Rihanna quickly became a fashion icon not long after the artist and entrepreneur skyrocketed to fame in the early aughts. Over the course of the last several years, the Savage x Fenty founder cemented herself as a global style icon, setting trends, refurbishing classic styles and making every red carpet she walks her own personal runway.
Among some of Rihanna’s standout looks, her Met Gala attire always seems to crack the best of the best. In 2023, the “Needed Me” singer styled a white dress courtesy of Valentino Haute Couture. The white silk gown featured a coordinated cape with giant camellia appliqués.
Whether it’s a red carpet event, onstage performing or another Met Gala moment, Rihanna is in a league all her own. Ahead, see more of her best fashion moments through the years.
