33 photos that show how Rihanna's style has evolved through the years

When Rihanna hit the scene with her immediate hit "Pon de Replay" back in 2005, she became a fan favorite. 12 years later and after many musical twists and turns, one thing has remained constant: Her fashion sense is always on point.

Rihanna has landed on hundreds of best dressed list thanks to her Met Gala, Grammy Awards, and MTV VMA looks, each one as stunning as the last.

See her epic style evolution, from start to finish: 

Rihanna stepped on the map at the Teen People Listening Lounge wearing a crop top and low rise boyfriend jeans back in 2005.

At that year's MTV VMAs, she wore another crop top and fitted white jeans. The ensemble was topped off with a glitter vest and body jewelry.

At one of her many MTV TRL appearances, RiRi wore a sweet halter dress with stars.
