There are a lot of beautiful women in
the world and there are plenty that are sexy as well. There is, however,
only one Rihanna.
The pop singer has been called the “Sexiest Woman Alive” multiple times,
most officially when Esquire bestowed that title upon her in 2011. But,
why is she so desirable? What is it about her that screams “sexy”? Why
does most of the world seemingly want her?
Here are some ideas…..
She Doesn’t Care What We Think
Rihanna is as comfortable in her own...She Doesn’t Care What We Think
Rihanna is as comfortable in her own skin as anyone. Just take a look
at her Instagram posts and it’s easy to see that she’s not worried
about how people see her. The fact that she can look good whether she’s
trying to or not is part of her allure. Of course, it hasn’t always been
that way. On the heels of filming a part in Battleship in
2012, she told Women’s Fitness magazine, “You always find something
wrong, you always find something you’re uncomfortable with, and one
thing turns into another and you get embarrassed and self-conscious
about it. After a while, it was like, ‘What’s the worst that can
happen?’ and I just started being a little more daring with it. It was
just knowing my body is the way it is no matter what that helped me,
knowing that it is what it is under clothes or outside of clothes.” She
seems to prefer the outside the clothes option, but there’s nothing
wrong with that.
She Has Her Share of Celebrity Crushees
When the website Violet Grey asked Mad Men’s January Jones
who she would most like to go to bed with her answer was Rihanna. After
Shakira shot the video for their duet “Can’t Remember to Forget You,”
she gushed to Glamour, “Working with her was utopia. She’s the sexiest
woman on the planet.” None of that is a surprise to her BFF Katy Perry.
“It’s disgusting how gorgeous she is,” Perry told Rolling Stone.
“Anytime I introduce my friends to her, male or female, the ride back
always consists of, ‘What, does she drink the blood of virgins?’” (Of
course, Perry also told Elle Canada that her friend smokes a lot of pot
and doesn’t sleep… making her looks even more impressive.)
She Rocks a Bikini Like Nobody Else
Swimsuit models don’t spend as much time in a bikini as Rihanna does.
When the singer was her native Barbados’ Ambassador for Youth and
Culture, her role seemed to be more or less to show up all over the
island showing off her lithe body in an assortment of string bikinis.
She doesn’t always wear the entire suit, but who are we to complain?
She’s been photographed so often in the string swimwear that a Google
Images search for her wearing one returns results that keep going and
going… and going.
She’s Not a Victim
There is no getting away from the ugly incident that happened with
former boyfriend Chris Brown. The photos of the singer with her faced
bruised after Brown’s attack are an indelible image. Rihanna does not
allow that to define her, though. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey
last year, she stated that she has forgiven Brown and still considers
him a friend. Whether that’s a wise choice or not is debatable, but
showing that you won’t be kept down by a past abusive relationship
evokes a strength that is extremely appealing.
She’ll Change Her Looks if She Feels Like It
The singer’s skin glows and her green eyes sparkle, so there are some
natural elements to her beauty that are God-given. Beyond that, though,
Rihanna does what she wants. Her hair color changes periodically as
does it’s length and style. When she’s not naked or in a bikini, then
she looks equally stunning in a simple wrap dress as she does in a
formal gown. Heck, she can grab attention just by wearing jean shorts
and a tank top. If there’s a look that she can’t pull off, we haven’t
seen it yet.
She’s Not Fake
Besides being forthcoming in interviews, sharing her life (not to
mention her dates with Drake) on Instagram, and not trying to put gag
orders on her friends, Rihanna tends to stay true to herself in every
way. Even when she endorses a product, it’s something that you get the
impression that she actually likes. Case in point, her clothing
collections with River Island felt like the kinds of things that the
singer would choose for herself. Being able to keep things real, even
when you’re an international singing star, is sexy in a way that has
nothing to do with looks.
