WHAT THEY ROCK’D: RIHANNA EDITION
Monday, June 23, 2008

In this special edition of What They Rock’d, we capture three looks Rihanna rocked while on the go last week.
The singer brought her black outfit to life on 106 & Park with these Balenciaga gladiator enamel heeled boots, while appearing on 106 & Park. Price for a pair of those? Hold your breath…$6495!

I pretty much was able to find the whole outfit from Friday that she wore while out in New York City. Her blazer is the Olsen twins’ Elizabeth & James Feather blazer ($765) and latex leggings by Kova & T ($110).
She’s wearing Ray Ban’s large Warfarer Sunglasses ($120) and is carrying the new exclusive Louis Vuitton Murakami Monogramouflage Speedy 35 ($1800) to available in select LV stores next month. Her thin heeled sandals are the ‘Pepe’ style by Manolo Blahnik ($745)…

She also went all black for her appearance on TRL, wearing a Thomas Wylde leather rider jacket along with fly Giuseppe Zanotti Fall 08 lace up boots. Made Her Think has been supplied her with jewelry all week - here she is wearing their Talon Ring ($110), black Pyramid Totem bracelet ($132), and Sword earring…

@H-Town Chic*** the olsen twins make the worst-dressed list a lot of times but i find it funny b/c they set trends undeniably. riri’s whole style (with the black clothing- the leggings, the leather) reminds me sooo much of mary-kate and but mary-kate mostly dresses herself. sometimes she looks too short in her clothing though so riri might pull off the clothing better than her but it doesn’t change the fact that the olsen twins are forever on fashion blogs b/c they are ahead of the curve
i wouldn’t call riri a fashion trendsetter or say she has an original style bc/ if you pay attention to fashion, everything that she’s ever worn has been done by others before. she’s a trend-follower and a very good one at that. she does look good in her clothes, not gonna lie about it.

Didn’t the Olsen chick already rock these (or something similar)? But I’ve seen a few model chicks and a hollywood actress with these back at their show months ago - different heels, 3/4, etc., but in all the same boots. Nothing new here.

I just saw those shoes today in Vogue magazine and it said they only cost $3975??? Why she pay so must for hers? Any way those shoes are horrible looking. They do have a low top version which are a lot cuter though….

#152 Rihanna’s style is nothing like Mary-Kate’s…Mary Kate does it all but she’s mostly grungy/heroin chic with a hot shoe. She accessorizes like a hippie as well… Rihanna, on the other hand, is very modern, high-end, punk…at least, that’s what she’s going for. There is nothing even remotely similiar about their styles…unless you’re saying that because Rihanna likes rings?
#153 You didn’t read all the comments, huh? I do it too. It’s okay. Anyway, nobody has worn this shoe. Neither of the Olsens wore it. Jennifer Connelly, as I said, wore the shorter version. She’s also a Balenciaga model and she wore the shoes Rihanna is wearing in the add. They were worn in the ads and on the runway but the first real life person to ever ever wear these shoes is Rihanna.

#152 Did you say Rihanna dresses like Mary-Kate because she’s wearing something from their line? In case you did, that line is VERY VERY successful because it’s very chic…tons of Hollywood people wear it…that’s not copying…it’s buying hot items…and the same would be true for LAMB and any other fashion line from a celebrity with true style.

when i said their styles were similar i put in parentheses that i was talking about the whole leather, shiny leggings, chunky heels, feathers, etc. look. i didn’t say they dressed completely alike b/c mary-kate definitely looks more unpolished but judging by the fact that she dresses herself for the most part, it’s expected. by the grunge look, i think you’re referring to when she’s just chilling b/c she does tend to do the ripped up jeans plaid shirt thing a lot but essentially many of the things that riri has worn (like leather jackets with classy dresses) has been done by mary-kate before. just check her style profile. and though she never wore these gladiator shoes, she was one of the first to rock them in general

all of the outfits worn above by rihanna look great love them all. People should not compare Mary Kate to Rihanna cause rihanna is fly as hell totally highfashion while mary kate looks unkept in her clothes so there is no comparision so i’ll have to agree with rake 100% on this one.

#158 When I say “grunge” I mean her style, period. If you know anything about Mary-Kate it’s that there is no difference between her day and night looks. As for her wearing gladiators first (and that wouldn’t change the fact that Rihanna’s the first to wear this particular show)…she didn’t but she is an undeniable force in fashion. I mean to take nothing from her…it’s just that when you say Rihanna’s style is similar to Mary-Kates you’re dealing in untruths.

RAKE #154 & #155 - You obviously are gay or just obsessed with being obsessed that you’re going through posts that don’t concern you. What the f*ck are you talking about? You’re so busy trying to defend something that you can’t you’re reading in, around and between the lines of comments - lmao. Again, Rihanna rocking these boots are old news because it’s already been done. Like your comments - THEY’RE DONE - ROTFLMAO!

actually there is a difference between her day and night looks
i’ve seen her even rock flower dresses with fur jackets on top. that’s not grunge at all. i think the fact that she always looks washed out is confusing you b/c she does switch it up in terms of clothes.she can do grunge, classy with an edge, hobo/hippie, she’s not one-dimensional. doesn’t matter anyway b/c she’s definitely a bigger force in fashion than rihanna will ever be b/c her look is not contrived.

#164 I can assure you that I am not confused…her entire schtick revolves around their being no difference between her day and night looks… Or have you never seen her rocking a fur coat, mini skirt, and Balenciaga boots for no reason at 3 in the afternoon? When I say “grunge” I don’t mean to insult her…it’s actually a sort of compliment because that’s what she’s going for. Her style is very Marc Jacob’s-first-runway-show ever or 90s Kate Moss. And her trademark bohochic/ ashcan chic thing is ALL about their being no difference between day and night looks. She paired ratty tees with faded jeans and $800 jeweled Manolo’s…that’s her thing. When I say “night” you do know that I don’t mean “formal” as in “red carpet” right? Although even then she’s hardly as glammed up as most of her peers. But, you’re right…she is a huge force in the fashion world and it doesn’t matter because neither she nor (or any other woman, for that matter) wore these shoes before Rihanna.

#162 Obviously YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH ME either that or SOOO mad at Rihanna that you won’t accept the fact that SHE IS THE FIRST TO WEAR THESE SHOES. Get a bit of fashion knowledge under your belt and then try to attack me, hmm? lol

I LOVE The Boots She Has On In The First Pic.
Her Stylist Really Is One That Should Be Gaining Most Of The Credit.
I Think They Are Hot, But Close Enough to 7K Is Huge Amount Of Money To Spend On Boots…However Like Some People Have Said She May Have Got Them Free To Advertise For Balenciaga.
&& To Those Sayin’ Her Feet Are Gross, Everyoen Is Entitled To Thier Opinion, But Rihanna Is Really Tall [ As Someone Stated Before] So There Is No Way She Is Gonna Have Small Feet, I Should Know Im Quite Tall Myself, To Me They Dont Seem All That Bad!

This girl is just generic. she is doing what every new girl that has come out has done. she makes up for the looks what she lacks in talent. by this time next year , she will be wearing whatever they tell her to. she knows that her look is what keeps tongues wagging so why change it? she has always come off as a fake person to me. one minute she is dogging her island/ her people the next she is saying how much she loves and adores them. maybe it is because they gave her a day, and now she feels stupid. or maybe she is making sure she plays into it while its hot. i agree with some people about her singing. she sounds like any other singer, with the exception of the greats.(swv, xscape,tlc,aaliyah, envogue etc)
