Rihanna was luminous in yellow at her Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Spring/Summer 2018 launch during New York Fashion Week in 2017. The beauty wore a banana-yellow Oscar de la Renta two-piece look — a knotted crewneck crop top and full high-waisted skirt with a tumbling hem and side slit.

When Rihanna goes to the Met Gala, she always brings her A-game. The singer wore a Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons gown dotted with scraps and petals of fabric with red gladiator heels that wrapped all the way up to her thighs to the 2017 Met Gala. She completed the stunning look with a sky-high bun and intense red eye makeup.

Rihanna rocked a gorgeous, head-turning ensemble to the 2017 Grammys: a custom Armani Privé crystal-embroidered tangerine crop top with a black silk organza plissé skirt and diamond jewelry.

Marvelous in mint! Rihanna arrived at the British Fashion Awards in London in December 2019 in this lovely pastel green satin minidress from her own Fenty line. When it came time to style the frock, she accessorized with matching gloves, a wrap, pointy-toe pumps and a thick, sparkly choker.

Rihanna brought glam, high style to Paris Fashion Week in 2015. She dazzled in a fierce bubblegum-pink Christian Dior coat dress with one plush fur sleeve and a printed neckline that she paired with knee-high patent-leather boots, a turquoise handbag and emerald and ruby statement earrings. Chic!

Rihanna was a beauty at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where she rocked a custom sheer red Azzedine Alaïa gown with a dramatic train and diamond bangles.

Rihanna proved she deserved her Style Icon award at the 2014 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City. The singer bared it all in a sheer, Swarovski crystal-encrusted Adam Selman gown with a soft pink fur shawl, bedazzled headpiece and nude thong. RiRi's only regret about the outfit? That her undergarment wasn't bedazzled. "I just liked it better without the lines underneath. Could you imagine the CFDA dress with a bra?" she said during a 2016 Vogue interview. "I would slice my throat. I already wanted to, for wearing a thong that wasn't bedazzled. That's the only regret I have in my life."

Rihanna brought sexy back (sorry, Justin!) to the Grammy Awards in February 2012. The fashion icon wore a racy black backless Armani dress with a plunging V-neck bodice and paired it with a gold clutch, black strappy heels and gold jewelry.

Rihanna looked red-hot in a sheer organza Elie Saab gown at the 2010 American Music Awards. She completed the look with dark red curls and gold hoops.

Rihanna truly outdid herself at the 2015 Met Gala, where she arrived wearing a jaw-dropping gorgeous yellow Guo Pei coat dress with fur trim embroidered with scrolls of flora. She paired the Chinese couture with a gold headdress and a gold choker.

At her charity Diamond Ball in September 2018, Rihanna rocked this show-stopping black-and-white Givenchy Haute Couture design. The turtleneck gown featured long sleeves and a mermaid-style silhouette that culminated in a sheer white skirt that showed off her pointy-toe white pumps perfectly.

Rihanna looked elegant yet fierce in a lilac tiered Armani Privé gown at the Brit Awards in 2016. The style queen paired the feminine dress with silver strappy heels and silver rings by Asprey.

Rihanna sizzled at the "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" premiere in London in 2017. She wore a red Giambattista Valli gown that featured a low-cut neckline, a high empire waist and off-the-shoulder straps. RiRi completed the look with red statement earrings and a matching clutch.

Rihanna brought Old Hollywood glam to the 2007 World Music Awards, where she wore an emerald-green satin mermaid gown with a classic red lip, gold jewelry and that "Good Girl Gone Bad" haircut that jump-started her style-icon status.

Rihanna shut down the red carpet the 2018 Met Gala while simultaneously executing the theme to perfection. That year's "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" theme inspired the superstar to sport this silver Maison Margiela combination that gave us sartorial pope vibes. Her collared robe dripped in jeweled embellishments and she accessorized with dark gunmetal gray Louboutins and — of course — a papal mitre, a headdress worn by popes and bishops, in homage to the Catholic theme, designed by Stephen Jones.

Rihanna took another fashion risk that paid off at the 2014 amfAR L.A. Inspiration Gala. The Barbados-born beauty wore a white Tom Ford gown featuring a sheer bodice with strategically placed purple sequins, a bold slit and cut-out detailing. She paired the dress with a white choker, thigh-high stockings and metallic purple heels.

Rihanna looked like the fashionista we know and love at her first annual Diamond Ball in 2014. The starlet rocked a dusty rose Zac Posen mermaid gown with dramatic off-the-shoulder sleeves and a train. RiRi paired the dress with a stunning diamond and ruby necklace from Chopard.

We'll never forget this custom Dior look! Rihanna sported this sleek white strapless gown to the "Okja" premiere during the Cannes Film Festival in 2017. The silk taffeta frock featured a full floor-length skirt that she topped off with a matching coat and tiny white sunglasses for a funky, fresh look.

Who else do you know who could pull off lilac sneakers with a dress? Rihanna looked cute yet fashionable during 2014 Paris Fashion Week in a checkered lilac-and-white Chanel Haute Couture dress with matching sneakers and an oversized pearl bracelet.

Rihanna dazzled in a sunshine-yellow tiered, ruffled gown at the 2008 BET Awards. She paired the chiffon dress with a silver necklace, canary-yellow earrings and a fierce cropped haircut.

For her charity Diamond Ball in September 2018, Rihanna arrived in this perfectly over-the-top Alexis Mabille getup consisting of a white lace bodysuit and an overskirt topped with a massive strategically placed bow. She added matching ivory sandals and some seriously stunning diamonds to complete this flawless look.

Rihanna looked lovely in a sheer black lace Stella McCartney gown at the 2011 Met Gala, which featured the theme "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty." She accessorized with a long, mermaid-esque side braid, emerald earrings, black platform heels and a black clutch.

Former MAC spokeswoman Rihanna brought a soft, feminine touch to the MAC Cosmetics-hosted premiere of "It's Not Over" in 2014. The star wore a pink-and-white checkered Altuzarra blazer and skirt with blush-hued heels and dainty gold jewelry.

Rihanna shined bright like a diamond at the Daily Front Row Fashion Los Angeles Awards in 2015. The pop star hit the red carpet in a stunning multi-colored sequin Moschino coat with a black fur collar paired with amber jewelry and gold bedazzled heels.
