30s. Part of my job is to know eras, trends and fashion, and to keep looks alive by adding a modern twist.”

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
