When Riri first appeared on the scene she was totally innocent; the typical girl next door. The most that she would bare is a little torso. Here, Rihanna is dressed in a pink, halter neck, torso-baring top with a pair of baggy jeans and pink sneakers. Sure, she's having a minor wardrobe malfunction (showing us her undies) but, it’s forgivable because she looks so cute.

In 2005, the transformation to being more ladylike had begun. Riri pitched up for the MTV Video Music Awards in tight white jeans, a waist-revealing top and a glitzy waistcoat. She wore this ensemble with strappy heals and accessorized her look with chunky bangles and hoop earrings.
-
And then she started baring her legs but covered her stomach – it was still innocent wasn’t it? With her hair in curly waves, the singer looked dazzling in this short, glittery mini dress, open-toe black heels with minimal accessories, just wearing one big gold bangle. I like.

At the 2006 Billboard Awards the Pon de Replay singer stepped out in white. This time, it was a short, halter-neck dress with a plunging neckline. Sure, she was showing off a slightly sexier side, but was she going bad yet?
-
What a stunning dress Rihanna donned at the MET Costume Institute Benefit Gala back in 2007! The pop singer is wearing a flowing, white dress that features a beaded neckline, tightly hugging her chest. She also added a pair of black gloves and wore her hair in her signature (asymmetrical bob).
-
At the Grammy Award, the singer's style was more daring. She started revealing her darker side and shed a lot of her soft, girly image. I mean, Riri we all see that that dress is not cut out for you – it's just too sloppy for your curvaceous body. The only nice thing about it is the colour.
-
By this point, Rihanna was totally exposing her dark seductive side. A black leather dress? It doesn't get more hardcore than that.
-
Gosh, talk about a transformation! This is obviously after her break-up with domestic violence offender Chris Brown. Maybe going blonde was part of her healing process, who knows?
-
Performing at the Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam, Riri was sporting a very revealing jumpsuit. This is like contemporary Cruella de Vil on steroids.
-
Then, when structured shoulders were in, Rihanna donned this turquoise jumpsuit. Can I just point out that this is a look that Riri opted for when she wasn’t on stage. The only good thing about this ensemble is that it didn’t expose too much flesh!
-
Someone please grab a towel and cover this girl up! Here's Rihanna wearing very little with red lipstick and red nail polish. I'm pretty sure this is an outfit Riri wore after Lady Gaga entered the global stage. Are they still in a style war?
-
Rihanna appeared on the red carpet dressed in a red skirt and a grey strapless top. She finished off the outfit with grey heels and a red polka-dot scarf.
-
Is it me or has the bad girl gone insane – what is she wearing? For the Brit Awards red carpet, Rihanna donned a neon-coloured Christian Dior Haute Couture gown.
-
Looking so sexy yet so sophisticated at the Billboard Music Awards, Rihanna is wearing an all-white ensemble and the red hair just enhanced her skin tone. I like this a lot!

In a tacky turn of events, Rihanna took to the stage in granny pants, fishnet stockings and a chain belt. The good girl has undoubtedly gone bad.
