Rihanna’s Red Carpet Style Evolution: Pics

No one does red-carpet style like Rihanna. The singer is undoubtedly one of the most fashionable women in the world, and her wardrobe is only getting better and bolder with time.

Since emerging onto the scene with her hit song “Pon de Replay” in 2005, the Barbados native has proven to be fierce in her unique style choices.

In 2014, Rihanna turned heads in a naked dress by Adam Selman at the CFDA Awards and took home the award for Fashion Icon. “Growing up, I didn’t have a lot of access to fashion,” she said in her speech. “But… fashion has always been my defense mechanism. Even as a child, I remember thinking, ‘She can beat me, but she cannot beat my outfit.’”

Another winning moment came the following year when Rihanna lit up the red carpet at the 2015 Met Gala in a 55-pound, sunshine-yellow Guo Pei gown that took 50,000 hours to make.

Fast-forward to 2022, Rihanna took maternity dressing to new heights when announced she was pregnant via a paparazzi photo while wearing a pink Chanel puffer, which she left partially unbuttoned to expose her belly.

Rihanna and partner A$AP Rocky welcomed their first child together — a baby boy, RZA, now 2 — that May, followed by another son — Riot, now 1 — in August 2023.

However, Rihanna’s evolution into motherhood hasn’t slowed down her sense of style. Quite the contrary, as she continues to make a walk down the crimson rug look, well, like child’s play.
