Rihanna refuses to wear skimpy clothes for videos and photoshoots because she's determined to impress with her music alone - just like her idol Alicia Keys.
Rihanna recently turned down a cover shoot for German magazine when she discovered editors wanted her to go topless for the session.
Rihanna said:
I don't like to wear things (that are) too skimpy... If I do shorts on the bottom, it's gotta be something very conservative at the top.
If it's skimpy at the top, it's gotta be long jeans or something.
I like to balance it out. I won't do short shorts and short top.
That's what I admire so much about Alicia Keys. She became so successful off of just her music. She was really conservative about her style at first.
