Spot-On Style – Rihanna’s Style Evolution
In 2010, Rihanna threw all caution to the wind in regard to her wardrobe and it was all good -- she still wore what was right for her body and kept it interesting. One thing was for sure, no one would be rocking the same thing as RiRi on red carpets, or certainly not in the same way...
Pretty in Pink – Rihanna’s Style Evolution
In 2007, Rihanna truly stepped outside of what she had been expected to look like. In later years, the 'Pour It Up' singer admitted that her handlers were adamant about her not even experimenting with red lipstick, much less a dramatic haircut...
Lady in Red – Rihanna’s Style Evolution
In February, Rihanna hit the red carpet for the Grammys looking more like her 'Music of the Sun' self than ever.
Her hair was ombre-colored from medium-brown to honey blonde ends and spiral curled with a center part. She chose a flowing, red gown with a crossover top and a peek-a-boo middle...
Asymmetrical Improvement – Rihanna’s Style Evolution
Rihanna didn't hit her stride until her third studio album, 'Good Girl Gone Bad,' dropped in 2007. Up until that point the Bajan bombshell had been candy sweet, with long honey brown hair and a cookie-cutter mallrat uniform. The success of 'Umbrella' -- the lead single from the LP -- led to a major boost in sales...
Do It With No Pants – Rihanna’s Style Evolution
In addition to changing her image on the red carpets, Rihanna has become quite the risk-taking sexpot onstage and on the street when going from club to club. In 2012, she hit the stage at the I Heart Radio Music Festival in a shiny jersey and fitted cap, sneakers and, apparently, no pants...
Camouflage Sophistication – Pharrell Williams’ Style Evolution
When Pharrell wants to turn the "quirky" factor up in his wardrobe, he does so without a second thought we'd like to presume.
In December 2012, P showed up to a Moncler party in an outfit that blended his affinity for sophistication and his passion for keeping things funky...
Fresh Prince of the Boards – Pharrell Williams’ Style Evolution
In 2012, Pharrell dropped in to Bloomingdales for an event while reviving the spirit of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The producer appeared donning an olive green tee, Billionaire Boys Club shorts and Chanel combat boots, but the statement piece had to be his flip-top cap with "Liberation" printed on the underside of the brim...
Funky Fur – Pharrell Williams’ Style Evolution
It would be way too easy to look at Pharrell in this oversized fur coat and think "1970s Pimp," but this look is so much more than what can be seen on the surface.
Sporting a white button down with indigo jeans and polished black shoes is crisp on its own, but the addition of that funky coat gives the entire outfit some funk appeal...
Bow Tie Bangin’ – Pharrell Williams’ Style Evolution
In 2008, Pharrell made yet another turn in fashion, appearing at the UNICEF Reception hosted by Gucci in his best jacket and jeans. Customizing his own version of the three-piece suit, P threw on a velvet jacket with a powder blue pocket square, a matte vest and slim-cut jeans...
Squeaky Clean – Pharrell Williams’ Style Evolution
As "funky fresh" as Pharrell likes to be perceived on red carpets, he sure does clean up nicely when the situation calls for it. In 2007, the Star Trak co-founder showed up at GQ's Man of the Year festivities looking like a million bucks...
