And if you study each one of her eras there was still someone before her who peaked... She just has the appeal of the public and the commercial success. But she's never really the trendsetter, just the one you remember.

EXACTLY! What i was implying!
She somehow manages to do it MORE SUCCESSFUL
but she did re-popularize the "Dance" sound with DSTM

Baby Boy (2003) was Dance Hall and dead at Deja Vu being Dance Hall 
The URBAN movement acts like Beyonce, JLO etc done it in the early 2000's
Kelis added the Hair Cut
Beyonce and Jennifer BOTH had the High Fashion in their videos and still do.
Mostly every artists has had a successful ballad. |
But Kelis was and is irrelevant to Pop Culture
and Rihanna's fashion consisted of 3 things "High" "Masculine" or "Gimmicky"
J.Lo never did it!
and Beyonce didn't step up her Fashion game till it became the "it" thing
i mean...

Even I can admit that the OP is exaggerating, but Rihanna is certainly a trendsetter that the girls here on ATRL, such as yourself, consistently try to deny.

Girl, Beyonce FASHION was everything and More in 2003 during her DIL era. Let's not. Fashion was the"it" thing in 2003. She made countless best dress list.
Beyonce is one of the reasons why Glam came back to mainstream.

Oops

I think we've established before that Rihanna is extremely well at following trends and popularizing them, rather than creating them and having other people follow her.

Well, it fits perfectly to Rihanna, I mean the first album cover, the Forhead + The Golden Sequence Top + The PINK lipstick + The apparent tracks of the weave... ALL KIND OF MESS
