Is there anyone who seems to have more fun with fame, fashion, and all the assorted trappings that come with being a celebrity in 2019 than Rihanna? Beloved Rih also happens to be the recipient of our illustrious first place award for best Met Gala meme of all time, for, of course, rocking her gold Guo Pei gown and its massive yellow, fur-lined cape with a 16-foot train (just imagine what she would have worn, had she been able to attend last year’s “Notes on Camp” Met Gala.) Between her critically lauded fashion lines, Fenty x Puma, Savage x Fenty and LVMH-partnered luxury brand Fenty, retaining her title as one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, and a slew of high-profile acting gigs, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better icon for our age than the Bad Gal herself. But you knew that. Here, 5 things about the star that you probably didn't know.

1. Like many who’ve come before her, Rihanna does not actually go by her given name. The 27-year-old Barbadian beauty was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty. Her middle name is Arabic and means “sweet basil.” With her family and close friends, she still goes by Robyn. “I get kind of numb to hearing Rihanna, Rihanna, Rihanna,” she has told Rolling Stone. “When I hear Robyn, I pay attention.” (Also: According to Rihanna’s Instagram, we may have been mispronouncing her stage name. Turns out, it’s Ri-Anna.)

2. Rihanna might have her own music, beauty, and fashion empires, but she also has her own street. In 2017, the Barbados government renamed Westbury New Road—where the singer grew up—Rihanna Drive. Prime Minister Freundel Stuart led the naming ceremony, and Rihanna commemorated the occasion with a heartfelt Instagram post that took her fans down memory lane: “Westbury is more than a community, we're family!” she wrote.

3. At 15, Rihanna won her high school beauty pageant and was named Miss Combermere after performing Mariah Carey’s “Hero.” “I kind of laughed at these stupid pageants,” Rihanna told the Daily Mail in 2007. “But my friends at school dared me to do it, and my military training came in handy for learning to balance books on my head for the catwalk.”
