Rihanna is 38 years old and is the mother of three children.
A post praising her by saying that she “looks 22” ended up generating a different conversation. One user responded with something simple: she doesn’t look 22, and she doesn’t need to. She looks spectacular at the age she is.
The comment points to a pressure that still especially surrounds women: associating beauty with looking younger, as if getting older were something that had to be hidden.
Rihanna has changed, matured, and is now the mother of three children, but she still maintains the presence that made her an icon. Looking 38 and looking incredible should never have been contradictory things. ✨
