The most fashionable woman of the decade: Rihanna’s 5 style rules

Rihanna definitely has two superpowers: One, she promises a new album but doesn’t release it, and two, she creates trends out of everything she touches. A few years ago there was even a meme that went viral on the Internet with the phrase: “Rihanna is ugly until she decides otherwise.” This quote perfectly sums up everything bad girl Riri has done to the world of pop culture and fashion.

Thanks to her extraordinary sense of style, the singer manages to combine the incompatible, add accent accessories, proliferate with incredible charisma and look her best (and even more). She can easily wear over-the-knee boots with an Olympic top and pair a sexy top with baggy jeans.

How he does this is a question we cannot find the answer to. But we’ll try anyway today. Moreover, the reason is quite appropriate. Rihanna turns 36 today. We have collected five style rules for the main girls of our time.

Rule 1: Don’t be afraid to be sexy

“Can you imagine wearing a bra like this to the CFDA Awards? I would cut my own throat! And she almost did it because she was wearing a tight thong instead of a rhinestone-studded thong,” Rihanna says of her famous 2014 “nude” dress. And this phrase perfectly describes her attitude towards fashion and style. Riri proves with every look that you should not be afraid to be sexy. After all, as they say, sex sells.

Rule No. 2. Combine the incompatible

Who said that classic suits should be worn with pointed heels and sportswear should be worn with sneakers? Rihanna is protesting and we support her on this. The Barbadian singer expertly pairs her hoodie with lace-up sandals and wears heavy fur coats and baggy joggers. Why not consider this technique?

Rule No. 3. Don’t forget the details.

Details really make a difference. And Rihanna knows this better than anyone. Take, for example, the singer’s iconic look when she announced her first pregnancy. RiRi paired a 1996 Chanel single-breasted puffer jacket with Vetements jeans and accessorized the ensemble with chunky 1980s Christian Lacroix jewelry. She almost always adds fancy bags, funky hats, accent brooches and, of course, sunglasses to her look.

Rule 4: Check your boyfriend’s wardrobe

And when your boyfriend is A$AP Rocky, you can find a lot of cool things in your wardrobe. Feel free to borrow coats, sweaters, hoodies (classics of the genre), t-shirts and even pants from your boyfriend. The latter can be worn with an accent belt. In general, you should definitely not limit yourself to gender boundaries. Fashion is no longer divided into men’s and women’s.

Rule No. 5. Forget stereotypes

“If you are pregnant, society forces you to hide your sexuality. For example, you’re not sexy right now. I don’t believe in this and I knowingly wear things that I wouldn’t dare to wear before pregnancy. “The more cutouts and spaghetti straps, the better,” Rihanna told Vogue. In 2022, the fashion industry’s best bad girl showed how to wear asymmetrical mid-cut jumpsuits, provocative tank tops, miniskirts, see-through dresses and microscopic shorts. Images of pregnant Rihanna not only shattered stereotypes, they completely destroyed them. And we need to take an example from him.
