Before 2015 ended, Harper's Bazaar released an article entitled "Secrets of Today's 20 Most Stylish Women". The post featured 20 different recognizable women that the publication deemed the most stylish of the year, all sporting some of their most noteworthy ensembles. The introduction of the post stated, "Every generation has its fashion stars—the women who exude chic from tip to toe. Here, a look at today's most sartorially significant ladies, from Dasha Zhukova and Alexa Chung to Kate Moss and Beyoncé."
Based on the introduction, I was utterly shocked that the mother of serving looks herself was nowhere to be found in the lookbook. That's right, ladies and gents, according to this writer, Rihanna did not make the 2015 cut. Which left me like
While the article was still nothing short of fabulous, I couldn't help but think that 20 different looks from RIhanna alone supersedes the flashy fits of 20 entirely different women.
For starters, had any of us tried to sport green from head to toe, or a pair of green track pants, we would likely end up looking like The Wiz in the worst way. Not a bag of money like Bad Gal Ri did.
She threw on soft pink multiple times in 2015, and she looked so adorably innocent that for a second I almost forgot how badass she is...
...until she turnt it up in the pink to serve us Princess Peach realness.
I mean, even Blue thinks Rihanna is poppin', and being that she is the seed of Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter her opinion shan't be taken lightly.
Rihanna is definitely responsible for starting the trend of celebrities stepping out in nightgowns back in 2014. But her nightgown game remains untouched. She can even slay in the scarf you use to lay your edges at night, my dear.
Rih basically wore some 2.0 version bantu knots in 2015 for her iD Magazine feature, which were a step up from the raw ones she wore in 2014 to the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Arguably no one has looked better wearing knots in public since Scary Spice.
And we simply can't forget that monumental day Rihanna took a trip to the Eiffel Tower. (How do I know this? Because whoever runs Rihanna's snapchat actually allowed us to see her that day, wearing this jaw dropping get up.)
You know those big long puffer coats your grandma buys you because it's cold outside and she thinks that you don't wear enough layers? Rihanna wore one. Now I wear the one that my grandma bought me.
And in case you hadn't caught on in 2015, she's not new to the fur game, she's true to the fur game.
Don't forget her fit for the Tidal launch. Your auntie, church treasurer, or school secretary could never.
And she even caused effortless buzz when she stepped out in a glamorous pair of fluffy slides that women everywhere cannot wait for Puma to actually (hopefully) drop!
