The New Elizabethans...
Who will be remembered down the years for changing the way we live and think, for entertaining and amazing us?
Rihanna...
I can't remember when Rihanna and I first met, but I think it was near a dance floor and one of her tracks was playing. The thing I remember was her being a normal person, not what you'd expect of a young woman about to take over the world. She's one of the coolest, hottest, most talented, most liked, most listened to, most followed, most impressive artists at work today, but she does it in her own stride. She works hard, very hard. She gives to her fans, friends and foundation not just herself but her energy and spirit.
Rihanna, 24, goes out of her way to support the people she believes in. She is one of the few people I know in that world of fame and celebrity who aren't all about themselves. She'll give a real part of herself to an ordinary person she may meet, and that's rare.
This is the beginning for Rihanna — she has so much more to do and to give. She is just getting going, so watch out. She's the Barbados ambassador for youth and culture, and she's coming to a town near you.

I found this paragraph on the 'The World's 100 Most Influencial people: 2012.' I think it is a great example of why Rihanna should be considered as a New Elizabethan. We debated in class whether she deserved the title and after hearing the pro and con's I was definitely left sat on the fence.
I have always been a fan of Rihanna but I became even more so when she started to bring out her more edgier, personal music like 'Good Girl Gone Bad' and 'Rater R' and 'Loud'. I love the music she creates but what really stood out for me was her diverse range of looks used within each Album. She never fails to please her fans creating and releasing album's very quickly which formulates a lot of negative attention as critiques comment on whether she is producing good quality music. I always disagree with the reviews as every album she releases is attached with a whole new themed look and attitude. As a person I think Rihanna is very inspiring, a very different artist to Gaga as her costumes and style is much more realistic and down to earth making her a role model to a lot of younger girls.
Many people argue that she is a bad role model due to her personal life always being scrutinised and discussed in the media. Especially her relationship with Chris Brown. However I think its very difficult for celebrities to keep there private life 'private' as someone is always trying to get involved with it.
Rihanna is defiantly a celebrity that everyone is always looking out for or reading upon. She's a very influential person especially to her fans and general younger women. She's also created a successful River Island collection which proves that her opinion and personal style is definitely important within fashion.

Princess Diana a new age royal...
Princess Diana didn't follow in the old fashioned footsteps of the royals. She had empathy and compassion for other people and put herself in other people shoes- mine sweeping. She was also dedicated to a lot of charities and reached out to people in many different ways making her more relatable to the general public and a huge role model. After becoming a mum she didn't hire a nanny to look after her children like any of the other royals making her much more realistic and human. She was also recognised for her modern style and beauty and was one of the worlds most photographed women. Diana had a massive impact on the nation and is still remembered today for her beautiful personality and the tragedy of her death.

Lady Gaga...
Lady Gaga is more or less known worldwide because of her shocking make-up and hair choices. Her quirky style and outrageous songs and performances are not just catered to one type of fan, her songs in particular are loved by homosexuals as Gaga always tries to express that being different and a little bit weird is good. Gaga herself is a pretty difficult choice to defend as a New Elizabethan as most people would consider her theatrical costumes to be pornographic and unnecessary rather than original or entertaining. A lot of Gaga's clothing isn't always necessarily 100% unique but she reinvents a lot of old trends making them her own. The creativity seen in her general look inspires a lot of her fans or just people in general because if she can be brave enough to wear it as often as she does then why can't we do the same?
I definitely think she has made an massive impact on the way we dress from day to day. She really broke boundaries and helped people become comfortable in there own skin. I think people dress a lot more outrageously nowadays without the concern of being judged or laughed at. I also think she's influenced a lot of other music artists to, singers such as Rihanna and Miley Cyrus have been in the public eye a lot more recently due to shocking performing outfits or seductive video's. Gaga has definitely raised the innovative bar, shaping the music industry as we are always intrigued to see what the next shocking outfit, song, hairstyle or make-up look will be.
