  1. BORED OF RIHANNA AND HER STANS

    ALL You fools who keep saying how great she looks makes me sick, would you fools wear that yourself? do you fools just think it’s hot because Rihanna, your favourite talentless bitch is wearing it and everything she wears turns to gold in you stupid stan eyes. The Bitch is a puppet, black and beautiful, I don’t think so.
    You stans need to stop acting like you know this girl, Like Chris she has a dark side but her side is darker, we just haven’t seen the way the bitch really carries on but don’t be fooled. Rihanna is only popular right now because white people love her, they love Beyonce but unlike Ri, Beyonce is loved by all and actually has talent and no I ain’t a Beyonce stan but If I could have any of the two’s looks I go for Beyonce anyday!

  2. whoa girl

    way way too much. I understand fashion madness but she just trying too hard. Fo’real.

  3. IloveLV

And another thing for you to throw out the race card shows your ignorant side I know plenty of different races who love Rihanna Beyonce ain’t the only female who got different races loving her a** idiot damn can people take their heads out of her a** for once!!!! LOL

    TALK ABOUT RIHANNA ‘S VOICE RIHANNA PERFORMANCE… U CAN’T CUZ U KNOW SHE SUCKS!!!!

    THAT OUTFIT IS A MESS AND IT’S SO KELIS

  10. The Wayno Show

    AWESOME!!!

  11. Diamond_101

    Enough with bey vs. Rihanna!
    I love her makeup and that’s all.

  12. water

    I am going to say: She looks like Samuel L Jackson’s character Mr. Glass in “Unbreakable”

  13. blksiren

    THIS GURL, IS SOOOO HIGH FASHION. THE SEMI-ANDROGENOUS LOOK IS THE BOMB. SHE COULD WEAR ANYTHING. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!
    THIS IS HIGH FASHION!! KILLEM RIH RIH.
    KEEPING THE PULSE OF TRUE FASHIONISTAS PALPABLE!!!

  14. my2sense

    rih and madonna are the laughing stocks of all of the fashion blogs right now!!!!!

  15. Veronique

    She looks a hot mess. She is so not a “style” icon. Taking chances on random outfits does not make you a “style” icon. No hate, but this outfit is NOT what’s up!

  16. backingbarack

    she looks butch like teyona taylor here.

  17. BLACKbalance

    Ms. Fashionista looks like she is about to fly away. LOL The outfit is okay in my opinion. But overall no matter what Rih-Rih puts on she kills it! He make-up artist got’s it going on… It’s always on point and accentuates her eyes : o )

  18. letmetellu

    @nagasaki………..i agree with you. but you have to understand that behind closed doors she is probably stressing out and still trying to heal. but as an entertainer she has a drop to do which is stay fashion forward and have some type of swagger (that word is getting played out but i felt that it was needed). i think she looks beautiful and i have a love hate feeling with the outfit but it fits her right. im loving the hair eventhough small curls could have gotten thrown on the side where it was flat just to add some volume.

  19. HALCYONC

    HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. Brezzy bre ( TIRED OF LISTENING TO CHRIANNA DRAMA

    what she got on is ugly

  21. woop...Vox Populi

    I love it… and I don’t. She just about pulls it off, only a few artists have the quirky personality or ‘je ne sais quoi’ to pull an outfit like this e.g. Janelle Monae, Lady Gaga but it looks alright on her. She could’ve gone safe and wore an elegant dress but this is pretty haute even though I’m not feeling D&G’s Dynasty inspired puffy shoulders I’ve seen regardless of who’s wearing it. The make-up is flawless and I think most are glad she got rid of the hair.
    Overall…8/10

  22. EnameL

    LIKE AN EFFIN DIVA!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET IT.

  23. CIARA & KERI FANATICS

    is actually pretty good to see rihanna out in the publicity again(: i’ve been wondering and hoping when she’d finally come out(: she still has that weird, quirky style i see, good to see her out thogh:(

  24. Zion

    @Jai

    Ladies, y get so upset over CB, yes I think he will bounce back from all this with God’s help, but the brother has a problem and he needs to work that out behind closed door without the pap’s and media!! Y hate on another woman for something that was done to her. Everyone is not perfect there is a flaw somewhere but don’t put that on this girl.

