I don’t like it at all, way to skanky for her supposed target demographic

But i guess you gotta do what you gotta do

I mean lets be real it aint like she can dance (at all) or sing (that well)

fuck that white boy lovin bitch

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should —
Really, what’s the point?

Yes, sex does sell, but she was selling without it, so why now?
The truth is, if she’s really 19 she stands to lose some portion of her younger audience with this new look and persona.

It’s not a good look.

She is not 19…… she was born in 1983 which makes her 22.

Yes she is a pretty girl but that outfit is too much. But hey if she wants to be known for being half naked rather than actually having talent thats on her. People hate her and criticize her all the time, i guess she figured let me do what i got to do to get money. But It obvious she lost her morals and dignity in the process. I remember reading tons of interviews just last year when she said she refused to sell sex because she respects herself, how in honor of her fellow west indians she wouldnt do that and how she loved A.keys b/c she never needed to sell sex. SMH i like her but this might just be her downhall. If people dont take u seriously as a artist and then u show up half -naked to all ur shows what is left too the imagination and what is left to keep us interested in you. Being called a whore over and over again rather than getting props for ur music is eventually gonna suck.

Is it really such a big deal? These pictures are all over blag blogs…you act as if someone’s jewel studded bra is somehow less salacious than Rihanna’s leather bra. Is this fetishist stuff just a big deal because it’s blatant? If so, come one people…it’s nothing more than literal (like the rest of Rihanna’s “rocker chic” ensembles) and boring, maybe…but it’s in no way different than the bra Ciara exposed in “Can’t leave him alone” or the bejeweled bra and micro mini skirt Beyonce toured in last year or Latoya Luckett in the incessant drapey top and bra or Amerie’s bikini and jeans or Keyshia Cole’s ridiculously dowdy bathing suit or…the list goes on…
Stop being overly imaginative…it’s hypocritical.

NOTT!!!

according to Rihannas biography her birthday is February 20, 1988. So she is indeed 19, almost 20. Can that just be a “industry age’ possibly. DO any of US actually really know if she is lying or not? NO. So until it is proven the girl is INDEED that age, ANYWAY, moving on. Im not very FOND of the new costume choices, they are a lil too revealing IMO. I miss the OLD rihanna and her old style too. But she is grown so she can dress how she likes… i just dont like when celebs start sellin themselves out and sellin their souls to the devil.

SEE ….. RIHANNA AKA ROBYN IS ACTUALLY IN HER UPPER TWENTIES. WHAT LIL GIRL KNOW ABOUT THAT KIND OF GEAR? WOW. SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE GOT DESPERATE AND BROUGHT OUT HER PERSONAL STASH OF “STUFF” LOL!!!!!!

HAY WHEN CIARA IS LOVED AND SHE IS BOOED…. SHE GOTTA GO DO THIS TO …… UHHHHH SAVE FACE? I UNNO BUT SHE IS LOOKING STRANGE. ALMOST LIKE EDWARD SCISSORHANDS…. BUT A CHICK.

LOL! SHE LOOK A “HOT MESS” SHE NEED TO GO TO THE COUTURE HOUSE AND SCOOP AN OUTFIT THAT IS “TASTEFUL” CUZ THAT IS NOT. IT DOESN’T MATCH ANY OF HER SONGS EITHER OR THE FANS.

WOW…. HOT MESS…..I GUESS THE “HEAD DOCTOR” IS IN FULL EFFECT LOL!!!!!

I will say I like Rihanna to a certain extent, but I agree with some of you when saying I have never bought and never will buy that “Good Girl Gone Bad” image. From day one, to me, you can tell it was forced on her and not her idea. She is a puppet for Def Jam and has no say so in things and this just proves it. Like what others said, what songs do she have that relate to the revealing outfits, none I can think of. But I guess she gotta do what she gotta do, cause I have been hearing also that Ciara is killing her on her on tour. Which I think Rihanna was stupid for have Cici on her tour knowing Ciara is 50x better a performer than her.

AGREEE @74

i think she look nice, and let her do her thing, no one says anything to beyonce or janet when they go out lookin like that, she a grown ass woman now and she workin it, i love ya Rihanna

With her voice she has to do something…Sex sells.::shrugs:: i guess..

