The world’s favorite Bad Gal turns 32 today (2/20)! Rihanna is the gift that keeps on giving. She has blessed us with a phenomenal makeup line with Fenty Beauty, sexy undergarments with Fenty x Savage, an exclusive clothing line, chart-topping albums, newsworthy clapbacks, memorable fashion moments, charitable donations, and if we’re lucky, she’ll give us her long-awaited album.
In her 32 years of life, Rihanna has done so much. She’s made it very clear that she has no plans on stopping.
As she continues to dominate various industries, she’s still the person you want to watch on the red carpet. She’s a fashion KILLA! Who else could wear a doobie to an awards show and make it couture? If Rih Rih wears it today, the entire look will be copied faster than a Fashion Nova remake by tomorrow. She is truly a trendsetter.