    Now back to the pic above Rhi. regardless of what you think about her it’s HOT and you can not deny this. You can look for what’s wrong but your reaching hard. Love yah self and don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd even if this is her stylist or for Art it is still part of her personality. I still give it to her for being different. Hands down.

    Do you, be different, and overall be hot doing it!!!!!!
    ———————–

    Thank you. I would also like to thank Ericdwills for recognizing that Ri is a product just like Beyonce. I don’t see how you can like one and not the other, they both stand for the same thing..Promotion, Promotion, Promotion, and Promotion. I love the entire outfit.

  25. mrsjones

    sorrry to dissapoint you delusional stans, but lil miss sunshine is on the worst dressed list at fashionista101.com. ya’ll can cry now!

  26. BORED OF RIHANNA AND HER STANS

    @ MONA, bitch I think people like you need to stop kissing this stupid girl’s behind and stop praising her like she’s some God because she ain’t. The Bitch don’t even care about her fans, as long as you keep buying her records she’s happy, I could give her respect if she was talented and wasn’t an attention seeking ho, maybe if she spoke about her awful deal with the incident as the stupid white media keeps reporting and set the record straight rather then allowing rumours to spread faster then the swine flu disease, I could respect her If she put on good performances, I could respect her If she allowed herself to take a break instead of releasing an album every year to cash in and to keep her name in the headlines and in the music game, every minute, the charts won’t run away.

    This woman called Rihanna is all about the money, greed, she’s all about herself and cares about no one but herself, she’s enjoying playing the victim role and she is happy that all the white media are on her side, I bet the Bitch wishes she was White too, after all she did once claim she wanted to be the next Madonna.

    Nothing she does, goes back to her roots, she doesn’t even go back to her homeland for long either, she treats her own country like Holiday breaks only, she has let the fame and the money totally go to her head, by wearing this outfit she wants attention and secretly although she’s embaressed by the whole incident she is happy that she has the power of having the majority of people of all backgrounds, races, men and woman on her side, she happy that she is the one in control of Chris, whether she loves him still or not, that most be the ultimate payback on revenge for Chris hitting her that night, she’s also happy about the sympathy people are giving her, if she wasn’t she would be up front and speak about it, to clear a few things up but oh no, Little miss riri would rather remain slient but is happy to hit the clubs and be seen out at any opportunity.

    Why am I bringing race into this.
    Rihanna as a black person, doesn’t care about how much black fans she has, she’s happy to make music what will appeal to white people because they buy her music and it gives her huge sales worldwide, they promote her and big her up like the their very own Black Britney, I guess the same could be said about Beyonce but at least she has the talent, has been in the game for longer and knows how to do a show without disappointment, Beyonce always delivers, Rihanna never does.
    Rihanna was happy to quickly drop her original caribbean raggae sound to appeal to the mass and get more money.

    She wanted her and Chris to be the young power couple a bit like Jay and Bey,
    She wanted attention by wearing slutty clothes on stage to draw people away from her crap voice, she acted out the whole fake good girl gone bad shit as an fake image to promote herself and it worked for her but she always be a fake.

    DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE

  27. Sista

    Love it. Edgy and bold. She looks beautiful.

  28. tld

    Jayz knows something will all shood know that RIRI is the hottiest check in the game!!!!!!!

  29. Wow...

    Does Chris Browns’ name need to be mentioned in every post? Can we please move on from the ‘incident’? Some people make it seem like she came close to a near death experience. Rihanna is ok, but be real. That girl got into a fight and lost. I don’t understand how people can be so dense when it comes to situations like this. She aint Whitney, nor Tina so stop trying to prolong her career by using February 8th as an example.

    Oh and remember, people with talent don’t disappear that easy. Happy Birthday Chris.

    Anyway, this is actually a note worthy outfit. I like her hair, way better than the MJ09 look. The suit is actually nice minus the big elephant sleeves.

  30. mari

    although this is not my favorite look on rihanna, i must respect a chic who can wear something that is not that cute, and look fierce doing so. To those saying that rihanna can’t sing, try again. The girl constantly put out hits. She may not dance in her shows, but lots of artist don’t . Her style of music is pop, and it works for her. People are always saying she changed her style of music, artists are free to experiement with whatever sound of music they want. There is no rule saying that because your an island girl you should only sing reggae or calypso. On all of rihannas albums she has a mixture of different sounds on there. Let the girl live and do her, she ain’t taking no food out of your mouths is she?

