The 46-year-old actress said Ri is so impressed by her edgy sense of style that she begged for the chance to dress up as her for the day.

Brigitte said:

At the People’s Choice Awards, Rihanna came up to me and said, ‘Brigitte, can I just be you for one day? I’m like, start off bleaching that hair, girl! I always take it as a compliment I’m very proud of what I’ve accomplished. The ideas and trends that we created through the years influenced so many things.”

And it turns out that Umbrella star is not the only one who admires Brigitte’s style. Supermodel Cindy Crawford has once expressed her attitude to the Rocky IV star’s distinctive look.

She explained to DANSK magazine:

When I did the Herb Ritts shot where I’m covered in fishnet, Cindy Crawford saw it and went, ‘That’s what I want to do!’ Then she copied me. We did some shoots that were absolutely beyond, but to become an icon and make a difference you have to take chances.”
