Is Rihanna Womanspreading her way into world dominance?

The year 2017  is definitely Rihanna’s year, and we’re just living in it. From Fenty Beauty, Harvard's Humanitarian of the Year award, the only correctly dressed attendee of the Met Gala, Ocean’s 8, the silencing of body shamers, the Barbados Crop Over festival outfit, a sixth ELLE cover (plus Dazed, Vogue Paris, Harper's Bazaar, Paper, and Vogue Arabia covers), it looks like there is literally nothing the #BBHMM singer  can’t do.

So how does one sit on top of the world? By converting the problematic manspread (shoutout subway riders!) into her own. You don’t have to stress yourself digging  deep into Rihanna’s Instagram to find dozens of photos of her taking up the entirety of where she’s sitting and often spilling out into the surrounding area. The #BBHMM singer  is Rihclaiming her space.

Womanspreading as you know it, is not a completely new concept. The hashtag on Instagram boasts around 1,632 posts, including one from supermodel Bella Hadid. But Rihanna seems to be the obvious foremother of the movement, hashtagged or not.

 There’s nothing more that we need to hear. Rihanna 2020. At least we already know what the image is going to be on the poster. It's her brand.
