It's hard to believe Rihanna has been blessing the world with her distinctive voice, magnetic presence, and next-level style since the Barbadian singer emerged on the scene nearly fifteen years ago with certified bop, "Pon de Replay." Just like her expansive discography, Rihanna's eccentric style has evolved over time. The tastemaker always takes on the most daring trends effortlessly, consistently proving it's "ugly" until Rihanna decides it's not.

Even though the mogul has been busy building an empire with Fenty Beauty, she's still very much killing it in the fashion sphere. With rumors swirling that the Grammy-award winning artist will take on the luxury fashion world next, it's clear the singer's cultural domination knows no bounds. WWD reports that her first ready-to-wear collection could be released in tandem with her ninth studio album, expected later this year.

Until then, why not infuse Rihanna's fabulous style into your own wardrobe? Ahead, The Zoe Report rounded up some of the singer's very best looks, along with everything you'll need to recreate them yourself.

Precious Cargo

The utilitarian trend is still marching on, and Rihanna has been giving cargo pants, military-inspired outerwear, and camouflage her personal stamp of approval for some time now. If you thought khaki was dead, allow this tube top and wide-leg pants combo to convince you otherwise, and shop similar pieces, below.

Glitzy Accents

Ever since Rihanna showed up to the CFDA Awards dripping in Swarovski crystals, it's been pretty clear the singer is 100 percent here for sparkle. Even though she's pretty much the only person on the planet who can pull off a glittery naked dress, mere mortals can infuse a little glitz into their style with the right statement accessories. She didn't say "shine bright like a diamond" for nothing.

Ornate Detailing

Rihanna's carefully curated tattoo collection proves she's clearly got an eye for art, as does her beguiling style. This artistic set with embroidered jacquard detailing proves Rihanna's romantic sensibilities, which you can channel with a few artful, embroidered pieces below.

Wild Thoughts

Rihanna is just one of many style tastemakers proving the animal print trend isn't slowing down. The "Wild Thoughts" singer went all in with this iconic, head-to-toe snakeskin look, further proving her ability to do the absolute most and win every time. Even if you wouldn't dare take the trend to the nth degree as seen here, there are tons of pieces to consider to taking the look for a spin.
