Rihanna’s Life in Photos

Charitable Queen

On Dec. 11, 2014, Rihanna hosted her first annual Diamond Ball. The charitable event benefits the Clara Lionel Foundation, an organization that “invests in climate justice initiatives in the Caribbean and United States and helps communities prepare for and withstand natural disasters.” It was named after Rihanna’s grandparents, Clara and Lionel Braithwaite.

The singer has also spent time working with DKMS, the world’s largest non-profit marrow donor center — to help raise awareness for the need for people to come forward to become donors.

Pretty in Pink

The songstress stunned in a pink Giambattista Valli gown at the 2015 Grammys. She went home with yet another Grammy that night, for best rap/sung collaboration for her hit “The Monster” with Eminem.

Hitting the High Notes

The “Stay” singer served as a key adviser to all the judges during season 9 of NBC’s The Voice in 2015.

Hostess with the Mostest

Rihanna served as one of the hosts for the “China: Through The Looking Glass,” the 2015 Met Gala. She wore a jaw-dropping yellow gown by Chinese designer Guo Pei, shutting down the red carpet to make her grand entrance.

Foray into Design

In fall 2016, the fashionista dove head-first into the design world. She launched her first ready-to-wear collection, Fenty x Puma by Rihanna, featuring upscale street style clothing for men and women.

Royal Reign

In 2016, Rihanna joined Prince Harry on his visit to Barbados, taking an HIV test alongside him on World AIDS Day.

“I was so excited to find out that it was so easy, and the results come back that quickly —you can find out literally on the spot, your status, and it’s very discreet,” the pop star said.

“The younger generation coming through want to talk about it, but there’s still that stigma. If us getting testing normalizes it and makes a difference, even a small difference, then job well done,” Harry said.

Beauty Icon

Following the success of Fenty x Puma, Rihanna launched Fenty Beauty — an inclusive makeup and beauty brand — in 2017. The brand was so successful it catapulted her into billionaire status.

Floral Bomb

Rihanna served hyndrengea fierceness at the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between” Met Gala in 2017.

On the Big Screen

After making her silver screen debut in 2012’s Battleship, the singer joined the fierce female cast of 2018’s Ocean’s 8. She also appeared in 2014’s Annie and two episodes of 2017’s Bates Motel, and lent her voice to Tip in 2015’s animated film Home.

“We all secretly wanted to be her favorite,” Ocean’s 8 costar Sandra Bullock recalled to the Associated Press of time on set with the singer. “We would be really relaxed and tired in the room, and then she’d walk in the room and all of a sudden we’d be like, ‘So Rihanna, Rihanna …!’ “

Pope Fenty

The fashion queen turned heads with this pearl- and jewel-encrusted ensemble at the “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” 2018 Met Gala. A replica of that outfit adorns her latest wax figure at Madame Tussauds New York.

Belle of the Ball

Rihanna looked fierce while attending the 5th Annual Diamond Ball at Cipriani Wall Street in 2019.

Love on the Brain

With things going well for her professionally, RiRi’s personal life followed suit.

In 2020, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that the billionaire businesswoman was in a relationship with A$AP Rocky after months of rumors. The two had been friends for over a decade before things got romantic.

The stars giggled their way down the red carpet together at the 2021 Met Gala.

Hometown Hero

The Fenty founder was named a National Hero by Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley in November 2021.

During a ceremony marking the country’s split from the United Kingdom to become its own republic, Prime Minister Mottley stated, “On behalf of a grateful nation, but an even prouder people, we therefore present to you, the designee, for national hero of Barbados, ambassador Robyn Rihanna Fenty.”

She continued, “May you continue to shine like a diamond and continue to bring honor to your nation by your words, by your actions, and to do credit wherever you shall go.”

Baby on Board

On Jan. 31, 2022, the nine-time Grammy Award winner revealed she and A$AP were expecting their first baby.

The couple was photographed out in New York City, where Rihanna debuted her baby bump while wearing a long pink jacket.

She also showcased her growing belly in an Instagram carousel writing, “how the gang pulled up to Black History Month.”

Cloud Nine

Weeks after the announcement, the couple looked over-the-moon happy at an event for Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin in L.A.

Bumpin’ Along

The soon-to-be-momma proudly flaunted her bump at an event celebrating the launch of Fenty Beauty at Ulta Beauty.

Hot Mama

Six months after welcoming her baby boy, the new mom looked fierce at the Savage x Fenty Show Vol. 4 presented by Prime Video.

“Rihanna loves being a mom,” a source told PEOPLE on the singer’s journey through motherhood. “She is obsessed with her baby boy.”

Parents’ Night Out

Ri & A$AP left their adorable tot at home and looked dashing while attending the 2023 Golden Globes decked out in all black.

Halftime Headliner

In September 2022, the singer revealed she would be the headliner of Super Bowl LVII’s Halftime Show in February 2023 via Instagram.

With no words or grande paragraph, the Bajan star posted a photo of her hand holding up a Wilson Duke football. She simply captioned the picture with a period.

The singer has only released one solo — Wakanda Forever‘s “Lift Me Up” — since 2016; her halftime show is giving fans hope for news of more music and a possible tour.

Regardless, they’ll likely be seeing (and hearing) her again in March: the single is nominated for a Best Original Song award at the 2023 Oscars.

Oh, Baby!

Rihanna made quite the impression during her 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show: not only did she float above the stadium on a suspended stage, but she revealed she’s pregnant with baby No. 2! The star cycled through a dozen of her hits and silently confirmed her exciting news in a red Loewe jumpsuit with matching breastplate.