Definitely NOT HOT. It seems to me she is trying way too hard! I liked her punk look at first but it’s going way overboard! And it’s totally unappropriate for a girl her age and the young girls who look up to her and listen to her music. To sum it up, Rihanna’s trippin’.

THE GIRLS A WHORE NEXT, nah i’m messing….it is a tad bit much tho, maybe she is tryna fulfil guys s&m fantasy’s, i mean no1 in the industry is doing that are they lol

it’s hot definately…it’s not like she’s at the mall or grocery shopping…it’s a costume..and she wear whateva she likes it’s hooooooooooot

Someone on CL said it before–Rihanna will go to any lengths for $. Next we’ll see her in Playboy. I won’t be surprised if she’s washed up and turned out by the industry in a few years. Lost.

btw people wear alot less on the beach

These photos are on every major blog and forum on the internet. Everybody is talking about Rihanna. Mission accomplished.
Haters fall back. Rihanna is killin it.

Rihanna is a bore onstage.

Where are the photos of Ciara? I know she tore it up.

both britney and christina did it and both nasty when they did Rihanna needs to dress like this bc she NEEDS TO..alot of the people who are lacking in something resort to this..

Sure people are takling about her, but no one’s buying her albun. At least not in the US.

NOT!

If you gotta ask then you know it ain’t lookin like schitt.
Doesn’t have anything to do with her age cause she’s a grown woman now.
It’s just phuckin trashy/ugly.
I still think she fine as hell though.

SHE LOOKS LIKE THAT BECAUSE THE PUBLIC HAS OVER SENSATTINALIZED SEX

I mean she LOOKS NO DIFFERENT THAN HALF THE HOS YOU SEE IN VIDEO’S

And age doesnt really seem to matter now days considering they play dumb ignorant ass songs like “Im in love with a stripper” and lyrics talking bout skeet. I mean I was at a friends house and one of her sons 12 yo friends was singing he was in love with a stripper.

RHIANNA IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER ENTERTAINER. MADONNA AT THE HEIGHT OF HER CAREER WAS WAY MORE SEXUAL..HELL EVEN JANET. SHE IS AN ENTERTAINER AND SHE IS ENTERTAINING. THE PUBLIC HAS BASICALLY BOUGHT INTO ALL THE OVER SEXUALISM IN ENTERTAINMENT. ALL THESE WOMEN SHAKING TO BE IN A VIDEO, AND FEMALES ARE BUYING THE DEGRADING MUSIC. SO RHI RHI DRESSING LIKE THIS SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE.

I AM SURPRISED WOMEN STILL ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE DISRESPECTED. BUT YOU CANT REALLY CALL HER OUT UNLESS YOU ALSO CALL OUT THE WOMEN WHO SUPPORT DEGRADING MUSIC AND CONDONE IT.

I LOVE IT!! LOL! ITS SEXY, EDGY, Rock & B (Rock + R&B= Rock & B a.k.a Rihanna)

No but seriously.. I like it.. it’s JUST A COSTUME PEOPLE… and besides, we all know that some of ya favorite “other” artists have worn some pretty “racy” stage outfits.

Being also of caribbean background,I doubt that Rihanna or her mother understands the significance of this S@M and B&D image ” THEY ” are cultivating around her. This kind of sexual culture is very foreign to Caribean people and ,as a matter of fact, to most black people. If she or her mother had the slightest idea. they would, let’s say “drop it like it not”. ” THEY” did the same shit with Grace Jones. This is off to left field - way out there in the nether world of sick sexuality. Dont ask me who is “THEY”
I’m too embarassed.

Trashy !

@101… Grace Jones, aka Stronge still scares the living shit out of me. Mission accomplished with that one.

@94… So I guess it’s better to be talked about for any reason rather than the right one? Bad gossip will only get you so far.

its tacky, if she aint 19 she’s probably the same age as Ciara

@ # 79… i seriously hope your joking about what you said… otherwise you need to go back to school.. if someone was born in 1983 they would be 24 for this year… GENIUS..LOL!!!

She should just go be a porn star…………..That part in “Umbrella” where she goes “Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh” sounds like she is humping somebody anyway and it would sound good with some porn music behind it. LOL!

I was just about to say that #105, I was like WTF!!! they cant count.

THEY DONT CALL HER GOOD GIRL GONE BAD FOR NOTHING…..LIL MISS SUNSHINE IS KICKIN IT UP A NOTCH…

I WISH PEOPLE WOULD RELAX, DAMN, IT’S THE THEME OF HER CD….IT’S NOT LIKE SHE’S WALKING THE STREETS LIKE THAT.

