NEW YORK – Barbadian superstar, billionaire businesswoman and National Hero Robyn Rihanna Fenty is known for her fashion prowess – but there’s one look she says she absolutely regrets wearing.

Content creator Ajay Porter, also known as Mystery Fashionist to his 98 000 TikTok followers, interviewed the Fenty Beauty founder this week and she spoke about her major fashion regret from the early 2000s.

“Oh my God, why y’all gotta bring up old s***?” the hitmaker, 36, responded when asked about her biggest style faux pas by Mystery Fashionist, who has also interviewed Cardi B, Kevin Hart and Adam Sandler.

“When I first started, and I was wearing like the baggy jeans, with the panties out,” she admitted. “What the **** was I thinking?” the Love On The Brain songstress asked in disbelief.

When the interviewer said the trend had resurfaced in recent years as Y2K era fashion has made a comeback, the mother of two joked that it is better left in the past.

Rihanna then broke down what she was currently wearing, and declared: “It’s called growth, y’all!”

Her current outfit included a Christian Dior jacket paired with Yves Saint Laurent pants, snakeskin boots and a studded black belt.

The hitmaker told the fashion guru that she can’t live without a good New York snapback, fitted vintage jeans, and her “little speedy croc LV-monogrammed bag”.

The Umbrella singer said she also loves to wear underwear from her wildly popular brand Savage X Fenty. 

Rihanna was a massive fan of showing off a peek of her underwear underneath ultra low-rise jeans when she first started her career in the early 2000s.

She often hit awards shows in 2005 and 2006 while wearing the style she now hates paired with ab-baring crop tops or glittering hoodies.

Since her pop music days, she has become a certified fashionista, known for her daring outfits on the red carpet and her signature street style.

Commenters loved her openness in the interview, with one saying that she “radiates good vibes”.

“Everything she wears looks good,” one complimented.

“She’s an icon, she’s a legend and she IS the moment,” another one of her fans enthused.

Now, Rihanna is regularly spotted going on lavish shopping sprees with her long-time partner, A$AP Rocky, who she’s been dating for almost five years.

The Monster singer and the Praise The Lord rapper share sons – RZA, two, and Riot Rose, 16 months.

She’s also swapped music for modelling in recent years, as she often strips down to her skivvies to promote her lingerie brand Savage X Fenty in buzzy ad campaigns.

Just don’t expect to see the nine-time Grammy winner pairing the undies with low-rise jeans anytime soon.
