The Fashion Evolution Of Rihanna

by Ayanda Ngcobo

It’s flashback Friday, and who better to celebrate than style icon Rihanna. Let’s take a look at her journey through the ages, and why we will always look to her for wardrobe inspiration.

Look 1: Pon de Replay

Riri burst onto our screens with the catchy tune Pon de Replay where she rocked low rise jeans and a crop top…our love her for and the crop top started to blossom there.

Look 2: Punk passion

She slowly but surely started to break away from her innocent persona by channelling her inner rock star in an array of tutu skirts and army boots. This is also around the time we began to see her in skin tight liquid leggings and statements tees.

Look 3: Show stopper

Rihanna then turned up the heat and got hearts racing in leather. This shoulder padded dress and thigh high boot combo was the definition of fierce, and proved that she was not scared to set tongues wagging.

Look 4: Army force

Who else can pull off five trends in one look but a fashion icon? Rihanna slayed in army print leggings, a crop top, an oversized jacket, statement jewellery and monochrome sunglasses. Whew!! We can hardly deal with all the awesomeness.

Look 5: Barely believable

Never shy to show a bit of skin Rihanna turned heads and started a revolution on the red carpet in a plunging neckline and thigh high slit dress.

Look 6: Worldwide attraction

If you have not either rocked this look or seen someone who has then you live under a rock. Pencil skirt, sneakers and a baseball jacket is definitely an example of what the cool girl on-the-go wears and this look is going to be hot for a long time to come so do yourselves a favour and invest in each of these items.

Look 7: Ghetto fabulous

One thing we know for sure is that Rihanna is a trend forecaster. Of late she’s fully embraced all things oversized, denim and the 90’s look. If you want to get ahead of the rest we suggest you start to stock up these pieces before everyone else jumps on this.
