21 Times Rihanna Made 2017 Her Bitch

We'll prolly have to update this list in like 5 minutes TBH.

Raise your hand if your head is currently cold AF. It's prolly cuz of the many, many, MANY times Rihanna snatched your wig (and coins) this year.

1. Like when she got lit at the Grammys with a blinged out flask.

2. When she FINALLY dropped her very own makeup company Fenty Beauty and shook the beauty industry to its very core.

3. When she wrote back to a fan asking for a trans model in the campaign.

4. And when she revealed that her foundation had EVERYBODY covered.

5. When Makeup Forever said 40 shades was "nothing new" to them, so she clapped back in four simple words: "lol. still ashy. shook."?!

6. When Thickanna arrived at Crop Over.

7. When she lent her voice—and a ~lewk~—to the massive Women's March Movement.

8. When she accepted Harvard's Humanitarian of the Year Award in the most Rihanna way.

9. And when her Barbados hometown honored her with her very own street named Rihanna Drive.

10. When she had like a bajillion magazine covers, including two for Vogue Arabia, four for FADER, three for Vogue Paris, and three for ELLE.

11. When she did the damn thing as Puma's Creative Director by releasing FOUR critically-acclaimed Fenty Puma collections.

12. And when she reminded us that she doesn't just GO to the MET Gala, she IS the MET Gala.

13. When she teamed up with DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller to drop "Wild Thoughts" aka the hit of the summer aka the thot national anthem.

14. When she gave us those fire bars on Kendrick Lamar's Grammy-nominated track "Loyalty."

15. And when she made major music history without even dropping an album this year.

16. When she performed the striptease to end all stripteases in the movie Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

17. When she checked into the TV show Bates Motel as Marion Crane.

18. When she decided we weren't shook enough and dropped the shimmery, multicolored Fenty Beauty Galaxy collection...

19. ...The "OMDG it looks good on every-damn-body" red lipstick Stunna that adjusts to your skin tone...

20. ...And a line of 14 matte lipstick shades, like this bomb ass pastel number.

21. And finally, when TIME Magazine stated the what we already knew: Fenty Beauty is one of the best things to happen in 2017.

There's less than a month left until 2018, which is like a lifetime in Rihanna years. So keep this list open ended cuz she'll prolly do a bunch more boss shit between now and then.
