Rihanna Outrageous Outfits

Rihanna is a master of many things but perhaps the most notable is her ability to make even the most insane fashion ensembles look cool. She also has a knack for making famously un-sexy pieces looking flaming hot, like when she recently stepped out wearing an anorak/raincoat as a mini-dress paired with sky-high heels.

On other occasions her looks have defied the commonly accepted definition of “sexy”, too—namely her foray into velour track suits, her infamous Balenciaga fur stole moment and the time she accessorised with a decorative fan.

Here, we round them all up.
