Let's talk about Rihanna for a second. The Barbados-born singer turns 24 today, and she's already accomplished so much at such a young age. She broke the VEVO record for most views, continues to sell out shows and rack up the #1 hits, and she recently became the best-selling digital artist of all time. Don't forget, Esquire also named her the "Sexist Woman Alive" in 2011.
But one of the things we love most about RiRi is her dope style. It's pretty versatile, with a good mix of sexy outfits and menswear-inspired looks. While she definitely gives us plenty of cleavage, she also knows when to put on a nice gown and dress appropriately. So, in honor of the pop star's birthday, we did a breakdown of her style. From her affinity for camo, to short shorts, to sneakers, to tattoos, check out 11 Reasons's Why Rihanna's Style is King.
camo
Camo
There's just something about a girl who rocks camo, and actually does it justice. Rihanna can wear the print on just about anything—hat, pants and jacket. She looks hot in those Bape camo hat and pants.
crop top
Crop Top
Who can resist a girl in a crop top? We know you can't. Seeing a girl's midriff never gets old, especially when she has hard rock abs like Rihanna.
leather pants
Leather Pants
Leather pants are the greatest invention next to, well, nothing really. There is no argument here. RiRi in spandex? Yeah, we thought so.
sexy tour outfits
Sexy Concert Outfits
From lap dances to fires breaking out on stage, Rihanna's concerts tend to get pretty wild. But even with all that going on, we just can't help but be distracted by her sexy concert outfits. How could you not?!
short hair
Short Hair
Sure other female celebrities have had short hair before, but none of them quite rocked it like RiRi. Let's be honest, she had pretty much every chick out there thinking they could pull off the hairstyle.
sneakers
Sneakers
While we love girls in Christian Louboutin heels, any chick who can wear sneakers gets a co-sign from us.
tattoo
Tattoos
Here's the thing about tattoos: sometimes, they're a bit too much and aren't particularly attractive on a chick. There are, however, a few exceptions, and Rihanna is one of them. She has about 15 tattoos, including the Tupac-inspired "Thug Life" ink on her knuckles.
short shorts
Short Shorts
As you may know, she recently moved to Los Angeles. The warmer weather in Cali means one thing: more short shorts. Yes!
tight mini dress
Tight Mini Dresses
Tight mini dresses have long been a trend amongst female celebrities. It makes them feel sexy and classy at the same time, and we definitely are not objecting. These pieces of clothing leave nothing to the imagination. So, we approve.
gowns
Gowns
It's important to dress appropriately for the occassion. This has got to be one of our favorite things about Rihanna's style. Despite the ridiculous amount of sexy attire she wears on a regular basis, she's very much capable of putting on a gown and looking classy as hell.
menswear
Menswear
Rihanna pretty much has this down pat. She's one of the few women who can rock menswear-inspired outfits and still look hot.
