STYLE STAR: FEATURING RIHANNA
Tuesday, July 31, 2007

From those Dsquared2 brass knuckle boots, to those tight Leger dresses - Rihanna has matured into one of the hottest fashionistas in Hollywood today.
Her “glam rock” style has set her apart from the rest of the r&b and pop singers on the scene and according to Rihanna, this look is more her. In fact, she told CL that her new style is an expression of herself, opposed to the propped look she had when she first came out.
Learn more about Rihanna’s style here, and find out how you can cop her threads!
Most of the credit for implementing this transformation should go to her stylist Mariel Haenn. Mariel has been styling Rihanna throughout her career, but this season - she is really turning heads with her work. Haenn tells MTV, “I put everything into it. I know there are not a lot of other stylists that care as much as me, but it’s me and my name on it. And when I’m making the call and people know it’s me styling it, it has to be right every time.”
And she is doing her job well, might I add.

Hey all! Love the Loop and all u guys comments (cracks my ass up @ work). Im in England, so u guys keep me in the Loop with whats happenin fo’real! thanks!!
Really tho..this style is cool, but it aint nothing new in London. Over here, Rhi Rhi’s style is all over East LDN. It’s new to US folks, so guess that’s y er’body all up on Rhi’s tit. (Love her tho- well, not really her singin!)

I love her style, she is really doing the damn thing…so people don’t hate the girl is fabolous!!! It doesn’t matter how old she is I was dressing like her @ 17 or 18 so stop talking like her style is to mature for her age…I mean look @ all the white stars (i.e. Lindsay Lohan, Hailey Pettire(the girl from heros) who are around her age.. no one says anything about them so just give her her props!!!

Rhianna style is fly. I don’t know who shes trying to fool by saying this is her and the others were more forced,lol. She has a smart team behind her I’ll give her that. Also her album has grown on me…so Riri do your thing.

If Rihanna would stop with the Robyn v. Rihanna, “I’ve rebelled and this is the real me” crap, I would respect her more. Little girl, please. Madonna never explained shyt, LOL. I don’t think this look is anymore Rihanna than her mini-Beyonce look. She’s just going along with the marketing of her record label, which is cool because they’ve got everybody on this side of the ocean believing that this is a new, unique style. It works.
I have a feeling in a year or so (when she’s dropped her 7th album) she’s gonna look back on this costumey thing and tell us Jay-Z made her do it and that this wasn’t the “real Rihanna” either. LOL!
28.
OH YES I DID!
Tuesday, July 31, 2007 /
STUNNING. Rihanna is absolutely gorgeous and even if she didn’t have a successful singing career, she could easily be an extremely successful model… yeah girl!

Love her style! It’s crazy though, because I remember when she first came out, I always wondered, “why is everyone making such a big deal about this girl?”
But she’s has really set herself apart from the rest of the pack - style wise. And I’m excited to see what she has in store for us vocally as she continues to grow as an artist.
But the girl has the style game on lock! Go Ri Ri!!

She is very pretty, her pic in the jumper- candid off the red carpet is better than the pic of the model in the same outfit at a photo shot.

Thise fingerless gloves took me back to the 80’s when blue jean jackets, leggings with holes and flourescent colors were the absloute business! Oh yeah! And a million plastic bracelets going up the arm!
Yeah the style is definitely retro, but the point is - she really ROCKS it!! Eer’ body can’t do that!

For real though Rihanna’s style is nothing new. I live in London and if you go to flagship stores like TOPSHOP, MISS SELFRIDGE etc these styles have been out 4 ages.
Seems that its just catching on in the States….

SOOOOOOO Rhianna got a new stylist, hence her new look. If it was up to her big headed ass she would be looking crazy, like she did when she first came out.

i really dont like this girl’s voice, the only good song that she has that i kinda like….is umbrella…..but vocally and performance wise…..she is just o.k…..she appeals more to white audiences…..and shes not the least bit r&b

I luv those pumps, don’t the bamboo earrings, I like the fact that Rihannas music is a little different since I listen to all types of music. Her music is very radio friendly- I don’t have her album though.
I wish her all the success is whatever she tries to do!