  31. loveless

    Ugly is ugly …im not feeling that jacket, not one bit…for her to be so “fashion foward” she could have come up with something better

    Next!!!!

    (feel free to bash me for stating MY opinion!)

  32. fantasy ride5509

    i understand that it was a costume party, but this isnt rly a costume.
    the only positive thing i can say about this look is that i like her shoes, and the makeup makes her look like a doll. im not a hater,but i feel like riri is taking a step back into her life.

  33. beccasaurus

    she looks AMAZING!!!!

  34. ms. kayjelly

    @ mari sweetie not bcuz u put out hits after hits means dat u r talented. dont u see da music industry now? britney has hits after hits does dat make us 2 say she can sing? anyhooo i dont really like dis outfit from rihanna at all but i ave 2 give credits when its due she rocked and not everyone can do it as good unless yur name is victoria beckham or kelis. she brings out da outfit 2 life now dats wats up.

    @ 206 BORED OF RIHANNA AND HER STANS…….

    Do you know how ridiclous you look and sound? LOL The essay was sooo uneccossary and based simply on your idiotic opinion….you dont know that women! Obvouisly if you can talk that much about how much success she has and how its not right…Then congrats Rihanna, You really have made an impact!

    And FYI Shes Half Irish! Her Look and Sound is International, has nothing to do with race…..

  37. TBlaze

    She looks good. I really like Rihanna, I think she’s is so cute. But why is she wearing Kelis’ “Bossy” hair?

  38. Jai Jai

    Her hair looks a mess. The weave is fresh, but HER hair looks a mess. SMH and the suit. . . NO. Runway models could pull that fit off, but Robyn? NO. Her stylist should’ve re-thought this outfit. I don’t see any “comeback” here.

  39. SMH WAT IS WRONG????

    LMAOOO YALL BITCHES HATING ON SHORTY!! BUT I THINK RIRI GOT HER LIPS PLUMP

  40. Tianni

    That CB stuff is over & done with. Ya’ll need to dead that topic. It was OVER EXPOSED & OVER EXAGERATED. Damn they trying to move on with their lives.

    ANY-WAY:

    What the hell does RIHANNA have on? I saw this in the news paper today. UUUUGH! Look at the HUGE POOFY sleeves—she looks like a clown. Her & Madonna looked the WORST at that event to me. She’d look like a man if it was not for the heels & make up.

    YUK!—somebody call the FASHION POLICE QUICK! They needed to do a SWEEP on that RED CARPET! LOL!

  41. BORED OF RIHANNA AND HER STANS

    RIHANNA IS A SLUT SIMPLE AS, I AM SIGNING OUT
    BITCH WON’T LAST LONG, ONLY TIME WILL TELL

    F U RIHANNA STANS, CONTINUE TO KISS HER STINKY ASS

  42. LoveMuffin

    Well..I see the costume part! :)
    I think she looks stunning, so glad she took that weave volcano out of her head. But her real hair looks pretty dirty. Not a good look. Nice to see her at an event though..and not to be harsh but that bow tie did remind me of Janelle Monae. But people..tell me one mainstream person in the industry that is wearing something that someone else hasn’t worn. :???:

  43. DJ DAVE

    @ H-Town Chic***
    No one ever claimed that Rihanna was a GREAT singer but many of the top artists out right now are not..but they have that certain something that appeals to people. Her songs go #1 for that exact reason. She has IT. Not everybody can say that.It takes a special person to get up there and do what she does especially when you have crazy Chris Brown stalkers hoping you fail.

  44. DJ DAVE

    And I see now that all the hate is coming from Beyonce stans AND deranged Chris Brown stans. All on here talking about Happy birthday Breezy I love you! LMAO. You are so pathetic. Even if Rihanna was never born you still wouldn’t have a chance in hell with Chris. So find someone else to hate because you look ridiculous. Chris is probably at home laughing at you dumb broads right now.

  45. DJ DAVE

    @ BORED OF RIHANNA AND HER STANS

    Again I can tell that you are a bitter, unattractive woman. You’re probably a chris brown stan that talks to his pics on your wall at night. Oh breezy I love you. Kiss Kiss! That’s why you hate Rihanna so much. You claim to be bored of her yet you come to every Rihanna post just to tear her down. Again you FAIL. You should be used to it. I’m sure your whole life has been a failure that’s why you are so miserable. Don’t blame Rihanna she didn’t make you fat & ugly. Blame your parents for the ugly part. Blame the fatness on popeye’s chicken, pizza hut, dunkin donuts, krispy kreme, ect. She is unstoppable. Move on.

