Rihanna is NOT a fashion icon!!!!!!

GASP!!!  "What did she say?" 

Yes I said it and I'll say it again. RIHANNA IS NOT A FASHION ICON.

For one, she doesn't dress herself. She wears great clothes. Unlike Lady GaGa (who styles herself) or even Beyonce (who puts together her own tacky creations, hey at least she's doing it or her mom, whatever). Rihanna's STYLIST pulls those amazing pieces. 

How can I be so sure you ask. I don't know Rihanna, who says she doesn't pick out her own clothes?

Remember her pre-good girl gone bad?

Yea not so icony eh?

Yes, a person's style evolves, but come on! It's all packaging what you see now. The bob, the clothes, the black nail polish. The island pop princess thing clearly wasn't working, so they made her edgy and wa-lah!

And you know what? Even if she did dress herself, hell, even if she made the damn clothes herself, ICON? Really? That word is not something you just give to anybody. You have to have worked for it and have been consistently earning it for years! The 2 or 3 that Rihanna has spent dressing stylishly isn't enough to make her anybody's icon! 

When I think Fashion icon I think Jackie O, Josephine Baker, Coco Chanel.  RIhanna?

Beautiful-YES, fashion icon-NOT!!!!!
