I agree, I think it's a combination of the change in lighting as well as different makeup

It looks like bleaching to me

I agree with Lighterr, anyone who says rihanna is not visibly lighter in skin color than when she first came out obiviously needs to have their eyes checked, and please stop that story about weather changes. Several millions of people from hot climates migrate to the U.S yearly they don't go paler about 3 shades after that.

I was googling to try and find some of her childhood photos to see what she looked like when she was a kid, only found one and she was definitely browner.

I did come across this photo which looks strange to me. Neck up she's ultra white, I think she got carried away with the lightening creams about her neck or something. Or could be makeup, but who puts makeup on their neck?

Here's the photo:

A little strange huh? What ever it is, the multicolour makes it seem more likely that she's into skin lightening, however she may achieve it.