  46. tasha p

    @DJ DAVE,

    I can see you are another one of Rihanna’s programmed robots.

    Tell me one thing that is talented about Rihanna?

    She’s got a terrible voice
    She cant dance
    She cant write songs
    She cant produce music

    She is completely manufactured.

    At least Chris and Beyonce have raw talent.

    Chris sings, writes, produces, dances and acts.

    Rihanna has sold her soul to the devil and you are there kissing her ass going on like she is the best thing since sliced bread.

    Please i bet youre a lonely gay man.

    I’ve never met a straight man who likes Rihanna.

  47. tasha p

    @@ 206 BORED OF RIHANNA AND HER STANS…….

    I applaud you on your comment.

    @217. TAVIKIDD

    You are obviously one of Rihanna’s programmed robots.

    Instead of talking about her style and make up all the time why doesnt anyone ever compliment Rihanna on her performances or singing?

    Cause she’s a manufactured, watered down black wannabe Britney Spears with average looks and a terrible nasal voice. She does nothing but pose on a red carpet, she should be a model instead of a singer.

    She does everything to please her white fans. Beyonce has more talent in her little finger.

    She’s forgotten all about her West Indian roots and she’s sold her soul to the devil for money.

  48. vee

    @TAVIKIDD she’s not half-irish lmao have you seen her father? for a stan, you know very little about your idol

  49. Sammi

    Rihanna should be on the cover of the September issue of Vogue wearing this outfit.
    This is what fierce is.

  50. shelley

    @Tavikid, she is not half irish. her father is what west indians call a “red man” meaning he is very light skinned but black nonetheless. He has irish ancestry on his mother’s side.

  51. Mampy

    @ 227 DJ DAVIE

    “You’re probably a chris brown stan that talks to his pics on your wall at night. Oh breezy I love you. Kiss Kiss!” LMFAO so true!

    I find it funny how the Beyonce stans are so pressed that they feel the need to keep coming back posting and posting and posting away in Rihanna’s posts. It’s sad that they feel so threatened. *waves at Tasha P*

  52. i love me some chris paul but d@g he got trapped! CP3 Jr.

    hey riri!

  53. DJ DAVE

    LOL @ TASHA P

    Nah babe I’m far from a lonely gay man. You haven’t met a straight man that likes Rihanna? Well NOW you have.
    I will add you to the list of fat ugly women on CL that have nothing better to do than gang up on a pretty young girl like Rihanna.

    She doesn’t have to write her own songs, dance, or produce..they have people to do that. She’s the star. All she has to do is show up & show out.

    Rihanna has beauty
    Rihanna has brains
    Rihanna has stage presence
    Rihanna cranks out #1 hit after #1 hit
    Rihanna commands attention from everyone when she walks into a room. So I understand why a less attractive woman like you would feel intimidated.
    Rihanna has endorsements
    Rihanna has millions of fans all over the world
    Rihanna has movie credits
    Rihanna has a great future ahead of her & she will only continue to get bigger in the game.
    So she is on her job. You get on your job hater.

  54. mama..m

    Nisha no, 26 don’t compare this pretty thing with class to that Italian/American freak called lady gaga..Duh! !!!!!!!!!!! Rihanna is a real fashionista and she really rocked that D&G out fit and it’s nice to see her after that incident..Haters please stop blaming Rihanna for chris brown mistakes, he should have known that it’s wrong to batter a woman and instead sholud have thougth of his career..It’s Rihanna’s shine moment and no one will take it away from her, except God..She’s such a very lucky child and will soon replace the reigning queen..Queen bey LOL..Go gal..

  55. halcyon

    “She’s forgotten all about her West Indian roots and she’s sold her soul to the devil for money.”

    Did Busta forget about his West Indian roots because he’s a rapper?
    Did Heavy D.?
    Did Redman?
    Did Biggie?
    Did Ciara?

    FYI, Caribbean people listen to all types of music. Jazz is really huge in the Caribbean (my father is a musician back home). People really ought to get out more.

  56. theshoppingdiva

    RiRi can rock anything and look incredible! Her height and beauty makes her a canvas for the designers! They just love her!
