Rihanna is 38 years old as of October 2026. She was born on 20 February 1988.
Rihanna moved from Barbados to global pop in just a few years. She then built a business empire. Her run of hits in the late 2000s and 2010s made her one of the best-selling artists of her era. Fenty Beauty launched with a wide range of foundation shades. That forced the beauty industry to serve many more skin tones. Barbados later honoured her as a National Hero. She has stepped back from music in recent years. Fans still wait for a new album.
