It seems as if everything Rihanna does, it becomes iconic in some way, shape, or form.

For example: Red hair. When she dyed her hair red, the world dyed their head red.

Example #2: Birthday Cake. Every since her smash "Birthday Cake" everyone sees the word 'cake' as a sexy, seductive word, as to where a few years ago, it was just seen as a delicious desert.
Followup example: Gaga. This whole "Cake like Gaga" project, was most def. inspired by Birthday Cake.

So what's your opinion?
Is Rihanna iconic?

Nope

Of course

Many people and artists look up to her and try to imitate her success to the best of their ability

In this stage of her career no, but she will be one definitly in the future. Everything from her fashion style (especially during the GGGB era) to music videos to personal life issues to songs such as "Umbrella" have really been popular.

Idk, she seems like the only Pop star that has never done anything iconic imo.

That's not being iconic.

Yes she is

Umbrella is the nearest she is from 'iconic'.

Rihanna is an icon thus making her iconic. But the reasons you listed were unnecessary, as is this post.

I'd say Rihanna is very iconic, and so is her red hair, she WAS the red hair, everyone that did it after just looked like a cheap copy.

I don't even care and she's my #1. It's like I'm just happy her career is constatly going up and she's cementing herself as one of the crucial popstars of 21st ceuntry. Time will tell if the mark she left was iconic or not.

Umbrella is iconic

Yes, she's had a massively successful career

She is, but not for the reasons you listed.

Not really

She's on her way ... longevity will be the key.

Yes, I forgot that. And this hair is iconic too:

No.
