May 4, 2009 Hate It or Love It: Rihanna
Superstar Rihanna stepped on the red carpet giving us straight divatude in NYC at “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion” Costume Institute Gala Monday night. Are you loving her Dolce & Gabbana twist on the traditional bow tie suit? I think it’s just splendiferously divine!

I love the suit. . .but I wish she had been assertive like that when she was dealing with Chris Brown. . .BTW I think she should have wore this cut the way J.LO wore it in Instyle. . .with short pants and a long bow–but still a cute suit!

For some odd reason, this outfit reminds me of that old Missy Elliot video with the garbage bag. But all in all, the only part I can’t get into are the sleeves. But then again, the sleeves are the whole shabang.

I’m sorry, i really am, but just looking at Rihanna makes me angry cuz I really dislike her. lol…I feel so bad for saying that tho…but it’s how i feel.

I love it. She’s so next level. I feel like some people just shouldnt comment because their sense of fashion is limited and regional, they really dont know how to think outside the box – all they know its whats good in the hood and casket sharp – or what may appear to them as elegant. It’s fashion, it’s art – this aint no off the shelf ish. It’s “costume gala institute” – it’s not supposed to be boring and normal. This is definately out there, but she pulls it off like no other. She’s so 3008….you know the rest…

Ok i don’t like her in the first place but she is crossing the line with this outfit, now i cant even dislike her anymore i am beginning to pity her

I know the look she was going for (and she’s so cute) you can’t help but say this look works, but I would have preferred her to go more “sassy” with it. She has such a killer body – she could have even gotten away with some short-shorts, black high heels, more tailor cut jacket to show her curves etc, but the masculine look definitely works for her.

Compared to the real models and alot of the other women this is major FAIL. I mean have you seen the other dresses, HAVE YOU SEEN THEM? GORGEOUS! sorry for the caps but the best dressed arent featured on alot of these blogs.

uh no. don’t get me wrong, I heart the suit and RiRi but the shoulders HAVE to exit stage left…make it stop! Why!?!!! if the shoulders weren’t so ridiculous then and only then would I declare her the Smokey Mc’Hotness.
