6. Rihanna
With her constant presence on social media, Rihanna always seems to be in the news so it should come as no surprise that the Barbadian star was featured on this list. Rihanna covered Cosmopolitan this year and starred in the Balmain ads revealed just this month. Her collaborations with brands like MAC and River Island don’t hurt either.

7. Taylor Swift
With tabloids speculating about her dating life and good girl image, Taylor Swift ranked number seven as one of Google’s most searched for people. On the fashion front, Swift hit the red carpet in some attention-grabbing looks and ended the year by performing at the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. She covered Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and POP Magazine. Image: Taylor Swift on Elle US March 2013 Cover / Courtesy of Elle
