I’ve been saying all year that Rihanna was way ahead of her competition in terms of personal style and trend setting.
It looks like BET was paying attention!
From BET.com:
Rihanna is the ultimate style icon. The girl knows fashion, but she never looks like she’s trying too hard. That’s why we’re honoring her as 2008’s Fashion Icon of the Year.
“Growing up, I wore my brother’s clothes, dresses with sneakers, or no shoes at all … I own over 100 pairs of shoes now.” (LINK)
Congrats to Rihanna!
