Queen of the charts, of skincare and of makeup, Rihanna is also a queen of style. For her big return to the stage at the Super Bowl on February 12th, Rihanna, in a full red look, proved once again that she is the queen of it all. It's the perfect occasion to review (and replicate) this star's exceptional looks of the past.

February 12th marked the date of Rihanna's big return. While fans waited with bated breath for the announcement of a new album, 7 years after Anti (her last work to date), they watched her mythical Super Bowl half-time show. It was a subdued show and fans were delighted to be reunited with Rihanna, the singer.

The strength of this 34-year-old Barbados native is her ability to transcend music. In her already 20-year career, Rihanna has built a real empire on the stage, in skincare and makeup, and also in fashion. Between her various albums, Savage x Fenty (her lingerie brand), Fenty Beauty (her makeup line) and Fenty Skin (her skincare line), Rihanna is both an accomplished business woman and a young mother with a son who is barely a year old. As a model for success and a source of infinite inspiration for fashionistas, Rihanna is a poster girl.

CASUAL BUSINESS WOMAN

Rihanna's secret touch? Infusing a little dose of street style into all of her looks. With a strong music career, inflected with dancehall and hip-hop, and her romantic relationship with the rapper A$AP Rocky, Riri (as she is often nicknamed) has undeniable street cred. And her looks rarely lack a hint of streetwear. A blazer? Yes, but worn oversized over a bare chest with ripped, baggy jeans to boot!

PRETTY RIRI

Juggling styles is child's play for Rihanna. Exit distressed denim and oversized tops, and enter full-on glamour. On the red carpet or in front of a step-and-repeat, Rihanna sometimes opts for very romantic looks, in soft pastels and shimmering satin. No matter what, Rihanna shines bright...like a diamond.

STREET CHIC ACCORDING TO RIHANNA

Our favourite version of Rihanna? When she wears street looks with a bit of chic. Wearing baggy jeans? Yes, but with a pair of slouchy, heeled boots. Riri's secret recipe? A hint of chic for a dose of street. In this explosive cocktail, she always looks like a queen!

And if she wears loose-fitting bottoms, she might pair them with a tight top, belted at the waist to twist the look.

SUPER BOWL RED QUEEN

Seven years after the release of ANTI, her last album to date, Rihanna's return to the stage was eagerly awaited. Each year, the Super Bowl half-time show is an event unto itself, for some, even more important than the match, and especially important when it features Rihanna. For this first performance in years, Rihanna appeared, flaunting a rounded stomach (as such announcing her second pregnancy) all dressed in red, the colour of the moment. In an oversized coat and open jumpsuit by Loewe worn over an undershirt and stiff corset, Rihanna proved that red isn't just a colour, it's her colour.