Why do people keep talking about Ciara getting more props on tour…who cares? Really? She should never have even been on the tour, seeing as how her image is FAR from Rihanna’s. Rihanna is ADORED in the mainstrean (guess what? Paris didn’t have to sell a million records to get the attention and Lindsay Lohan’s music career is anything but premier and oh…the record Nicole Ritchie is dropping…are you going to get that? Is anyone? Doubt it, but they’re still mainstream “darlings”). Rihanna is a mainstream celebrity who could sell several hundred million records and be talked about or several hundred thousand and get the same attention. I am not a fan of her style…I find it much too literal (I say that over and over about her because I can’t believe she found a stylist with such a lack of imagination) and, of course, contrived…but she’s interesting… Many consider her a style icon already, fashion houses coddle her, she seems to do this sort of opportunistic dating that’s unabashed-and almost militantly-feminist, she’s unafraid to be candid but still quite articulate. And, guess what? All that makes her interesting to black and white alike…she’s an international star.

Ciara, unfortunately, is none of those things… I’m not at alll a stan in this but it’s true…Ciara shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same breath as Rihanna.

…………………………….

Ho, Ho, Ho Cherry Xmiss - Pun Intended! This is just whacked! Everything should not be about $$$ and sales . . .

Not, next.

THAT OUTFIT IS VERY FAR FROM HOT & SO CLOSE TO NOT. AHE IS GOING ABOUT MAKING A NAME FOR HERSELF A LIL TOOOO FAR…SHE JUST NEEDS TO BE HERSELF….THAN AGAIN MAYBE THAT IS THE REAL HER

rihanna looks like a ho in that outfit! She looks like an old broke-down dominatrix ho! Stick to to the miniskirts and tu-tus… HOLLAAAAAA!

rihanna looks like an escort in that outfit! ….. an old broke-down dominatrix ho! Stick to to the miniskirts and tu-tus… HOLLAAAAAA!

Poor Rihanna, poor Rihanna, poor Rihanna, child hasn’t got a clue as to what they are doing to her - this is exreme naivete and proves how much Rihanna is controlled by those out to make a buck by any means(use to call em pimps in the day). This is not just costume. No sensible entertainer who wants a future would go near this kind of image. Girl is being led down a ruinous path by parasites and freaks. From what I heard the same was done to Grace Jones(many may not know her - but to this day she is considered a sexual freak whether true or not). Madonna may have gotten the Benjies , but old as she is - still gets no respect - sad when you’re 50 and people can only remember :slut, slut, slut.
See, they already calling her a ho - image may just stick with her(if we can still remember her 10 years from now).
This is not funny at all - we need to pray for this lost child.

SHE LOOK A MESS, THAT STAGE GEAR IS TOO CHEEZY AND TRASHY. OK, WE GET THAT YOU ARE A “BAD” GIRL NOW YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CONVINCE US ANYMORE, HOW CLICHE`.

Rihanna’s performance has received really good reviews from news publications I have yet to read anything about Ciara’s performance in any legitimate publication. Most of the stellar reviews Ciara got are written on blogs and forums by Ciara fans/stans who probably are’nt even in the UK let alone at the concert.

I loooove those full body pieces but the other ones are not hott they’re too much…
This is my kind of taste I wish I could be a stripper or a dominatrix….but I dont have Ri Ri’s body.

I think this is her personal style and I’m not going to knoc her for it…but I agree that her style isnt matching her music….She needs to come back with different kinds of music to pull off outfits like that

I STILL SAY SHE HAS AN ALIEN HEAD LIKE ON THOSE TSHIRTS

:DDD

# 75 said it straight up, unless she’s sharing the stage with marilyn manson or all those other metal freaks, she shouldn’t be wearing those wacky dominatrix outfits. I agree it is “too intense” for these pop songs, those pictures look like she could be yelling and screaming like crazy, but she;s just singing something melodic and poppy and innocent.

rihanna is such a pretty girl…really she is…but this right hurr…is a not!!!!!…this is not showgirls and you are not singing showtunes k riri…..it doesnt take all of that to show people that you have talent boo boo,ur fans should be able to enjoy you just as much if you were standing there……..thennnnn again…beyonce (yeah i said it) goes all out in her performances too so maybe it aint that bad ya dig.

