Rihanna, who grew up on a small island with limited access to fashion, has always used fashion as her personal power and protection. As she herself said when receiving the CFDA Fashion Icon of the Year Award in 2014: “I grew up on a really small island, and I didn't have a lot of access to fashion, but fashion has always been my defense mechanism. Even as a kid, I thought: they can beat me, but they can't beat my outfit.”

Following the success of Terry Newman's bestseller about Harry Styles, this new book offers a fresh look at Rihanna's fashion. Rihanna has proven herself a pioneer in fashion, music, beauty, philanthropy, business, and activism. With 135 million Instagram followers and as Forbes’ youngest self-made billionaire thanks to her Fenty Beauty empire, she has global influence.

Rihanna's personal fashion sense, from bold combinations of haute couture and streetwear to vintage and avant-garde creations, reflects her charisma and humor. As she said on the red carpet in 2014: “You will never be stylish if you don't take risks.” Her bold style choices have earned her a prominent place in both the fashion and music worlds. Sidney Toledano, Chairman and CEO of the LVMH Group, therefore calls her: “A fashion icon for today's generation.”

The book offers an overview of Rihanna’s style, from haute couture to her own Fenty empire, from political statements to casual fashion. It is filled with facts about her fashion choices and showcases the star's most acclaimed looks, with quotes from important designers. This book is the perfect gift for any Rihanna fan.
