WHO ROCK’D IT BETTER: MONICA vs. RIHANNA IN MARC JACOBS JACKET
Friday, May 8, 2009

For this edition of ‘Who Rock’d It Better’ we have singers Monica and Rihanna wearing the same Marc Jacobs Yellow Leather Jacket during recent outings and gigs.
Monica rock’d it first on the set of the hot new video with Keyshia Cole she filmed last month and Rihanna opted to remove the belt and rock it when she was out clubbing in NYC earlier this week. Take your pick.

Monica Killed it w/ the leather pants and thigh high boots. Why on earth would Rihanna try to make the jacket casual with the grunge jeans and raggedy motorcycle or whatever boots?! Ughh..

HAHA LOL! I think this is the 1st time Rhianna has LOST a who rocked it better & Monica Wore it 1st!
C!early MONICA Ripped the sh!t out this Jacket! The closed belt and pants made it look sophisticated!
Rhianna ripped pants and mid-riff top made the Jacket look SO-SO

I would say Monica if she wasn’t overstyled…it’s too much…maybe if she had understated hair or something… But you’ve got to realize Monica is styled from head to toe and wearing it to make a video while Rihanna is literally wearing the thing out…It sort of makes it funny that Monica took the thing so serious when you see Rihanna out at night in it like it’s a plaid shirt

They both need to stop worrying about fashion,
Monica needs to come out with an album and Rihanna needs to go to therapy

I like how Rihanna wore the jacket. She kept it simple and nice.
Monica got too much craziness going on with her outfit. Leather thigh high boots, leather pants, and leather jacket.

Can we all say SWAG ON DECK! But I HAVE to go with Monica on this one. Girl is looking FIERCE despite how much praising is done on Rihanna, yes, she can dress her a$$ off but Monica has this one HANDS DOWN! Hair on point and fit is looking right! Monica has REALLY stepped her fashion game up over the years and anyone who remembers Monica from back in the day can def confirm that she’s def completely changed her fashion game for the better. And she killed that video with K. Cole, stole the girls video and she was only supposed to be a FEAT. Now that’s some REAL talent for that a$$!!!

#26 Of course she stole the song/video, Monica can SANG SANG… Keyshia has a mediocre voice. Monica does not. Plus, they have that same sort of “street glamour” look…Monica’s a pretty girl. WHich is why I HATE that she’s overstyled…

Oh n let me start by saying I am BOTH a monica and Rhianna Fan I just give credit when its due!

oh and let me add Monica really CAN SING! unlike our gril Rhi. SO please stop the MADDNESS.
@10 Black jeans are played out for real lol! U can tell the days when Rhi’s stylist didn’t style her. To be honest without her the chick can’t dress!

Educated Goon,
Who in the hell believes Monica looks old and is getting old? This is such a stupid @$$ comment. An individual is not a “Legal Adult until 21″ Monica is only 28, therefore technically an adult for ONLY 7 YEARS and you want to retire the girl as an old woman already? Straight Stupid! Maybe you are not so educated after all, but is just a Goon.

I’ll give this one to Monica! And DANG her for still being that SKINNY after two kids!! LMBO!!
Rihanna always looks like she’s trying too hard to be edgy, imo! Especially these days. I thought her style was cute before, but now it’s so over the top.

The obi belt on Monica is way too distracting for this already flashy jacket. Why do Atlanta women always have to wrap belts around every dayum thing they wear?! (I live in ATL, so I can say this) The Members Only leggings are nice, but the boots make the outfit overkill……unless she has a “gig” in Vegas soon (if you know what I mean). Once again, Ri-Ri knocks ‘em dead, but she is the BIZNESS when she wears heels! Which, I would’ve preferred other than the flat boots.

I’m sorry but Rihanna rocked this look. Monica is quite irrelevant and has been for a couple of years now.
The last time I saw Monica, she had blonde hair and was looking crazy as hell with that look.
When Rihanna came out with the jet black short hair, Miss Monica did a switch back to black.

It’s cute on both of them, but Monica’s entire fit looks better….luv RiRi but not really feelin’ the rusted black jeans w/ the jacket!!!

HA, I am glad Monica is winning so far, based on the poll results, no surprise yet again, the Rihanna stans are hating on anyone up against their girl, their princess Riri, the ass they kiss all the time. This site is full of pathetic Rihanna stans, ass kissers.
I bet I have hurt a Rihanna stan this minute, lol
I think people are sick of Rihanna and not just me

Oh get out of Rihanna’s ass already OMG Monica been doing it for years now u better hope Rihanna will last half of how long Mo been in th game
Okay well if u Wanna say that Rihanna is copying off of Kelis swagga Cuz as I re-call Kelis color and cut her hair short and black back in 2005
I think if anyone is copying someone that would Rihanna if u wanna take it to a childs lvl
Oh yea Beyonce did the bob in 2003 in her video
Hold up Kelly Rowland was rockin the short hair when DC came out , yea Halle Berry , Toni Braxton so Rihanna is copying all of them rite… Yeah Think about it…

@ Pop Star
I’m not saying that other arist didn’t have short hair. All I’m saying at the time Rihanna came out with the Jet Black short hair no other artist was sporting jet black hair at the time. Everyone was on the blonde hair bandwagon and was either wearing blonde long hair or blonde short hair. That’s one of the reasons Rihanna stood out more.
Monica always had short hair but I had never seen it jet black like it is now. This is the first time. I saw her with blonde hair and it was horrible on her.

The jacket looks cute on both of them, but I like it better on Monica. I like her accessories and the belt with the jacket looks better.
@Sammi-You’re saying Monica didn’t have jet black hair until Rihanna wore it? LOL. Sweetie go to You Tube and watch Monica’s videos “For You I Will” and “Why I Love You So Much” and “Ain’t Nobody” featuring Treach. She is clearly rocking jet black short hair and those were music videos from the 90s. And I still don’t understand why some people acting like Rihanna wore short black hair first. Are you serious? Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, Hallle Berry, Fe Fe Dobson, Kelis, Monica, Monifah, the list goes on forever. Like I said the other day, it has to be really young people on this site to act like some of these celebrites they idolize are the first to wear anything and everything. I’m only 23 saying that but it’s the truth and just ridiculous. SMH.
