Bodysuit Worn by Rihanna in the "Rude Boy" Music Video

This gold lamé, laser-cut spandex, foil stretch jumpsuit was worn by Rihanna (b. 1988) in the 2010 “Rude Boy” music video. The video was directed by Melina Matsoukas, who also directed Rihanna’s previous music video “Hard.” The single is from her fourth studio album Rated R (Def Jam Records, 2009) and pays homage to artists including Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, and Jean-Michel Basquiat while incorporating Dancehall, Reggae, and Raggamuffin musical composition styles. 

Barbadian singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, and actor Robyn Rihanna Fenty is the best-selling digital artist of all time. Originally signed to Def Jam Records in 2005, she has quickly found success as a singer songwriter. In 2021, she became a billionaire with the success of Fenty Cosmetics, co-owned with French luxury brand LVMH, and Savage/FENTY, a size-inclusive lingerie line. Fenty Beauty revolutionized the beauty industry with its wide range of shades for all skin tones. 

Besides her music and entrepreneurial endeavors, Rihanna is also known for her advocacy work. In 2008, she was named the official Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, with specific responsibility for promoting education, tourism and investment for Barbados.
