Rihanna graces the cover of British magazine ‘Fabulous' looking positively radiant.

On the cover, Rihanna wears more natural and simplified makeup with red lips to match her fire-engine hair. Rihanna says, “I think I was ready for something new and loud and expressive,” of her trendy ‘do. Her body-skimming bronze dress with statement shoulders complete with braided detailing is to die for. But what makes Rihanna so hot is her oozing confidence -- the best accessory anyone can sport.

Rihanna is the queen of mixing designer with high street. Whether it be Topshop, [H&M](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-and-elf-cosmetics), Stella McCartney and Louis Vuitton, she always manages to look great and pull off a unique but trendy style that is all her own.