WAY TOO MUCH!!! Its a nice line between Sexy & Hoe-ish. But if thats how she wants to betray herself its ok. But its a big no no

sorry, but she looks like a slut…if i saw her in every-day life performing on a stage in a local club, i would think she’s crazy and they pulled some ho off the street.

we get rhianna…ur a good girl gone bad..whatever…now put some damn clothes on

We say HOT! and Fabulous… after all it’s just for show rite. Not like she’s dressin’ her dog up to be domi-dog or sumthin’…. brrrrrr freaky idea.

Ridiculous. Just too ridiculous. And not because of the actual outfit. That outfit can actually have its place in somebody’s act and on a different type of artist. Rihanna just doesn’t have the “IT” required to carry this off without looking contrived. It’s not authentic or believable. On her it’s just a prop and almost comedic.

On Madonna it’s authentic. On Janet Jackson it’s believable. On Rihanna it’s laughable.

Girl is being led down a ruinous path by parasites and freaks. From what I heard the same was done to Grace Jones(many may not know her - but to this day she is considered a sexual freak whether true or not). Madonna may have gotten the Benjies , but old as she is - still gets no respect - sad when you’re 50 and people can only remember :slut, slut, slut.
______________________________________________________________________

Almost 100 posts and only about 5 people think she looks ‘hot’.
She could have been the next madonna. And she had one thing that madonna didn’t–INSTANT CROSSOVER appeal. So unlike old madge, she did not need to sell sex to get noticed. Every race wants to be identified with her but now look at this. Notice how maddona nowadays desperately tries to play the clean cut ‘lady of the manor’ role but it never seems to stick.

Why do people attack Beyonce so much?
Why do people attack Brit so much?
Why did rappers come under so much fire over ‘bitches and hos’?

Regardless of that old “sex sells” statement, it seems to me that a lot of people are
sick and tired of “sex selling” and no substance.

Rhi can be sexy (she’s 19) but this is not sexy or hot. She’s being marketed as a freak. I don’t think she’s even thought about ‘where do i go from here’ once this routine gets old. Anyway, hopefully she’ll give us an interview in future talking about how ’she wasn’t herself and felt pressured’…………….hmmmm….maybe she should first ‘collapse’ on stage due to ’stress’ and get rushed to hospital, then give us the interview. She reminds me of that chick Akon threw around like a ragdoll.

i love this girl and watever she want to wear who the hell is to tell her no. That girl is 19 if u want to lie bout ur age y bring urself n the music industry and be illegal???????????????????

ITA w/ 74 & 78.

I couldn’t care less how old she is, it’s not hot. And neither is that lipstick =(

I like some of her songs, but those outfits is a big not. Her album doesn’t fit that type of image for real. I can see her going back and forth on stage singin We Ride in that getup lol. She does have the swagger to pull that off and it looks fake on her.
She is not thinkin of the girls younger than her that come to the show and it could damage her in the long run if not now. No female pop star should even have to go down this path, but they say sex sells but all dignity and respect is lost in the long run and that takes a lot to get that back.

They say good or bad publicity is just that publicity but being called a slut and no talent or she’s only getting this for attention can only get you so far. Not hating or anything but the music doesn’t match what she’s doing. Sad really to look at her like that.

Very whorish but that’s what has worked for her.She sells sex and nothing else.

Actually I think the Beyonce look was forced ( A girl like me), especially after reading this in an interview with Rihanna:

Rihanna found herself in Paris, and fancied a haircut. Off came the long locks, and she returned to her hotel delighted with the bob she’d reduced them to. “The minute I got back,” she recalls, “someone in authority, they were like, ‘Yeah, your hair looks good.’ But somebody else went, ‘You need to put your hair back in – soon.’ ” (How chilling is that “someone in authority”?) In went the extensions, as instructed. “It just crushed me,” she continues. “When you’re growing up, 17, 18, that’s when you’re really trying to figure out who you are, and at that point I just wanted to try something outside of the box. But as soon as you come out of your shell, like, ‘This is who I am’, they just shove you back in with, ‘No, because this is what we want the box to look like.’ You just feel like a tool after a while.”

And on a Radiostation she told kiss.fm, that she called the album good girl gone bad, because she wanted to go another direction and didn’t listen to “the people in authority”, she basically let the bold person in her speak and they listened.

