Hey Tessa/ ModernGurlz! If you are ok with video requests, would really love to see you analyse the style evolution of Lady Gaga/ Stephanie. Looking at how her fashion was a response to her s/a and her reaction to political or social attitudes. As well as of course her albums influencing her work. I think it would be interesting to explore how she became big with A Star is Born, and people 'took her seriously' when she didn't have the camp and outrageous costumes, but how the fashion was very truthful and helped to connect with the LGBTQ+ community and representing the troubles of being a woman. Showing the interesting point of how when Gaga reflected the Male and heteronormative gaze, she was more respected... hmmm... It would be a really great video to see! ❤️

Lmao "Lemme detach this little guy and put him in his pod real quick."

One of the things that stands out to me about Rihanna as a businesswoman is that her brands feel like extensions of herself. By showing for years how passionate she was about makeup and clothes, it felt so genuine when she ventured into those spaces, like it just made sense. It's that genuineness that makes her so likeable, instead of feeling like it's a cash grab, it feels like a passion project.

Beautifully, beautifully said.

I love how Rihanna has risen from strength to strength, and doesn't let anything stop her from succeeding. This is clearly reflected in her style.

She makes confidence the number one factor. Small or bigger or pregnant … it’s about confidence

Her red hair era was everything

I recently bought a wig that looks like the one from her Only Girl video. Just had to lol.

this is what i mean when i say Rihanna is the last IT girl! Not only is her fashion experimental but the influence she has had on people can't be denied. when she had that red hair, almost everyone followed her lead, when she got the tattoo on her chest and also when she shaved one side of her hair people followed. that's the true definition of an IT girl.

EDIT: also the Fashion Awards Swarowski outfit is just insane

the biggest fashion icon of the century!!! from her face to her outfit, she always serves a look! even when i think i found an outfit of hers i don't like, a minute later im like "nah she pulled this off" lol

One other artist that their style should be analyzed is LADY GAGA, she is very experimental with her fashions but to her FASHION is seen as a medium where she could speak in a different way and her style has become so diverse and I do think that she would be a great contender for this!

What makes Rihanna iconic is her Confidence in any stage of her life. One of the very few celebs who doesn't hide when her body changes and she embraces aging , she found style and she is unstoppable. That's why she's Iconic!

People can only dream to look as good in a pixie cut as Rihanna did

she is THE fashion girl, loved this one

I feel like hair in general was monumental for RiRi. It allowed Morph into who she wanted to be at that time. As a black girl it really does set the look. When you know what looks good on you and the right blueprints on what doesn’t everything falls in place to create that look.

It’s amazing how many past Rihanna looks still feel so HER.

I would just like to note that Rihanna's hair styles are clearly indicative of her style changes throughout the years, but that it also not that difficult for African American women to transition between hair styles. Braids, twists, wigs, weaves crochets, perms and heat treatment makes transition simple and easy. what impresses me is that she consistently kept these hair styles over these long periods!

Thank you, I find it super easy for Black Women to just switch it up. Rihanna was just None-Black People’s introduction to that, which shows you how segregated and how much people ignore Black Women (but would be happy enough to steal from them!).

I do genuinely appreciate both pregnacy fashion eras. Especially the first. She's right! Being pregnant should not restrict women's right to look however they want! So sick of the idea that mothers have to look a certain way in order to be acceptable.

It's so weird to me how people realize that now after she did it because I thought that's common sense😅

Her look for Victoria's secret show is a serve of the century. One big blogger in my country even said she watches this show before big events to gain confidence

One other artist that their style should be analyzed is LIL KIM, she paved the way for so many female artists and her looks she wore decades ago are still being replicated till this day! it's sad that CFDA don't want to give Lil Kim the fashion icon award even tho she paved the way for the likes of Rihanna, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga

How come you didn't mention Nicky? Like, she just ripped off the whole thing 😂

Her Rated R era needs to be discussed and praised more. Being a black emo girl seeing Rihanna with that haircut had me running to the salon and so many black women no matter the age went to get "The Rihanna look" Same with her Loud Era. The way i immediately went to the beauty supply for red bundles 😂 Like her looks and her hair will go down in history

Man, I don't know if it's just me, and she looks amazing in everything, but Rihanna glows in soft pastel colors.

