Covergirls...Rihanna Does In Style

Rihanna is as beautiful as ever in the August issue of In Style magazine. Since she came on the scene nearly three years ago, Rihanna had undergone a serious style transformation. She's gone from good girl to bad, and from fashion follower to trendsetter. In next month's issue of In Style, Rihanna dishes on her style, her tattoos, and what's next in her career.

This issue is all a about breaking entrenched rules of fashion and design. What are some rules you'd like to crush?
The idea of not wearing brown and black together seems so dated. The other day I wore a black T-shirt, black Nobody jeans, a brown leopard-print belt by Dolce & Gabbana, and brown Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, and it looked awesome. Also the rule about matching your makeup to your outfit. I do that on-stage, matching red lipstick to a bright red jacket or neon-pink eye shadow to a pink jumpsuit. And I also love to mix prints.

Can you talk about your style obsessions and how your look has evovled over the years?
It has evovled without my even noticing it. Lately I'm obseesed with Thierry Mulger. Some of my looks are influenced by him. Grace Jones inspires me. She is the most iconic woman ever, in my eyes. She has extraordinary style and she's fearless. I love designer Martin Margiela; Kanye West told me about him. I also like Dsqaured, Chloe, Zac Posen-- he makes flattering lines.

Obviously Rihanna knows her designers, lol. Of course being this into fashion, it's only a matter of time before Rihanna debuts her own clothing line. In the interview she says she's in the beginning stages of that, looking at designs she'd want to include.
