When I first saw Rihanna in this strange contraption of an outfit, I only saw it from the chest up, and I thought, “Oh, what’s the big deal?” Seriously, it could have been cool. The neckline is sexy, the fabric is interesting, and the shade is lovely. But what f-cking designer picks up this fabric and thinks, “Leggings… combined with parachute pants, attached to a billowy sleeved blouse, with a navel-grazing neckline… and throw in some goddamn massive shoulder pads too!” Oh, it’s some dude named Alexandre Vauthier, that’s who designed it. These dumb massive shoulders are his “thing”. Gah. Trust a dude to make women look like linebackers.
Anyway, this is what Rihanna decided to wear to the Echo Awards in Berlin. I wonder what the Germans thought of her. Between the Shiloh bowl cut, the outfit, and the shoulder pads, I’m not sure Rihanna is the best ambassador for any music scene.

It’s obviously a Halloween costume! That is the only reason anyone would make an outfit like this! Right? LOL
She looks like a food vendor turned pole dancer/ night stripper going for her first gig.
She looks like a fierce pterodactyl circa 1987
what the f is that? She obviously hates herself.
Oh no, you can tell she thinks she’s sportin’ a “sexy” look but WHOOPSIE she just actually looks like a backup singer about to go on stage at a Las Vegas Gumby review.
Her nails are offending me more than the outfit.UGH. I am not hating the outfit so entirely in concept, it could of been executed better though.
It looks like it was made in a high school Home Ec. class. Or made it herself LOL…okay I hate it now.
Wow, not only is it a horrible outfit, but she looks bad in it too!!! I have said it before, she is channeling Grace Jones. (but not well)
Why the EFF is her neck three different shades?? The shadows??
Just horrible.
And please grow your hair out or get extensions or something!!
Ursula – too funny! LOL
Perpetual state of shrug.
And fug. Shrug fug.
She looks like the a new Robin in the old batman series
@Alexis – TOTALLY.
It looks like a sky diving suit.
I would like to see her go to Walmart…where most of us poor Americans shop…and pick out an outfit. A regular, normal outfit. Better yet…she could go to Target or Marshalls! Ever since her troubles last year with Chris Brown…it seems she is going to great lengths to look slutty and sluttier! What a shame. I don’t care what her nipples look like any more…I have seen them way too much! Who is picking out her clothes?!?
All jokes aside…I could rock the HELL out of that outfit!!!
Then again…I’m six feet tall…and don’t need those shoulder pads to make a statement…and would wear different shoes….
Actually…Rhi-Rhi’s “Moe” cut is offending me a HELL of a lot worse than that outfit EVA WILL!!!
It’s different. I kind of like it actually. I mean – in a way – she (and Beyonce, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Britney, CHER) partly IS a showgirl. I don’t think she’s SUPPOSED to wear a normal-looking outfit. Duh! Also, I’ve seen pics of friends partying in Germany – and the peeps there were dressed EXTREMELY different. Rihanna will fit in just fine.
Every since Chris beat her up she has been going nuts.Poodlemom,you are right,although it isnt just that she is trying to be more slutty,she also is trying to dress like lady gaga or something,and Im sorry but its DUMB.She looks like a idiot every time I see her picture.Now I like nothing about her.
She looks fine from the ankles down.
She looks like Gumby’s slower sister
is it too early to make a, “someone needs to slap her.” joke? if so, ignore. if not, enjoy…
gumby gone bad.
Green flying squirrel!
IMO i dont think there is anything wrond with the outfit. back in the day J-Lo (dont kill me) could have pulled that off. Or any other number of women with her physique. Her problem is…
SHE FAKING IT!!! so she looks totally uncomfortable and stupid. she often wears things just for the style and not because they are a fit for her. def of a loser
As my beloved Lainey of Laineygossip would say, “This outfit is not one that anybody else would wear, which is exactly the reason why Rihanna is wearing it”. I’m paraphrasing but she has made similar comments about the choices MK and Ashley make as well as Gwynneth.
I too dislike the Moe/Shiloh haircut but I’m all for youth expressionism so go ahead and rock this look, Rihanna. She has been working the edgy thing ever since her “Good Girl Gone Bad” albun. Coincidentally, I never cared for her before and found her singing voice annoying. This edgy look and her 2nd album has completely turned me into a fan.
Gah! I’m sick of everyone picking on Rihanna’s & Lady Gaga’s fashion choices. Clearly, these clothes are performance art–creative, statement-making outfits acknowledging that a performer’s brand, identity and performance extend beyond the stage to the red carpet. These are not clothes that either of these women would wear to the grocery store, or, for that matter, to a cocktail party.
Not feeling that outfit Rhi-Rhi.
DBK- Fashion Statements? … okay, I’ll bite …
-“I’m Gumby Dammit!”
My god that ‘outfit’ is horrid, it looks like it is for base jumping. Her hair looks like it was inspired by either Pete Rose or Moe Howard.
I think it’s interesting to look at.
It is very gumby though, LOL
I could allow the outfit if it weren’t such a slap in the shoe. Sacrilege.
Let me explain to you her gear it’s portraying all the haters green with envy.You go figure.
With no underwear and all that polyester… eeew.
Fashionable swamp monster.
That’s all I have to say.
Holy crap! It’s like a steamroller hit Gumby!

No kidding. That ensemble has yeast infection written all over it. I would HATE to be the dry cleaner in charge of that outfit.
AAAGGGHHH RAGE RAGE RAGE.
That designer is shit. Elbow pads are stupid and he’s stupid. And Rihanna’s stupid for thinking it’s cool. She looks like a Cirque du Soleil pterodactyl from the 80s.
she just tries too hard.
Gaga tries too hard …can´t we just stick to Gwen Stefani? Edgy but not wacky anyone?
Yikes that outfit and her hair is just horrible she is such a pretty girl why is she making herself look so ugly?
She should’ve carried the makeup all the way down her chest, because that looks odd. I’m not liking the bowl cut on her. And as for the outfit, she should choose a different designer.
I want to see her flap those wings while running around clucking like a chicken.
Nice shoes, though…..
Well..it serves to keep people talking about her, because they obviously aren’t talking about her music.
