Rihanna names Princess Diana as biggest style inspiration

Rihanna has named Princess Diana as her biggest fashion influence, labelling the late royal's style "gangsta".

The Diamonds hitmaker was dubbed the new Diana earlier this year (13) by feminist writer Camille Paglia, who claimed the princess and the pop star share a "ravishingly seductive flirtation" with the media.

Rihanna has now revealed the Princess of Wales is her biggest fashion inspiration, telling Glamour magazine, "You know who is the best ever who did it? Princess Diana. She was like, she killed it. Every look was right. She was gangsta (sic) with her clothes. She had these crazy oversized jackets. I loved everything she wore."
