MANILA, Philippines – It is no secret that pop singer Rihanna has made some outrageous outfit choices. But her fashion choices have certainly made a good impression on the right people – the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) to be exact.

People StyleWatch reports CFDA will be presenting the singer with the 2014 Fashion Icon Award, quoting CFDA CEO Steven Kolb who said, “We are proud to present Rihanna with the CFDA Fashion Icon Award for her impact on the industry as fashion’s most exciting ambassador in recent memory.”

Rihanna is known for making strong statements when it comes to her outfits – opting for loud colors or and unsual cuts. However, her edgy style isn’t confined to just her clothes. She is often seen sporting hairstyles that are worthy of a second look. From a fiery red mane one month to a blunt black bob, she can pretty much pull anything off.

In her last concert in Manila, on September 2013, Rihanna showed how a comfy all-white outfit can still show off sexy attitude. (READ: R is for attitude: Rihanna in Manila)
