After the success of 'Good Girl Gone Bad,' Rihanna must have walked into Def Jam's offices and demanded independence over her image because it wasn't long before she became a straight-up trendsetter. The Bajan beauty was always in a new look from that point forward...

In 2012, Rihanna returned to her roots -- well, what her roots were in 2007 anyway. The 'Loveee Song' creator dyed her hair black and had it chopped into a sharp pixie cut, revisiting that look. On the carpet for the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, she rocked a floor-length, body-conscious gown with the back cut out and a detailed tie in front...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Pharrell Williams is in a league all his own when it comes to his music and his style. Songwriters wish they had his knack for penning irresistible hooks in a variety of genres and his peers watch in amazement as he shows up to red carpets donning everything from streetwear to polished black suits. He's a man with many accomplishments under his belt and he has hip-hop to thank for his start. After

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...

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...
