🎤 Coco Chanel vs. Rihanna vs. The Most Influential Fashion Icon on : Alright, let's begin the Coco Chanel vs. Rihanna debate on who is the most influential fashion icon! **Round 1:** **Coco Chanel:** Gabrielle Chanel, at your service. "Fashion changes, style remains." Darling, influence isn't fleeting popularity. It's revolutionising an entire way of being. I freed women from corsets, offered them timeless elegance and power. The little black dress? My creation! Did you invent the little black dress? No, you borrow it. You build upon foundations. Influence isn’t just shocking the public, it’s permanently changing how women *feel* about themselves and how they dress for the world. I laid that foundation. **Round 2:** **Rihanna:** Okay, Coco, first of all, RiRi in the building. Foundations are great and all, but what happens when that house looks kinda...stuck in time? I push boundaries, baby! My influence is on EVERYBODY! I made maternity wear *fashionable*. Fashion used to mean suffering – I am a bad gal comfortable in my own skin.I celebrate all bodies, all skin tones, and I show them that luxury and feeling good ain’t for some other fancy type of chick. Plus, Fenty Beauty CHANGED the makeup game! How's your shade range lookin'? **Round 3:** **Coco Chanel:** Gabrielle Chanel here again. Shade range is only skin deep, darling. Permanence is power. Yes, you've influenced what’s *current*, a trendy moment of showing skin while pregnant which will quickly fade but will my tweed suits fade into nothing and go ignored? The little black dress, like my philosophy, provides an endless versatility, like this debate proves it still remains today! You claim "everybody," but are you reaching those young ladies seeking real elegance that goes beyond seeking momentary trending headlines? Class will forever last RiRi. **Round 4:** **Rihanna:** Yo Coco, elegance doesn't pay the bills. It ain’t real if folks can’t rock it! I *democratised* fashion, I don't restrict them. Elegance don't exclude; it celebrates! I mix high and low, sweatpants with diamonds, and encourage women to wear whatever the F they feel like! That ain't trendsetting for a fleeting second, but empowering my sisters! Besides, Fenty Beauty didn’t just add a few shades – it set the standard *everybody* now follows. See my impact goes deep into industry standards where changes occur for generations ahead. Can you say the same? **Round 5:** **Coco Chanel:** Gabrielle Chanel returns. Democratizing is dilution, my dear. Influence lies not just in making things accessible but also setting an elevated bar, and teaching the rest of society where style resides. You speak of sweatpants and diamonds, of breaking rules. What rules did you break, RiRi? Those I shattered long ago with a liberated silhouette, a confident ease. My influence is the backbone on which those sweatpants are *styled*. Trend followers do not create. Do you consider yourself one? **Round 6:** **Rihanna:** Girl, please! RiRi back! I break the internet on the regular! Who do YOU think showed folks you can be powerful, rich, successful AND pregnant without sacrificing fashion. YOU liberated women from one box just to stuff them in another tiny square jacket that still says your rich while you dress like some rich snob. I showed folks comfort ain't poverty! Power is confidence, baby. You paved the way, I am breaking all that foundation you speak of! And honey I look good doin it too, you know its true. **Round 7:** **Coco Chanel:** Chanel again. "Good," like a common magazine proclaims with you upon the cover is not the equivalent to style that goes noticed, darling. Comfort is, in fact, sometimes poverty of thought and refinement. I presented options as true as yours - that does not mean all can be the style of my refined eye. You use influence to *advertise*, to build empires from which one has nothing that compares to substance; My creations remain in museums! And I gave women *self-respect* beyond fleeting headlines, through dressing stylish in my era. My clothes empowers generations. That influence is irreplaceable, and one of a kind in kind. **Round 8:** **Rihanna:** Girl, your style empowers by saying wear tweed so some billionaire man knows your down to earth for him.. like, its your fantasy and im all for you playing that but come on baby girl you knew what was what! I sell my influence for folks who think they have little say! I'm for all shapes, sizes, and bank accounts! My cosmetics changed the *world*. So yes. my influence is *advertise*, but if your lookin like what they telling you, im the chick selling it, because, its REAL girl!!! Like, wake up before I do! The real power of a dress, honey, is when they feeling hot in it. I see to that!! **Round 9:** **Coco Chanel:** Gabrielle Chanel at hand, darling, selling fleeting hotness, darling. An old one! Elegance isn't about the gaze of billionaires alone. It’s about projecting internal confidence outwards to which your product cant compare for a lifetime ahead! An image alone cannot give it. It endures. It speaks. Museums and vintage stores have a forever home for Coco fashion in generations! Timeless chic is my style so i always make the cut, because it lasts longer than headlines on a supermarket! RiRi , the real influence creates a desire to last from within one's core. Yours screams for an instant approval for you and them. And approval has an expiration date, **Round 10:** **Rihanna:** RiRi taking my last breath! Chanel, you influenced *what was*, and what I like to call history, to remain for future. History makes me laugh; because all that knowledge and beauty for who baby!!! I make fashion for NOW for the streets!!! My influence, my image will create a *legacy* of the culture to be followed.I made girls, boys and even elders that had doubts for years feel worthy because that is always stylish - honey is not an industry but an act from kindness. *That* is fashion! Coco - YOU just made folks look great and they forgot about your influence within seconds after, face it you influenced history to continue but had little hand for creating whats next!
