Examples of Rihanna in a Sentence

1. Robert Watts:

   Rihanna typifies the seismic change we've seen in the Rich List in recent years. Once dominated by inherited wealth, the bulk of our 1,000 entries are now self-made people with modest and even troubled starts in life who are driven to work exceptionally hard.

2. Chris Rock:

   Jada got mad, Jada said she’s not coming, isn’t she on a TV show? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited.

3. Shakaila Forbes-Bell:

   We see safety orange, as it is titled, up and down the catwalks for spring and summer 2018 especially in the New York shows like Tom Ford, Calvin Klein and Rihanna's Fenty Puma.

4. Paul McCartney:

   We ended up just talking a lot, i played a few little things and one of them ended up as ‘ FourFiveSeconds ’ with Rihanna. It’s more a question of me feeling lucky that these people are interested [ in working with me ] and think that I can bring something to it. For me, I feel great. I like diversity.

5. Noel Duan:

   This whole exhibition was about celebrating the influence of Chinese fashion -- yet no one understood the significance of Rihanna wearing a yellow cape with traditional Chinese embroidery, it's disappointing but not surprising.
