Lorde Recently Talked About Rihanna with Standard Magazine. “She’s just magnetic. You can’t not look at Rihanna. I would buy anything Rihanna sold me.’
I would have thought that Rihanna was about the opposite of Lorde, I say. ‘No, it’s the same way that I idolise naked Grace Jones on the cover of Island Life. The way Rihanna embodies being a sexual woman feels very “her”. I don’t think she wears Swarovski crystals to please other people. I think she wears them because she’s like: “I feel amazing. You better look. I’m obviously the best-looking thing in this room.” She’s so fearless and confident. I just love her. Ha ha ha.’
Nor does she feel that females wearing very little is a bad influence on young girls. ‘People should stop worrying about their daughters. I don’t see a female without clothing as a terrible influence. There are worse things. Shooting people. Glorifying violence…”
