2016 – The Year Rihanna Kept Her Clothes On

Compiled By NAN ET Editor

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Weds. Dec. 21, 2016: Let’s face it! Ever since Bajan star Rihanna burst on the scene, she has evolved from a good girl to a bad girl, having no problem in taking her clothes off and showing all off all times with little left to the imagination. But in 2016, RiRi seemed to have evolved again – into a lady as she spent most of the year with her clothes on and showing off a more refined and at times relaxed image.

February 2016

The trend continued with Rihanna covered from head to toe as she attended the FENTY x PUMA by Rihanna fashion week launch at 23 Wall Street on February 12, 2016 in New York City. That trend continued into the fashion show and even at the Brit Award in Feb. and at the 2016 MusiCares Person of the Year honoring Lionel Richie on February 13, 2016 where the Bad Girl only tastefully flashed some leg and cleavage.  (Photo by Kris Connor/WireImage)

She carried the look into her night out and into the lead up to the 2016 US election where she kept her locks but sported a Hillary Clinton supporter t-shirt in Manhattan on October 19, 2016 in New York City.  (Photo by Josiah Kamau/BuzzFoto via Getty Images)
