evolution of style: rihanna

i've never been advocate for being 'born with style'. if anything, i feel that style is acquired and developed, up to your own standards of course. so i decided to start a segment called 'the evolution of style'. the celebrity that represents this on a paramount level is newly-blossomed style icon, ms.rihanna. taking a look at previous pictures dating only back to 2005, compared to present day photographs...well they clearly speak for themselves. basically what she used to wear, i wouldn't be caught dead in. unlike what she sports today, i would choose to die in. of course, alot of props have gotta be given to her hairstylist and wardrobe stylist because i truly doubt she wouldn't have successfully mastered her present image if it wasn't for them. bedazzled pants and chucks? you've come a long way...
