Rihanna Reveals Her Fashion Inspiration And Her Admiration Of Princess Diana’s Style

As she’s about to debut her new reality show “Styled to Rock”, Rihanna sits down with Glamour magazine to talk fashion, style, and babies. 

Rihanna’s real name, Robyn Fenti, is used by those she considers friends. “When people call me Robyn, my head just flies around because I feel like that person knows me. But Rihanna, that tends to be people’s own [creation]. Robyn is who I am. Rihanna—that’s an idea of who I am.”

She explains her new TV show (set to premiere October 25th on Bravo),  “I felt like there were all these talented people in New York who had a very keen eye for style and design, but I couldn’t find them [to work with]. I get excited by discovering new designers. I’m obsessed with being first with everything in fashion.”

Rihanna reveals her best dressed list, “Oh my God, are you kidding me? Nicole Richie. She just pisses me off, she’s so good. But you know who is the best who ever did it? Princess Diana. She was like—she killed it. Every look was right. She was gangsta with her clothes. She had these crazy hats. She got oversize jackets. I loved everything she wore.”

Her mom inspired her love of fashion, “let me say, my admiration for fashion—started with my mom. I used to watch her get dressed. She was around my age right now, and she was so fly. So fly. I remember not even knowing how to do that because I was such a tomboy.”

The singer says kids are definitely in the cards for her, “One day I will have kids. I look forward to the day when I’m gonna be a mom. But I’m nowhere close. I don’t even have a potential baby daddy!”

Rihanna’s full interview will appear in Glamour, on stands October 8th.
