fashion icon and a fashion designer, she’s also the makeup queen
that started Fenty Beauty and it’s her we have to thank for 40
shades of foundation to choose from. But that’s her achievements,
let’s talk about the basics you gotta know about Riri.
1.
What Is Rihanna’s Real Name?
You
might know this talented woman as Rihanna or bad girl Riri, and it’s
pretty cool that she’s one of those celebrities that are known by
the first name and you don’t need to specify. Like can you imagine
anyone ever asking “Which Rihanna?” or “Rihanna who?”. But
just in case you wanted to know her full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
2. How Old Is Rihanna?

she achieved a level of fame that she’s known all over the world,

but she also holds 6 Guinness World Records.
3. How Tall Is Rihanna?
Rihanna
is quite a tall lady. She’s 173 cm, or 5 feet and 8 inches. Great

Rihanna
once said in an interview that she’s had the pleasure of having a
fluctuating body type. So we’ve seen her be really skinny and
lately, we’ve all been celebrating the thicker Rihanna. What’s
really admirable about her is that her confidence level hasn’t
changed at all, and there’s no reason it should. She says she
doesn’t stress about that stuff, she just walks up to her closet
every morning and thinks “am I having a skinny week/day or a thick
one, do I want bodycon or oversized. Crop tops and high waisted stuff
or cutouts?” That’s something we could all learn from Rihanna.
But if you must know today
she weighs 61 kg or 134,5 lbs.
