Speaking to Glamour magazine, Rihanna said: "You know who is the best who ever did it? Princess Diana. Every look was right. She was gangsta with her clothes. She had these crazy hats. She got oversized jackets. I loved everything she wore. "And Rihanna isn't the first person to see similarities between herself and Diana.
