Rihanna's fashion sense has been on point since day one.

Rihanna attends Rihanna's Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4, Rihanna celebrates Fenty Beauty & Fenty Skin at Goya Studios, Rihanna attends Marvel Studios' "Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever" Premiere

I'm about to state the obvious — <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/tag/rihanna">Rihanna</a> is a fashion icon, and there are no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

She has given us so many legendary looks since rising to fame back in 2005 <a href="https://www.rihannanow.com/bio/">with the release of her debut album</a>, Music of the Sun. For example, her <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/naomizeichner/rihanna-showed-up-flawlessly-naked-to-the-cfda-awards">2014 CFDA Awards Swarovski crystal gown by</a> <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/naomizeichner/rihanna-showed-up-flawlessly-naked-to-the-cfda-awards">Adam Selman</a>...

This was one of the dreamiest Met Gala ensembles of all time, IMHO.

Or, her 2017 Met Gala <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliegerstein/rihanna-just-destroyed-the-met-gala-red-carpet-so-there-you">Comme des Garçons number</a>.
