Rihanna rocks short, curly locks as she graces the November issue of Glamour magazine.

In the issue, Ri Ri talks about her “admiration” for fashion saying, “My love for fashion — let me say, my admiration for fashion — started with my mom,” the “Pour It Up” singer said. She continued, “I used to watch her get dressed. She was around my age right now, and she was so fly. So fly. I remember not even knowing how to do that because I was such a tomboy.”

The 25-year-old also opened up about who she considers her fashion icons. “Oh my God, are you kidding me? Nicole Richie. She just pisses me off, she’s so good. But you know who is the best who ever did it? Princess Diana. She was like — she killed it.” I can totally agree with both of those choices Ri.

Rihanna then revealed the distinction between her stage presence and the girl from Barbados. “When people call me Robyn, my head just flies around because I feel like that person knows me. But Rihanna, that tends to be people’s own [creation]. Robyn is who I am. Rihanna — that’s an idea of who I am.”

She later talked about feeling “trapped” by fans and fame saying, “There’s stuff like not being able to walk around as I please. I feel like I’m being watched. Always. Like, I want to tan topless somewhere, and I know I probably could never do that. Even if I’m upstairs in my bedroom, and the curtains are pulled, I feel like a paparazzo’s outside on a boat somewhere or somebody’s peeping.”

But Rihanna has a handle on all the madness fame brings, “I can’t run from it. You can’t change who you are. It’s important for me to know who I am and work with that.”
