RIHANNA: BEST-DRESSED IN '07

Shall we thank the success behind her hit, "Umbrella" for Rihanna's sudden change in fashion?

In the past Rihanna favored sequins and a longer hair style but now she's a "Good Girl Gone Bad" but maybe that should be reworded to "Good Girl Gone Couture".

2007 has Rihanna in Herve Leger, Luella, Gucci, Catherine Maladrino, Dolce and Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, and Dsquared 2 .

Rihanna even walked down the runway for the first time for DSquared 2 Milian fashion show.

The public has taken noticed of Rihanna's style change as she's been on cover of "Allure", "Cosmogirl", and "Seventeen" magazine.

This accomplishment is not too bad for a "covergirl" that had us all under her "umbrella".

Rihanna is Obsessed-Hoopla's 4th best-dressed fashionista of 2007.
