Rihanna is undeniably a formidable force. The singer-turned-actress, turned-makeup-mogul, turned luxury designer is also recognized for her bold red-carpet choices, which range from her leading indicator off-duty attire to her beauty industry-changing Fenty cosmetics.

Rihanna’s style has inspired countless columns inches over the years, especially since she converted her love of fashion and beauty into the profitable Fenty empire. She’s just as likely to be found launching a pop-up shop in Paris or releasing a new jewellery collection these days as she is on stage.

Rihanna is undeniably her brand’s best ambassador – she’s rarely spotted without a Fenty trophy piece or two on her person – but she’s also happy to wear items that aren’t hers. She has a thing for cult labels (see her Bottega obsession), vintage Louis Vuitton, and off-the-beaten-path brands that the rest of the world is only now discovering.

Below, take a look back at some of Rihanna’s most memorable red carpet experiences.
