Rihanna was being honored in NYC by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) for her style. The
singer cemented her role as a fashion luminary by receiving the 2014
Fashion Icon Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Her
trophy was presented by Anna Wintour, the powerful Vogue editor, who
said that with Rihanna, "the point is to be audacious — even jaw-dropping or button-pushing."Accepting the award, Rihanna spoke of her origins in Barbados, where "I didn't have a lot of access to
fashion." But, she said: "Fashion has always been my defense mechanism." Even as a child, she told the crowd, she used to think: "She can beat me, but she can't beat my outfit."
"I can compensate for all my weaknesses with my fashion," she said, adding: "There are rules, but rules are meant to be broken." more photos below
