Refinery29 staffer Amber Kai (https://instagram.com/amberkaili/) is obsessed with Rihanna so we thought she be the perfect person to try this transformation — she even walked around the R29 Los Angeles office to show off her new looks.

Rihanna is arguably a red carpet favorite from her sick style, killer hair choices, and party hardy attitude. Plus, she is just so damn cool; which is why it was an easy choice for us at R29 to honor this R&B, hip-hop, reggae, dancehall queen (http://r29.co/2kCGd8Q) by recreating her most famous looks.

Even though our girl did not win a 2017 Grammy, she clearly had the best time with her diamond-encrusted flask, grinding on audience members, and Facetiming during the performances. Gosh, we love her: http://www.refinery29.com/2017/02/140577/rihanna-diamond-flask-grammys-2017
