In a conversation with Vogue, Rihanna revealed that since becoming a mother, she no longer wants to have exposed nips and panties on the red carpet.
"It’s going to sound hypocritical because I did so much s--- in my life, I had my nipples out, I had my panties out,” the "Diamonds" singer admitted. "But now those are the things, I guess as a mom, and an evolved young lady -- emphasis on young -- it’s just things that I feel I would never do, or I’m just like, ‘Oh my god, I really did that? Nips out?'"
Her response is definitely different than her fashion regret from 2014 when she wore a sheer Swavorski crystal dress when accepting her CFDA Style Icon award.
"Could you imagine the CFDA dress with a bra? I would slice my throat. I already wanted to, for wearing a thong that wasn't bedazzled. That's the only regret I have in my life," Rihanna said at the time.
Rihanna Teases New Music Amid Sharing Her Biggest Fashion Regrets
Besides sharing her biggest fashion regrets, the Grammy winner teased that new music is on the horizon. In an Entertainment Tonight red carpet interview from her event, the singer said, "I already got stuff that I feel like I can make hits out of."
She added that she and her partner A$AP Rocky are "trying to figure out who is going to use what" as they've been helping each other out as they navigate their upcoming projects. She also teased that their sons RZA and Riot Rose might be featured on her upcoming project.

"My brain is working backward right now. I usually have the music first, and the music leads me into all of these visual opportunities, and now I’m having all of these visuals," she told the publication.
The singer also admitted that she doesn't have "songs for them yet."
However, she is hopeful that they will come to her, and it just might be that her process is different this time, adding that "maybe the visual ideas are leading me to the songs that I need to make."
Rihanna is a Grammy-winning artist, mother, and style icon. There's not a red carpet where Rihanna is not listed as one of the best dressed, if not the best dressed. What Rihanna has done to differentiate herself from her peers is tap into styling, which has gotten her honors to add to her towering music accolades.
Rihanna's Honors In Fashion
In 2014, Rihanna was honored with the Fashion Icon at the CFDA Fashion Awards. The award show honors stylists, designers, and trendsetters in the fashion world. That same year, she was also named the creative director of PUMA. She later took a step back in 2017 and then returned in 2023 to be the creative director for her
In 2015, she made history as the first Black woman to become the face of Dior. Fast forward four years later, Rihanna became the first black woman to run a major luxury fashion house with her own, Fenty. In 2021, she closed the venture as she focused on putting more capital into her intimates brand, Savage X Fenty.
In 2022, after having some of the most memorable looks at the Met Gala, it paid tribute to the singer with a digital statue of her placed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The statue accentuated her growing baby bump at the time as she was pregnant with her first son, RZA, with A$AP Rocky. It is also the pose she did for the publication's May 2022 cover.
"shut down the met in marble! what’s more gilded than that? Lol! Thank you @metmuseum and @voguemagazine for this historic tribute! y’all bad for this one!," she said on Instagram showing of the digital masterpiece.
Rihanna's Style In Business
The billionaire has meshed her reputation as a style icon and business mindset into one. She started Savage X Fenty in 2018. Since then, it has been a powerhouse for innovating fashion and performance-- another trait the singer has used to bring her two worlds together. All four volumes of the production (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023) have been nominated for In 2022, Savage x Fenty Show Vol. 3 won an Emmy for Outstanding Choreography for Variety or Reality Programming and was nominated for
Whether it's business, fashion, or just a date night streetwear look, Rihanna's reign is never letting up.

The Grammy-winning singer wore her signature bright red in a beautiful gown. The off-the-shoulder garment was form-fitting at the top and then flowed into a loose ballgown. She paired the dress with a bright red lipstick subtle smoky eye. Her hair was pulled to the back in a wet/wavy style. While Rihanna was not in the film, she was a star on the red carpet.

The top was an orange lace halter and the bottom was a long black draped velvet ballroom skirt. The style was very Rihanna as it showed off her iconic wing tattoo. She switched up her hair and wore effortless waves in an auburn brown color with reddish highlights. The singer was nominated for nine GRAMMYs including Album of the Year, and Record of the Year.

The theme that year was "Charles James: Beyond Fashion." For her top, the singer wore a white long-sleeved cropped blouse cut on an angle with jewels on the collar. In the same material, the singer opted for a long skirt with minimal ruched detailing. Her hair was in an updo and pulled stylized with waves for an effortless effect.

The theme of that year's Gala was "China: Through The Looking Glass" and from head-to-toe Rihanna not only stayed on theme but was one of the best dressed of the night. She wore a yellow gown with a high slit, jeweled embroidery and fur. She accessorized with a four-tiered gold necklace and diamond studded earrings. The embroidery was made into a headpiece which the singer donned with her iconic short red hair. While her previous year's look stayed more on the safe side but was still effortless, she chose to put her mark down on someone to keep their eyes on for the Met Gala carpet with this look.

For the 2018 Met Gala, which theme was "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion &amp; The Catholic Imagination," Rihanna head-to-toe embodied a queen. She wore a short bustier topped dress with black and white pearls all-over. The jewels were then copied onto her long coat which had puffed sleeves and a cuffed wrist. What made the look all come together was her take on a Pope's hat which also had the white and black pearls throughout. She accessorized with a matching clutch and black glittery pumps.

Rihanna looked as though she bloomed from a garden with her pink and blue petaled dress. The dress ever so slightly showed off a part of her midriff and had patterns of pink, blue, and floral throughout. However, her makeup alone could have carried any dress. The over the top pink blush from the apples of her cheeks, into her eyebrows and over her eyelids was a masterpiece in its own. She accessorized the look with with hot pink knee-high strapped sandals, a diamond encrusted watch, and top-knot bun with full bangs.

When you think of a memorable Rihanna fashion moment we have to bring it back to 2014 when she was awarded with the Fashion Icon award at the CFDA Fashion Awards. Rihanna wore a completely sheer dress from that was covered with Swarovski crystals. She cleverly styled it with a white fur shawl, diamond drop earrings, and crystal covered head piece and gloves. This groundbreaking look only adds to her status as an icon.
