Rihanna’s style icon is not someone your going to guess: the singer has revealed that her biggest fashion inspiration is Princess Diana! Rihanna believes that Diana always “killed it” (an unfortunate choice of words) when it came to her style and she says she loves all of her ensembles. She even thinks Di was “gangsta” about how she rocked her own personal sense of style and Riri says she gets plenty of inspo from her:
“You know who is the best who ever did it? Princess Diana. She was like – she killed it. Every look was right. She was gangsta with her clothes. She had these crazy hats. She got oversize jackets. I loved everything she wore.”
Di aside, Rihanna says Nicole Richie wins runner up as style icon #2 because she always looks good:
“Oh my God, are you kidding me? Nicole Richie. She p-sses me off. She’s so good.”
The singer also candidly reveals that she recently had to build up her confidence because she began to “fear” again and it was a struggle for a while:
“I had to regain my fearlessness because it did go away for a little bit. My mother said something to me a few years ago: ‘I’ve seen something in your eyes I’ve never seen before: fear.’ She was like, ‘No, this is not you.’ I just got back to being OK with myself.”
