She’s a fashion icon, looked up to by millions of young women around the world, but Rihanna hasn’t always been so fashion-forward.
When she burst into the spotlight in 2005, Rihanna’s style was very different to the high-fashion looks she rocks today.
Baggy jeans were a staple, and were always paired with midriff-baring tops and sneakers and dresses were nowhere to be seen.
Now that she’s a style star, we’re sure Rihanna must look back on these looks and cringe.
