October 6, 2009 3:37 pm
Some of your opinions have differed, but we’ve generally been pretty impressed with Rihanna’s Parisian ensembles so far this week. Sure, she likes trendy clothes from avant-garde designers, but she tones it down by wearing lots of black. That move isn’t brain surgery, but you’d be surprised. And in the inevitable battle of Fashion Versus Wearer that ensues when a celebrity borrows clothes from designers to wear to their shows, Riri more often than not comes out on top. That’s why we’ll forgive her strange misstep at Chanel this morning, when the pop star wore an ill-fitting bustier and skirt with a ridiculously heavy-looking tangle of chains, all topped off by a CC-emblazoned quilted muff-bag. Thoughts on the subject?
I rarely say this about her style, but over-accessorized as she is, I would totaly wear it! Luv it!
By flightofthedreamer on 10/6/09 at 4:00 pmmaybe it’s just the lighting, but every time i see rihanna, i think she’s white. in ads, and especially here. what happened to her skin? it used to be such a pretty color.
By tealiss on 10/6/09 at 5:01 pmShe’s great but i just think she tries a bit hard and that she would gain more respect if she chanelled (cheeky pun!) her own style instead of entire outfits copied from the runway.
By gbayly on 10/6/09 at 5:14 pmThis look isn’t bad but I’ve seen Rihanna look beter. I wish she would of worn a Chanel jacket with this ensamble.
her makeup is too heavy.
By chicnoir on 10/6/09 at 6:59 pmDefinitely ill fitting, and she doesn’t have the legs or body for that outfit. She should wear a fuller skirt.
By Amina65 on 10/6/09 at 7:02 pmI think, she looks according to the show mood. And: better than some of the models in the show. Definitely!
By Welina on 10/6/09 at 7:29 pmThe muff-bag is strange here…
If she had long hair she would’ve been picture-perfect
By paty1505 on 10/6/09 at 11:18 pmas far as pop star goes…
By jA_1 on 10/6/09 at 11:30 pmRIRI
nailed it.
how many people can pull off the ensemble is the better question! Not many. But this sweetie looks tres chic.
Chanel is not just about the brand, it is about how the wearer is living the outfit. Coco said : “The poetry of fashion lies in creating illusion.” The illusion Rhianna is creating is that of a hooker on struttin her butt down Sunset Blvd.
A sheer organdy shrug would have made the look ‘bare-able’
By shop4promdotcom on 10/7/09 at 12:10 amShe looks really uncomfortable & awkward and the clothes look too small for her. Not at all flattering just a bit tacky!
By sophierose22 on 10/7/09 at 1:43 amI say she’d look amazing minus the chains

By Resh on 10/7/09 at 2:08 amAnother miss.
By shawanda on 10/7/09 at 3:05 amMeh, messy. It looks like she was off to a good start but then just went terribly wrong….
By Original_Sophie on 10/7/09 at 4:54 amthe look is brilliant, very balanced. if only she had bought the clothes in her OWN size…
By opinion on 10/7/09 at 6:38 ami d be less crazy if she wore anything less crazier, lovin the accessories
By hahahehe on 10/7/09 at 6:39 amRidiculous hair. Yes, her chains are weighing her down. Her boobs are about to pop out. The bustier, the skirt, the accessories, the hair … nothing matches the other. And I don’t think Riri “more often than not comes out on top”. She looked like a stripper-cum-S&M freak in her Good Girl Gone Bad tour. And some people compare her with Beyonce? Please …
By adhitawakal on 10/7/09 at 7:06 amThis cannot be fair treatment, no matter what the woman’s taste might be like. Where did the film broke?
By NotMod on 10/7/09 at 10:32 amThe photographer must be as merciless as that skirt. Make it fair!
By NotMod on 10/7/09 at 10:36 amFail. Fail. Fail. EPIC FAIL. Spending a lot of money and/or buying from a kick ass designer does not ensure that it will look good. Ditto what gbayly said.
By evanvoast on 10/7/09 at 4:11 pmBy all means, of curse, you bet…
By NotMod on 10/8/09 at 7:37 ami don’t like the top. not best rihanna choice!
