With millions of followers on Instagram and countless inspiring styles, Rihanna's fashion sense is worth either imitating or at least observing. We've chosen 10 iconic outfits that we believe should be recorded in the history of fashion!
Rihanna's style has changed a lot over the last decade. From a size XS girl who tried to please everyone and looked like a high school student from a typical American school for wealthy students, she transformed into a confident woman who significantly rounded out her figure.
Currently, Rihanna showcases or hides the features of her figure depending on her mood and the day, without the desire to appear pleasing in front of the phone or camera. How is Rihanna's style presented today?
The styles we have chosen are quite fresh and fully capture her current image. We've divided them based on occasion (for an outing and in a casual version). How does Rihanna dress? Rihanna's Instagram is full of experimental cuts, shapes, colors, and forms. There is definitely a lot to choose from!
Rihanna – Outfits for Special Occasions
When it comes to any outings, the singer and her outfits always evoke emotions, expressed in thousands of comments and likes. Do you want to shine frequently? Get inspired by Riri. The star’s Instagram is full of interesting suggestions in line with current trends, as well as Rihanna's eclectic style. The star's Instagram is a mine of fashion inspiration, and we used it to select the most marvelous outfits.
1. Lace Weavings
A subtly yet sexily exposed body with a knitted dress. Riri, promoting the new body oil of her brand, wore such a mini and combined it with lace, tied on the calves stilettos from Bottega Veneta. With such an outfit, you will be immediately ready for the hottest days. Extra cooling will be provided by braided thin braids.
A pastel mint shade of green in the summer is it! The color alone seems to cool and relieve during the heat. A draped waist and hip dress with an American halter neck beautifully showcases Rihanna's figure features.
The star's outfits are complemented by accessories, including fashionable glasses with narrow frames, XXL hoop earrings, and ankle-tied shoes with decorations. The whole set definitely recalls the 2000s.

3. Gothic Queen
Can a girl from tropical Barbados become a gothic princess? Indeed! We provide a recipe for a successful, predatory, gothic outfit: a short velvet dress and delicate transparent lace.
The draped-at-the hips skirt is complemented by a lace body, a somewhat provocative black sports bra, and pearl jewelry. This is the best evidence that pearls suit not only mature older ladies. Other inspirations and ideas for pearl jewelry can be found in the article "Pearls - the most feminine type of jewelry".
This outfit gained the most interest during the MET Gala organized by Anna Wintour. No wonder: we don't see a living pope every day. Until now, he has only been seen in museums. An embroidered and encrusted precious stone dress with a detachable train and a modern, rock’n’roll-style jacket is complemented by a papal tiara and gray, modest compared to the rest, stilettos.
It is rare to see Rihanna in such an innocent guise these days, but this outfit has become a classic of her styles. A white dress in the form of an XXL bow is combined here in a modern and surprising way with a lacy, padded jumpsuit and large, crystal earrings. Another modern accent is the shoes - stilettos on straps.
However, work is not everything. What does the beloved by everyone Riri wear after hours? The artist's Instagram also surprises in this area.

Rihanna – Instagram Full of Fashion Surprises
The star's daily outfits are as extravagant, avant-garde, and daring as on outings, yet more relaxed and street-like. What should you pay special attention to? Here are 5 of our choices (even though it was hard to decide).
6. From Lingerie and Men's Wardrobe
It's hard to pick out a star who wears lingerie daily as well as Rihanna. The famous Barbadian's Instagram is bursting with photos of the singer in lingerie or with lingerie elements woven into her daily outfits.
Here, a lemon lace bra blends perfectly with an oversized gray jacket and a voluminous pleated skirt as well as white stilettos. What else do white shoes go with? Check out the article "White Heels: What to Wear Them With?".
7. Trashy Chic
It's from such outfits that Riri's image began to change. She was often criticized or misunderstood, even by fans. Experiments with layers, colors, cuts, androgyny, exposing and hiding the figure resulted in a completely new, more street-style, in which Rihanna feels great every day.
Coats, parka jackets, boyfriend jeans, loose T-shirts, animal patterns, saturated colors and controlled figure deformation – all of this also made her look younger, and thanks to this change, younger fans were drawn to her.
8. Rave & Psytrance Girl
Batik, blurred patterns, candy colors, glasses with colored lenses, bucket hats, and large jewelry – this is another version of Rihanna. The singer's outfits also refer to the carefree, problem-free life without major worries. Such outfits, with short dresses or elements of underwear and a swimsuit, are a nod towards her own origin, of which the artist is proud.

The camo pattern and khaki color are something you can often see on Riri "after hours". This is another inspiration of the star from her native lands. In the Caribbean (specifically Jamaica) such patterns and colors are very popular and are worn by followers of Rastafarianism, among others. Follow Rihanna's example and treat the oversized cardigan as a dress and complement it with flat-heeled slippers and a branded bag on your arm. Sun glasses in the most fashionable, rectangular frames will complement the whole.
Rihanna's wardrobe is very diverse, and it's hard not to notice her boredom or repetitiveness. Some things, however, remain unchanged. Riri is a maximalist when it comes to patterns, cuts, the number of accessories or decorative details. However, she also manages to surprise her fans and wear a minimalist dress, and to it, she combs her hair in a girlish way.
We prefer, however, this crazier, youthful version of the star – it seems more authentic and consistent with Riri's personality than typical and schematic Hollywood outfits for big galas.
