Rihanna Plays Berlin, Named “Style Star”

While Rihanna has been keeping herself busy with the European leg of her “Good Girl Gone Bad Tour,” the 19-year-old R&B star continues raking in the awards.

Most recently performing in Berlin on Monday (November 26), the Barbados native is named as Seventeen magazine’s “Style Star” in the upcoming December/January issue.

"In some ways, it’s the younger generation of celebrities who enjoy the most influence over the fashion world because they’re the ones willing to take the risks that inspire new trends,” tells Gina Kelly, Seventeen’s fashion director who helped choose this year’s ‘Style Stars’. All the people we picked are true to their own style.”

Talking about Rihanna, Ms Kelly tells, “I love her because she’s not like anyone else out there. It starts with her haircut. When she started out, it was long and pretty, but when she got the asymmetrical bob, she just started to break out - and then she got a cool new wardrobe to match her cool new hair.”

Joining Rihanna as winners of this year’s Seventeen Style Star award winners were Jessica Alba, Jordin Sparks, Vanessa Hudgens, Fergie, Lauren Conrad, Ashlee Simpson and Lil Mama.
