Rihanna's Wardrobe
WennFebruary: With those saucy Italian Vogue shots just a twinkle in her eye, Rihanna began the year with this sweet and sophisticated Twenty8Twelve skirt, Chloé heels and a crisp blouse.
PA PhotosFebruary: Is this a case of good girl gone, er, good? Gucci poster girl Rihanna chose this ultra-pretty printed maxi dress for a pre-Grammys party.
PA PhotosMay: The cartoony sleeves might have landed her on the Worst Dressed lists, but we thought RiRi’s daring Dolce & Gabbana tux was a welcome break from the rest of the red carpet gowns at the 2009 Met Ball.
PA PhotosMay: Looking like a total bad-ass, Rihanna struts out of a New York hotel in these leather cut-out stockings and an ear-to-ear necklace. Cool or what?
PA PhotosMay: It’s shiny, it’s voluminous, it’s head-to-toe Louis Vuitton: what’s not to like? Rihanna rocks catwalk couture – including a fierce spiked knuckle duster by The Blonds – for the annual DKMS gala.
PA PhotosMay: Proving her fashion cred in a white Derek Lam trouser suit and leopard print blouse in New York. Something tells us SJP would approve...
PA PhotosJune: The pixie crop has become a full on buzzcut, so Rihanna plays down her directional ‘do with a sexy ALC dress and Preen blazer.
PA PhotosJuly: Taking her style tips from Karl Lagerfeld, Rihanna piles on the pearls with her Alexander McQueen jumpsuit and Maison Martin Margiela shoe boots at the London premiere of Inglourious Basterds.
Bigpicturesphoto.comJuly: Trying out prim and proper for a change, Rihanna hits NY department store Bloomingdale’s in this Charley 5.0 strapless denim dress and matching blue Louboutins. Try a twist of fuchsia lipstick to keep things modern like her.
PA PhotosAugust: White loafers? Really? Well, yeah! Ri pulls off a footwear choice the GLAMOUR.COM girls hoped we’d never see again – and actually makes it work. Loving the denim waistcoat and distressed skinnies, too.
WennSeptember: Stella McCartney thigh high boots, a directional knit dress and berry-stained lips; Rihanna ticks every trend box as she walks through New York this autumn.
Rex FeaturesSeptember: For one of the year’s biggest style events – Vogue’s Fashion’s Night Out – Rihanna pulls one of the year’s most memorable outfits out of the bag. This sexy, futuristic pairing of an Alexander Wang hooded dress with A-Morir Barracuda diamanté sunglasses and Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain studded ankle boots certainly scored our star column inches – and cemented her status as a style icon.
PA PhotosOctober: Taking a break from working on her new album, our style heroine hits the Vivienne Westwood show during Paris Fashion Week in these so-hot-right-now fringed, over-the-knee boots.
PA PhotosOctober: Looking cute in a tweed skirt and white bustier top at a Chanel show during Paris Fashion Week. She’s even got her manicured mitts on an über-covetable Chanel muff bag. No fair!
WennNovember: Rihanna makes like Cheryl Cole (who wore the very same hooded dress in her Fight For This Love video), and goes for a stripy Alexander McQueen number for an appearance on It’s On With Alexa Chung.
PA PhotosNovember: Ladies, meet our Woman of the Year! US GLAMOUR presents Rihanna with the annual gong, while we gave her extra points for this gorgeous Stephane Rolland couture mermaid gown.
PA PhotosNovember: Not for the faint-hearted, Rihanna bares all in this Lady GaGa-worthy cut-out jumpsuit for a performance at the American Music Awards.
PA PhotosNovember: Those 80s-inspired white heels aside, this really was one head-turning red carpet look from the queen of drama. Sparkly red eye make-up was the finishing touch to this origami fold Marchesa dress.
PA PhotosNovember: Another day, another jumpsuit for Rihanna, who wore this draped version to promote her new album, Rated R. Check out those Diego Dolcini spiky satin pumps – we’re in shoe heaven.
WennNovember: Taking the word ‘fierce’ to a whole new level, Rihanna rocked up to an album launch party in this risky, spiked gold dress by The Blonds.
WennNovember: Figure-hugging, bright and totally fashion forward, this Mark Fast dress had RiRi’s name written all over it.
PA PhotosNovember: While we don’t suggest you try this at home, we have to admit we loved the trouser-free combination of this Dean Quinn beaded blazer and fishnets Rihanna wore for an appearance on Good Morning America – our designer-loving diva ends the year on a high!
