Rihanna earned an icon award at the American Music Awards last year. Now she's receiving a similar honour from the fashion world.
The Council of Fashion Designers of America announced on Monday that the 26-year-old pop star will receive the CFDA Fashion Icon Award on June 2 in New York City.
The award is given to one whose style has made a tremendous impact on pop culture around the world. Past recipients include Lady Gaga, Iman, Kate Moss and Australian Nicole Kidman.
The 2014 CFDA Fashion Awards will be held at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall.
Rihanna is expected to launch a three-date co-headlining tour with Eminem on August 8 in Los Angeles. The artists have collaborated on the No. 1 hits The Monster and Love the Way You Lie.
