This goes to prove that Rihanna serves look 356 days a year. It has be 31 years of iconic looks from Rihanna as she turns a year older today.

But on a serious note, Riri is not just a fashion connoisseur, she has been actively known to promote positive body image, especially in the recent years, after haters on the internet body shamed her for put on a healthy amount of weight. As she graced the cover of last year’s September British Vogue. In her interview for the issue with British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful, the singer/ makeupmogul got real about how it feels to be a woman so many woman want to be.  Rihanna’s comments about body image are so refreshing in the midst of the body image topics dominating the news cycle. It’s what she said that was truly the realist: “But, you know, it comes with a price. You want to have a butt, then you have a gut,” she explained. You’re speaking my language, RiRi.

Her comments and perspective to body image is so refreshing in a sense that their so real, no need for sugar coating. Our bodies are always changing, and the way they work often can’t align with the unrealistic body standards and ideals we’re bombarded with on a daily basis. Like the idea that you should have an hourglass figure, but somehow also have perfect abs and a non-existent waistline. Yeah, that’s not realistic for most people, and seeing an icon like Rihanna talk about the reality of a woman’s natural body was simply a treat.

All in all, 31 is the new 20. Happy Birthday Rihanna.
