rihanna rocks the gorilla.jpgDear Rihanna,
I don’t know much about your music. Mostly because I tend to pick up on music from the boys in my life and yours aren’t exactly their go-to tunes. But you’re on my radar (because I don’t live under a rock) and I’m digging your sartorial choices.
I know you have a red carpet/video/tour stylist, but I’m pretty sure when you walk out of the house in something like the Chris Kane dress at left, you’ve thrown it on all by yourself. Between that and your Stella sailor cardigan, the slouchy bag with which you dressed down that Alex Wang dress, your Balmain touches and this necklace you’re rocking all over NYC, we’re impressed.
So please wear more Chris Kane, check out Charles Anastase and maybe grab one of Marios Schwab’s 3D dresses? Also Ann D’s ribcage belt probably has your name etched along the spine and we’d love to see you in some Rodarte knits.
In closing, thank you for branching out where so many wear faded white tees and leggings – you’re like Michelle Obama for the Hollywood set and we kind of love you for it.

Let us not forget Her Trashy to die for slingbacks!!! http://bit.ly/TrRii

ummm, I’m not a fan of Rihanna’s music but your comment that your taste in music comes from the boys in your life is kind of pathetic. sorry, not trying to be rude.

does anyone know who stocks anastase in the city? in the u.s., for that matter?

Britt is ON FIRE today!

haha guest 2, not my taste in music – it’s just that i don’t know music the way i know, say fashion for example, and i don’t ever have time to listen to the radio and so many of the guys in my life eat, sleep and breathe music so they’re usually the ones introducing me to new stuff, which i welcome and love.

me too, britt!

oh, my “me too” was to your comment, but I agree with the post as well…

this blog is dunzo

Rodarte, Chris Kane, Ann D, – My three favourites

Just because she has money to buy expensive items doesn’t make her “stylish” at ll.

i like rihanna’s style as well.
love the look in this picture.
much better than a lot of pop stars out there right now.

i lover her style but i mean sometimes she has fashion fopa’s and her hair right now…not so hot

guest #10: while it’s true she has the money to buy designer clothing, she still dresses better than most celebrities who also have the money and the stylists.

I love Rihanna’s style. She is always pushing the limits and making her own mark. I think she should try a dress from this new line I found called S.LOVE. They are dark, sophisticated and have a little rocker edge. http://www.slovenyc.com

It’s faux pas, children, not fopa’s

# 10.. YES IT DOES.
On another note, Paris Hilton looks like garbage all the time, and she could have ANYTHING she want’s, but she chooses ugly sequin dresses with her name drawn all over them. Rihanna takes the higher road.

my bad thanks for the correction #15
kinda weird but helpful

RIHANNA=FASHION ICON

Rihanna = love

she has no innate style. give me a break. being better than paris hilton doesn’t make you a fashion icon.

listen up people:
rihanna’s amazing style = her uber amazing stylist mariel haenn
remember when she first came on the scene wearing bare midriff tops and low cut jeans? and after her new album [good girl gone bad] drops [AND a totally new image]….all of a sudden she’s a fashion icon. 100% her stylist….NOT her.

I worked at a shop and Rihanna came in ALONE and bought amazing shit on her own. No sylist in sight. She then went and promptly chopped off her hair. I do believe being a style icon is on par with taking risks and wearing things right. Done and done. ICON.

rhianna is the new young it fashionista! Love it or hate cause I’m loving her effortless style and constant not afraid of change attitude! Plus we are tired of looking at the same old trends from the vets, be bold switch it up please!
