From Barbados girl to R&B queen: how did Rihanna and her figure change?

From Barbados girl to R&B queen: how did Rihanna and her figure change?

And why she remains the standard of femininity and sexuality even with her lush forms.

This year Rihanna turns 33 years old. By this time, the searing beauty from Barbados has become a famous singer and built two successful businesses: she launched her own brand of lingerie and cosmetics. Over the years, not only her music changed, but also her style and even her figure. But one thing remained unchanged: both at the beginning of her career and now Riri remains the embodiment of sexuality and femininity.

The beginning of her musical career

Rihanna debuted on stage quite early: her first album Music of the Sun she released when she was only 17 years old. At that time, the girl was characterized by a slender, even fragile figure, which was quite consistent with the beauty ideals of the early 2000s.

Although the singer’s first album was sold in the reggae section, her music has always gravitated towards R&B. The same can be said for Riri’s style. Loose jeans with an ultra-low fit, short tops revealing a flat stomach, gold chains and large earrings – her first looks reflect an entire era in music and fashion.

Change of image and the late 2000s

Rihanna was steadily gaining popularity. Fans and admirers around the world were attracted not only by music, but also by the singer’s looks. While working on the third studio album, the girl decided to change her image to a more rebellious. Short haircut and black hair – such Rihanna could be seen in the late 2000s. Although her weakness for feminine images still made itself known.

First steps in the movie

Although at the beginning of her musical career, the girl appeared in the movie “Succeed 3: All or Nothing” as a cameo, she made her first more or less serious steps in the movie industry in the 2010s. In 2012, the singer took part in the filming of the action movie “Battleship”. After that, several times appeared both in secondary roles and in central roles – for example, in “Ocean’s 8 Girlfriends” in 2018.

Already at this time, Riri’s figure begins to change. She no longer looks like a fragile teenager: her forms become more feminine, and images – more daring. Perhaps during this period the singer has the most athletic form – even on the photos from the red carpet you can see the relief abs.

Own business and recognizable image

In 2017, Rihanna decided to launch her own brand of cosmetics Fenty Beauty – it immediately gained wide popularity, since it focused on people not only with a light skin color. The girl by this time had noticeably gained weight, but it did not spoil her appearance at all. What is only worth her legendary appearance in a red dress at the premiere of “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets” – in the movie she played one of the minor roles.

Now the singer remains in the body and yet continues to surprise fans with stylish images and spicy photo shoots – including for her own brand of lingerie. Rihanna herself admitted in an interview that because of the gained weight she had problems with self-esteem and for some time was even afraid to leave the house. But it seems to us, such worries are in vain. At the age of 33, Riri looks great, does not change herself and her style.
