Lahir di [[Saint Michael, Barbados|Saint Michael]], [[Barbados]], dan dibesarkan di [[Bridgetown]], dia pindah ke Amerika Serikat, dan menandatangani kontrak rekaman bersama [[Def Jam Recordings]]. Dia mendapat perhatian yang signifikan setelah merilis dua album studio pertamanya ''[[Music of the Sun]],'' (2005) dan ''[[A Girl like Me]]'' (2006) yang keduanya terinspirasi oleh musik Karibia dan berada di posisi kurang dari sepuluh besar di [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] AS. Album studio ketiganya ''[[Good Girl Gone Bad]]'' (2007), memasukkan lebih banyak elemen [[dance-pop]] dan membuatnya mendapat perhatian yang lebih besar, membuatnya mendapat status sebagai seorang [[simbol seks]] dan tokoh utama di industri musik. Single nomor satu internasional dalam album ini "[[Umbrella (lagu)|Umbrella]]" membuat Rihanna mendapatkan [[Grammy Award]] pertamanya, sebagai Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
Pada usia 15, salah satu temannya memperkenalkan Rihanna dengan produser musik [[Evan Rogers]], yang sedang berlibur di Barbados. Rogers dan [[Carl Sturken]] merekam suara Rihanna di AS dan kemudian mengirimkannya ke berbagai perusahaan rekaman. Salah satunya diterima oleh [[Jay-Z]], yang merekrutnya ke [[Def Jam Records]]. Rihanna dipengaruhi oleh [[Alicia Keys]], [[Beyoncé Knowles]], dan musik [[Karibik]].
 
Rihanna mengeluarkan campuran dari [[musik pop|pop]], [[musik dansa|dansa]], dan [[contemporary R&B|R&B]] di empat album studio berikutnya, ''Rated R'' (2009), ''Loud'' (2010), ''[[Talk That Talk]]'' (2011), dan album pemenang [[Grammy Award]] ''[[Unapologetic]]'' (2012). Keempat rilis ini menggabungkan eksperimen dari berbagai gaya musik dan konsolidasi kesuksesan grafik internasional Rihanna, ''Unapologetic'' menjadi album nomor satu pertamanya di Amerika Serikat. Album-album tersebut melahirkan serangkaian single yang menduduki puncak tangga lagu, termasuk "Rude Boy", "[[Only Girl (In the World)]]", "[[What's My Name?]]", "S&M", "[[We Found Love]]", "[[Diamonds (lagu Rihanna)|Diamonds]]", dan "[[Stay (lagu Rihanna)|Stay]]". Album studio kedelapannya, ''Anti'' (2016), menunjukkan kendali atas kreativitas artistiknya setelah meninggalkan Def Jam. Album ini menjadi album nomor satu keduanya di Amerika Serikat dan menghasilkan single nomor satu berjudul "Work". Di samping materi solo, Rihanna telah berkolaborasi bersama artis rekaman seperti [[Drake]], [[Eminem]], dan [[Calvin Harris]].
 
Telah menjual lebih dari 250 juta rekaman, Rihanna merupakan salah satu dari [[List of best-selling music artists|artis musik terlaris]] di dunia. Dia telah memiliki empat belas single nomor satu dan tiga puluh satu single sepuluh besar di Amerika Serikat, dan tiga puluh single sepuluh besar di Britania Raya.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/12203/rihanna/|title=Rihanna's 30 Top 10 UK singles|website=Official Charts}}</ref> [[Daftar penghargaan dan nominasi yang diterima oleh Rihanna|Penghargaannya]] termasuk sembilan [[Grammy Awards]], tiga belas [[American Music Awards]], dua belas [[Billboard Music Awards|''Billboard'' Music Awards]], dan enam [[Guinness World Records]].<ref name="auto">{{cite news|url=http://www.gobarbados.org/list-of-rihanna-guinness-world-records/|title=List of Rihanna's Guinness world records|website=Go Barbados}}</ref> ''[[Forbes]]'' memasukkannya di sepuluh besar [[Forbes Celebrity 100|selebritas dengan bayaran tertinggi]] pada tahun 2012 dan 2014, dan ''[[Time (majalah)|Time]]'' menobatkannya sebagai salah satu [[Time 100|100 orang paling berpengaruh di dunia]] dua kali (2012 dan 2018).

{{Quote box
| quote = Rihanna terinspirasi untuk mendirikan Fenty Beauty setelah bertahun-tahun bereksperimen dengan produk kecantikan terbaik—dan masih melihat kekosongan dalam industri ini atas produk yang tampil di semua jenis dan warna kulit. Dia meluncurkan sebuah lini kosmetik "sehingga wanita di mana pun dapat bergabung," berfokus pada berbagai warna kulit yang secara tradisional sulit dicocokkan, menciptakan formula yang bekerja untuk semua jenis kulit, dan menunjukkan warna universal dengan tepat.