Seen it all b4… Some of my girls dress like that and better (and have been forever)… THIS IS RIHANNA!!! right? She is tryin her lil heart out to sell… Too bad. Not a hater, just the truth. Who cares, at this point? We need to value those with TRUE talent. Not alrite looking light girls (im am light too) who barely can sing and dance (neither of which is RiRi good at)

THIS IS A STYLE THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME. rIHANNA JUST LOOKS REALLY GOOD IN THIS STLYE OF CLOTHING… IF IM NOT MISTAKEN SHE SPENT SOME TIME IN LONDON… SO THAT SHOULD EXPLAIN WHY SHE SAID THIS IS HER. (REALLY) A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE STYLED HER FOR THE COVER OF VIBE VIXEN AND SHE TOLD ME RIHANNA HAS THE BODY AND ATTITUDE TO PULL OFF THIS LOOK. IT WORKS FOR HER INDEED. SHE NEEDS SOMETHING TO TAKE OUR MINDS OFF HER FLAT VOICE AND WEAK PERFORMANCES.
IF YOU READ THIS RIHANNA… YOU LOOK VERY UNCOMFORTABLE ON STAGE. DO SOME YOGI AND BECOME ONE WITH IT.
EVEN THOUGH KELIS DID IT FIRST … RIHANNA JUST SHUT HER DOWN!!!

i agree wit whoever called out Kelis and her style. Kelis basically put most of this ish on the map for black stars @ least. I guess Ri-Ri’s mainstream enuff to get the recognition…

I think I loved all of her styles cause they are young and fresh. Plus she is not a bad singer, she clearly has sills its just people dont like her tone. Oh and does any fans know if she has baby pictures on the net? Ciara has some and she looked too cute, plus its weird seeing them when they were little! http://www.ciara-harris.n...e.php?album=192&pos=0
Thats ciara and her daddy, dont he look like flex washington lol! And doesnt she look like beyonce (light skin, sandy brown hair, looser curl pattern)?

*yawn*
Her stylist ais probably my fav too. She definately works on this girl alot. I mean look at her, she’s cute now and she’s a star now. Good for her!
On a serious note though, I hope I don’t see everyday people rocking this “glam rock” crap on the streets since they are trying to sell this stuff. Seriously though because I’m just imagining how DRY this look will look on regular people(just take a look at the white lady rocking the same dress us Rih is the pics above ). Rihanna is rich now so she has money for her stylist to get the right make-up and oil for her to glow and work the hell out of her oufits. Regular people done have that! So please, if you are reading this, and you are thinking of purchasing this crap, DON’T imho.

I am from London and a lot of people there do dress like that. But from what my mom tells me that when she lived there in the 70’s and early 80’s that was the hot style so to the people in London I dont think america is just catching on I think it is coming back. Rihanna looks great!

1. Thanks for posts like this Tianna! Us fashion whores need our fix too hehe! Now on to the critiquing….
2. Rihanna looks great in her new style, but I agree that not everyone can pull of the glam rock thing, so I too also hope not to see fashion illiterate chicks rockin’ this on the street because I will pop a blood vessel laughing at their asses.She rocks the DSquared2 jumpsuit better than the damn model, she kills Herve Leger, and she works the heels even though she’s already tall, so I have mad respect for her embracing her height because a lot of tall women try to make themselves look shorter; fuck that, go for them heels bitches! LOL.
3. Mad props to her stylist.

I’M SOOOOOO TIRED OF RIHANNA. I HAVEN’T HEARD ONE SONG FROM HER THAT PROVES SHE HAS REAL TALENT. SHE IS WAY TO HYPED BY THE MEDIA WITHOUT THE TALENT TO BACK IT UP. SHE’S LIKE THE BLACK HILARY DUFF TO ME. I’M NOT FEELIN HER MUSIC BUT HER STYLIST DID GET US INTERESTED WITH THE NEW LOOK.
WTF IS AN UMBAH-RELLA? EH-EH-EH

hmm all i see is posh beckham’s style all over this page. not new but still cute. i think she should always wear dresses though. she has a short torso so that jumpsuit looked funny on her to me.

AMERIE ROCKED the BRASS NUCKLED BOOTS 1st in her new video. But, yet we give Rihanna all the credit although she did it MONTHS later. Don’t get me wrong I like Rihanna and all, but we got to give credit when credit is due.
