Rihanna is Vogue's cover girl for their “shape issue,” and she discusses separating herself from everyone else as well as her always-evolving style.
MTV News reports that the singer explained, “When I was fourteen and first started going out, I always wanted to be the opposite of everyone else.”
Rihanna added, “So I would go to the club in a polo t-shirt and pants and sneakers and a hat on backward, just so I would not be dressed like other girls. And I got desperate for things that weren't available in Barbados. I would cut things out of magazines. I was obsessed with creating a visual with clothing, and the way things are combined."
She continued on about how fashion is one of her biggest thrills, telling Vogue, “It's become more about taking a risk. When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that's a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that's the thrill in fashion."
Rihanna even credited her hair for inspiring a change in her music. "When I cut my hair, the whole sound changed, my style changed,” she said.
Her body is another part of her image that she embraces. "Over the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it's not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don't want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up," she said. "My body is comfortable, and it's not unhealthy, so I'm going to rock with it."
