This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Kent State chapter.

Bad girl riri has been killing the style game ever since her 2005 music video for “Pon de Replay,” where she first introduced us to her sexy tomboy aesthetic with her sequin crop top and baggy jeans. Now in 2017, Rihanna has managed to create a fashion empire with her collaboration with Puma for her Fenty X Puma line, famous for its creepers that sold out in less than an hour. Rihanna has always been a muse to the fashion industry and continues to leave us shook with her bold looks. Here are 15 of Rihanna’s best fashion moments

 

  1. Rihanna revealed her outfit for this year’s Coachella about two weeks ago on Instagram- a head to toe Gucci look complete with a rhinestone bodysuit and bedazzled shades. How were the festivities for Ms. Fenty, you may ask? Rihanna captioned the photo saying “I can’t go home yet, cuz enough people ain’t seen my outfit.

 

2.  For day two of Coachella, Riri replaced her sparkly body suit with a full denim ensemble from Matthew Adams Dolan. Staying with bejeweled elements, Rihanna added a crystal surgical mask and finished her look with a pair of over the knee white boots.

 

3. Rihanna’s cover for Paper magazine’s March 2017 issue #Break the rules stayed true to the theme. She gave readers a futuristic punk meets modern Harlem bodega look.

 

4.  Rihanna wore her own line and worked the cash register during her pop up shop in Los Angeles on April 19. Her collection for this season is described as Marie Antoinette at the gym.

 

5. Rihanna channels aviator Amelia Earhart with vintage inspired and utilitarian pieces for Harper’s Bazaar March 2017 Fashion issue.

 

6. Riri us gives some black swan teas in her somber music video for “Love on the Brain.”

 

7. Rihanna was a pink panther for her appearance on Good Morning America back in 2015.

 

8. Rihanna has never been shy about showing off her curves but she still managed to shock fans when she showed up nearly naked at the CFDA awards in 2014. Riri wore a sheer Swarovski gown and matching do rag that made her 2014’s most talked about fashion moment.

 

9. Rihanna’s gown  for the 2015 Met Gala Awards can best be described as royalty mixed with Little Miss Sunshine.

 

10. Only Rihanna could make pajamas in public look effortlessly chic. A few years later, the fashion industry caught on and now we can’t get enough of loungewear and comfy robes that day from night to day.

 

11. Rihanna went back to her roots and shed some clothes on the way at the 2015 Barbados Carnival.

 

12. All the guys wanted to be under her umbrella, eh, eh and all the girls wanted to raid her closet.