But I agree this last attire for her tour is to much, I’m wandering if this is forced or also her choice ??

If only had the girl had real talent and was able to hold the audience’s attention for more than 3 seconds….*SIGH*

And she bin hiding that forehead of hers recently, dont fire the hairdresser RIRI!!! she knows what shes doing!

On a real tho, Rihanna shudav stuck to dancehall. Sure, she may not have got as much success but she would have been more entertaining, not like this pop garbage shes churning out

I think she can wear whatever she wants to wear..who cares. She’s not a teacher, a minister, a social worker or anything that requires a certain image or certain rules. She’s a singer/performer!! There are no “dress codes” for her profession. I don’t get why so many people dislike her, I like Rihanna and don’t really care about her wardrobe on or off the stage, her clothes don’t make or break her.

I don’t understand what all the hoopla is about when it comes to Rhianna. First Rhianna has no kind of shape and then that face is fugly. Now my girl Kim Kardashian is the one. Kim has the hourglass shape , the finest face and the sexiest voice.

definately NOT, what the hell is she wearing?!?!?!? she looks like a $2 whore. guess she has to compensate for her awful voice, real singers don’t need to take their clothes off!!!

NOT!!! what the hell is she wearing?!?!?! singers with REAL talent don’t have to dress like dominatrixes on drugs!!!

She has to make up for lack of singing talent somehow…..

WENT TO THE CONCERT AT WEMBLEY LAST NIGHT…THE WHOLE DOMINATRIX THING WAS A BIT IN YOUR FACE, AS SHE MADE THIS WHOLE SPEECH ABOUT BEING YOUNG STILL, AND NORMAL “I THINK BOYS SUCK SOMETIMES” IS WHAT SHE SAID…SO ITS ALMOST LIKE THE CLOTHES DONT MATCH HER PERSONALITY

CIARA ON THE OTHER HAND WAS FRICKEN INCREDIBLY, SEXY OUTFITS BUT NOT TOO ALIENATING…I HAVE PHOTOS I WILL EMAIL THEM IN….

I THINK RIHANNA IS MADE UP OF A GOOD BODY, A NICE VOICE AND GOOD MARKETING….GOD KNOWS IF SHE HAS ANY SAY AT ALL AS TO WHAT SHE DOES…..ITS SO EASY TO BE EXPLOITED WHEN YOU’RE YOUNG….I DONT THINK SHE WRITES MUCH OF HER MUSIC…I THINK THATS WHY I RESPECT CIARA MORE…SHE CO-WRITES ALL OF IT…(BARRING A COUPLE OF TRACKS GIVEN TO HER)

As much as i love Rhianna this is way too much…and about the age thing…wasnt she 19 when she first came out about 3 years ago with pon di replay!…lol..Im just saying…you cant remain 19 forever

There
was absoluty no need

for her to rock this Ridiculously sleazy and sl*ty Look at all!

she looks like a cheap domenatrix

very very dissappointing

there was seriously no need.. shes selling shes popular and has a fan base

why did she feel the need 2 come out with the same trick as britney and christina?

she doesnt really have her own identity in the music biz if you think about it

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOBODY SHOULD WEAR THAT UNLESS THEY GOT THEY MAN TIED UP IN A DUNGEON BOUT TO TEAR HIM UP WIT A LEATHER WHIP

For a 19 year old…NO WAY!
Toooooo much vinyl, too much skin
It’s fine that she wants a more ‘adult’ image
But this isn’t even sexy or beautiful
It’s trashy.
I hear a lot of tweens singing her songs and looking up to her, there’s no way I would (if i had) let a 11-13yr. old see this concert…NO!

IT TO MUCH FOR HER AGE. I’M JUST A YEAR OLDER THAN HER AND WON’T WEAR NOTHIN LIKE THAT.

It’s not hot. It’s stank and screams for attention.

Rihanna is just not that hot to me anymore. I liked the island girl look she started with. That’s what happens when you go for a “lighter” image though.

NOT…. It is very classless.

I think she looks fine. Let her do her thing. She’s getting money. Don’t care for the outfit. I mean atleast she’s not out there strong out on drugs and acting a fool like some of Lindsay Lohans’ and Paris Hilton. Hey it is what it is and she’s doing it well! Do ya thing Rihanna!
