When it comes to Rihanna and her personal style, which is, largely, about not giving a fuck, it's sometimes easier to just let the looks speak for themselves. Because her get-ups usually do. With a naked dress here and a naked dress there, the self-appointed bad girl marches to the beat of her own drum (in a pair of eight-inch Giuseppe Zanottis, mind you). So we can't tidily peg her aesthetic to one specific category. But what we can do (and what we love doing) is catalogue our favorite looks. (Well, that and dutty wining to "Work " at our desks, of course.)
In the slideshow ahead, you'll find what makes Rihanna tick: This includes everything from a Versace choker to a pair of Uggs. If it's distressed, oversized, dip-dyed, and/or covered in sequins, you can bet she's already worn it. See how in the 30+ images here, and then see if you can come up with any idea of what she'll do next.
Because a pair of jeans just wouldn't cut it.