As a non-american, i first really got to observe Rihanna's style around Unapologetic era, and the impact it had on teen me has been irreversible. Love this series!!!

Does anyone else remember the ‘Loud’ album artwork t-shirts from Topshop/Topman that every young man in the U.K. wore between 2010-2013?

It cannot be overstated how much badgalriri had a chokehold on my 2010-2015 personal style - the saved tumblr posts of the Talk that Talk era must have been through the roof. I LOVED her Coachella style especially because it could be replicated! Her weed bride Halloween costume will always be my personal Riri pinnacle 🙌 great job as always MG!

THE MOTHER. THE BLUEPRINT. THE ORIGINATOR. THE QUEEN OF FASHION.

The absolute and ultimate quote for her is "anything she put on her body is instantly amazing and perfect, and only Rihanna can pull it off EVERY SINGLE TIME!!" I love RIhanna so much!

I always liked Rihanna’s style. She can be beautiful without being trashy and it's crazy she's been around for nearly 20 years. I'm glad she's doing well with her Fenty company and being a mom. Hopefully, she’ll release an album soon, if not, then I will still support her.

I also forgot to mention about the whole Rihanna and Chris Brown situation, I’m glad Rihanna didn't get the Tina Turner treatment because if you watch any interview with Tina, especially after she left Ike, 90% of her interviews were all about Ike and you could tell how uncomfortable she felt.

I'm so happy you made this video!! I live in Barbados right now and I just visited Rihanna's childhood home last week! Its crazy to see the small house she grew up in compared to the beautiful resort home she has on the island now. Also the Bajan community loves her. I was listening to a local tell me how she usually comes home for Crop Over (a celebration for the end of harvest season but think like Brazil's Carnival style outfits) and loves to dance with everyone. He said that one time her body guard started to yell at people to back off and not get so close to her and she said "no these are my people, they would never hurt me." and shes right, the people here are so kind and while they love her and everything she has done for their nation, they don't swarm her or beg for autographs and pictures like we do in the US. They know when she's home and love to talk her with her but she still gets a sense of normalcy here and I can't imagine how refreshing that must be.

I will always admire how she knows she's powerful! A style icon all the way!

The "hot mess" notes during the sponsorship had me cackling.

This is such an awesome, in-depth video. I grew up as an alt Black girl and wanted to experiment with hair color. Rihanna's red hair and black pixie cuts were HUGE inspirations for me. It was such a helpful middle finger to the "Black girls can't do hair color or be emo" message I always got. Plus, I finally had a sample picture I could show a beautician lol.

There’s not a single Rihanna era that hasn’t influenced my style, my hair, my attitude. Rihanna is and will always be the blueprint.

Not you adding the iconic dance 6:13 😂😂

The most prominent yet understated IT girl of our collective generation. Every style era felt authentic even in her young budding years. Personal favorites include Good Girl Gone Bad, Loud, Anti, and her Fenti boss b*tch styling. Effortless, timeless and trendsetting.🖤

The yellow Met Gala coat has forever been so enchanting to me.

I got so excited when i saw this video pop up......i absolutely love my girl RIRI's style more then any other pop star.Thank you for this video Can you also please do an AALIYAH STYLE EVOLUTION PLEASEEEE

i’m not a fan but she’s an amazing artist, I love her confidence, her style that stills that “rihanna” thing, her vibes!!! is so 2000s ! she’s definitely an icon

As a RihannaNavy I will always admire her sense of style throughout the years as an artist, billionaire, Fashion Icon, ❤

Now THIS! This is the video i always wanted!

I'm so happy that Style Evolution is back! Love these videos. In my opinion, Rihanna is one a those celebrities that looks good in pretty much anything. Like, she can pull-off any outfit no matter the style, color, cut, fit, etc. She's that versatile. If I may suggest other celebrities for future videos, I think Lady Gaga and/or Ariana Grande have iconic and distinguishable looks/styles that have been evolving through the years. I'd love to see a Style Evolution video on these two.

HERSTORY CLASS IS IN SESSION. Please keep your devices on full volume so as to process everything that’s being said.

Rihanna was millennial’s Zendaya. I always was inspired by her style and confidence and she has some of the most beautiful skin I’ve ever seen.

