Even though she's been on the music scene since 2005, we reckon the past few years have been Rihanna's best yet when it comes to the singer's style.

From the sweet little cutie shaking her butt in mini skirts and layered vests in her Pon De Replay days to amping it up as the fiercest bae in all of music town in 2016, Rihanna's is known for taking chances with her looks.

Whether she's wiggling around NYC in a fishnet maxi dress or striding down a red carpet in crotch grazing patent boots, Rihanna nails badass dressing always. The Work singer is so into her street fashion she launched her Fenty X Puma collection in 2016, signing up hottest models in town Bella and Gigi Hadid to model it.

Need an injection of Riri-style 'tude in your life? Here are some of her finest-slash-fiercest outfits from recent outings to give you inspo. Rihanna, we bow down to your badness.