Can you please please do Britney Spears in the future?? Her look has evolved so much since she first started 25 years ago!! I adore your channel and can’t wait to watch your new videos☺️

A power house of style who has been inspiring me since Tumblr days, incredible video!

Y’all did an amazing job with this video! Thank you thank you thank you!

Let’s appreciate how much effort were put into this video 🩷 excellent work, such a detailed analysis, I’m amazed!

Rihanna has changed and defined fashion in so many ways but the absolute power move of how she redefined what maternity style looks like is something I could go on about for hourrrrrsss

Such a great collection of looks, such inspiring style

Ooof! This was one of your best videos!!! 💜great job on our queen Riri!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

There isn't a look she can't pull off. Everything looks good on her 😍

Such a well put together video

Can we get more of these videos 🥹 I LOVEDDD every minute of this 💗💗💗

Amazing work on this video!! 👏🏾👏🏾 I am a huge fan on Rihanna’s style and I love that she continues to reinvent her image. I really enjoyed watching each era in a cohesive, chronological order. Also I loved her Rated R looks (shoulder pads included) with the honey blonde cropped hair. It’s one of my faves!

Thank you for this!! Rihanna is an icon!!!!! The outfits were so stunning i had to pause to appreciate multiple looks!!! Such a great analysis once again.. please continue this content.. love the work Please please do Ariana next video too

LOVED THIS!!! enjoyed evert second of it, thank you for taking your time to put this togheter and sharing it.

An actual sponsor that I’m genuinely interested, thanks moderngurlz! 🙏🏻😭

moderngurlz and rihanna in one video??? literally my two favourite things at once 😍

Thank you! I will teach my pre-teen daughter Rhianna’s great advice for listening to an always changing body.

how much work this must have been, thank you so much! :)

i love your work and this style analisis videos. This is great and it made me have a lot mmore respect for the amazing work rihanna has made in pop culture. s2

omgosh I previously requested this style evolution in one of your previous videos!!! either I can see the future or you read the comments ! lol NO MATTER THE CASE THANK YOU!!!

i can see how much work went into this video. good job girls

excellent video as always

Can we go one of these videos on madonna or Diana Ross next? Or since you mentioned Aaliyah I would love to see a video on her as well.

Thanks for the vid!

This video is so good 😍😍😍

that would have been so much hard work to produce this video! I am so grateful for your dedication and hope you get rewarded accordingly.

Awesome work

Rihanna’s style (especially her hair) was an inspiration to me since she did her first asymmetrical bob then pixie cut, even if I was too insecure to take the leap myself at that time. I love your analysis of her motherhood looks because you’re right, there’s an expected way for pregnant women to dress and I love that she pushed the envelope both times. I could only hope to have a sliver of her confidence one day whenever I become pregnant myself.

Great video💞great visual❤️great commentary. Love!!🌟love🌟love💞💞💞💞❤️❤️🙏

Love these style evolution videos! I hope you guys make more! Maybe one for Beyoncé or Aaliyah maybe

please can you make a bingeable playlist of the style evolution series? ty if you do ❤

I would love a Style evolution on Beyonce.I feel like when it comes to Stage outfits specifically there are few people who can hold up with her.The Destiny's Child era had so many gems as well.

I Cant tell you guys how much I wanted this video!! Thanks for the work you put on this videos!

My queen

got a little bit emotional watching this and having so many memories associated with rihanna throughout all of my adolescence. this made me realize how much she has really inspired me and so many others. i remember so many of these looks and the music videos too. she’s such an icon and i love seeing her personal style being so black and alternative at the same time.

My QUEEN

I was never really into pop or hip hop growing up but I have always admired her style. I think that says a lot about her icon-ness! Watching this recap and seeing her outfits and thinking wow I would totally wear that today is also evidence of that.

I have 3 words for this video: Oh My God!!!

Such an icon and inspo❤️❤️❤️❤️

a video i never even knew i needed! genuinely feel like rihanna's career should be studied by future artists for a millennia. I've always been in awe in her ability to adapt to the current market and remain relevant regardless of the current trends. she's a chameleon. with the consistent quality of always bringing her A game

YAYYY FOR THE YT ALGORITHM! Love me some Rihanna
