Rihanna’s Valentine’s Day Photocall
February 15, 2010 in Rihanna by Versus
Rihanna was spotted at a promotional photocall session in Sydney this Sunday, where she revealed a new hairdo and her nice tummy.
Rihanna’s style-related questions have been asked a million times, but what do you guys think of this ensemble?
See some more after the jump!
she has an amazing body, shes so beautiful and shes def a fashion icon.
Anyone who is anyone in the fashion would respectfully disagree. Rihanna is the definition of a “fashion victim”. She proves that just because you can afford something, doesn’t mean you should wear it.
That’s exatly my thoughts
same here
not really, she is a fashion icon. Do have any idea how much she is paid to attend fashion shows? Is much more than people pay Beyonce and Lady Gaga. And I’m talking about fashion shows like Chanel.
I studied fashion design, and she is a fashion DON’T. Style is key, not wearing all the latest trends at once. She’s fashion overkill. And that bloody hair gahhhhhhhhhh!
So why people like Karl Lagerfeld, The Blondes, Christian Dior, Max Azria and John Galliano like her so much? They pay her $100,000 ( or more) to attend their fashion shows. Why would they want a DON’T at their front row?
Fashion icon or a victim, the designers might just be paying her to show up bc it brings them publicy and attracts young crowds, or whoever, but the main point is they prolly think Riri’s gonna benefit their business. In general, maybe there are some exceptions that ask Rihanna for some other reasons.
have to agree! but she is so gorgeous she seems to get away with it! everyone keeps going on about how she has matured and foudn her own style. i liked the old jeans and trainers rihanna. she should go back to the hairstyle she had in the don’t stop the music video.
One persons fashion icon is another persons fashion don’t. Therefore, I don’t think it is right to say that anyone in fashion (which is the industry I happen to be in and have my BA or fashion design) would disagree that she is a fashion icon. There is no ONE voice. The whole idea of fashion and couture is that every vision and POI in one of a kind. So generalizing that EVERYONE in fashion thinks she is “overkill’ or a fashion disaster is an insult to the Fashion Industry in itself.
On a lighter note. This girl is GORGEOUS. How about being more positive and at least giving a compliment with constructive criticism. This girl has something very special no matter what her fashion choices are.
oh god- the hair, the clothes = horrible
on the upside her body is amazing, really sexy
Her outfit irritates me (again). For my taste it’s always a little bit too much. I don`t know where to look at and to concentrate on. One time it`s too naked, the next time too coulourful, then too tight, patterns… assymetric cuts and sometimes all at the same time. I prefer a more natural style. And as she is a amazing perfomer, has great songs and is very beautiful she doesn`t need to get attention by her outfits. But that`s just my opinion.
she looks absolutely rediculous. in no way is this ensemble “fashionable”. she looks like a joke. It also is extremely unflattering which just proves my point even more.
Im getting really sick of people trying to dress like Lady Gaga to be cool! a year ago people laughed at her for wearing what she wears and now of course everyones copying her now that shes so popular. I dont know but I think i would rather be the trend setter than follower!!!
Lady Gaga wasn’t the inventor of dressing weirdly. Way before her, people like Madonna, Britney, hell even Lil Kim were just as outrageous in their style as her. And there were those even before them. Remember KISS and Marilyn Manson?
I just think it’s strange how every time someone dresses weirdly they are accused of “copying Gaga.” Nah, they’re just dressing weirdly because it’s an attention-catcher.
Exactly.
Probably, most of the people will say that her outfit is horrible, that white pants don’t suit her at all. I actually think she dresses herself very well, she takes a lot of risks and she embraces her body and her- very hot- curves amazingly well. I do believe she’s an icon and and I am sure we will continue seeing her on this market a long time from now on.
why does she have to wear terribly unflattering outfits most of the time?
i LOVE IT! she always takes something which seems will not work and she makes it work together. she has a very good sense of fashion/stylist.
with the hair, she looks like a dog
i really like her and i love her body, it’s fit and curvy, but her hairstyle is really really bad
I’m not liking it… I hate the hair, it’s about as anti-feminine as it can get… it’s the ugliest I’ve seen on her… seriously, by now I’m actually wishing she went back to the mohican thing…
And there is too much going on with the outfit, maybe the same shirt with black jeans would look good on her…
UGH…I wish this girl would just go away. She annoys me. I’m just not seeing the talent or the style icon that some people see.
I love this outfit. It’s all over the place yes, but I think it’s cute. And yes her hair may be ridiculous, at least the color is, but I like the fact that she loves short hair and keeps it short.
she looks like a dog,,,, but her body is great,,, this hair doesnt look good on her
I like that she has got her own wacky style.
Not my cup of day but still. What a boring world it would be if we all dressed the same. Same with GAGA. I would never be seen dead in the stuff she wears, but i respect that she has got her own wacky style.
just eww
what happened to her “SOS” days:(
She hated that girly style, her record label made her dress that way. Now she is just herself.
With this hair her head looks like a beechnut
And her eyes look so tired (2nd pic)
her hair looks terrible!
Hmm..I think someone else could be able to make the outfit work, but imho she’s not pulling it off. Not my favorite hairstyle on her. If nothing else, i’d like to see her in darker hair.
I dislike 99% of what this girl wears, and now she has managed to make her hair look worse. When will it end?
I think that she has a really great body.
For such a pretty girl with a great body, it’s amazing to me why she chooses to make herself so ugly. Even more astounding is how she made herself the hated one after her incident with Chris Brown by dressing like a wh*** all the time. I just can’t understand why anyone would do that to their career, and themselves.
I really don’t see it that way. Why should she care what other people think of how she dresses or does her hair, life is way too short to care about silly things like that. If she likes her hair this way and she likes to dress in outlandish outfits that is fine with me, who am I to judge? Could she possibly be seeking attention? Sure that is possible. Could she just be dressing the way she wants to dress? Absolutely! If it makes her happy I think that is fine. In your opinion she may look ugly but she obviously doesn’t think so. I have spent a lot of time worrying about what others think and say about me and realize that it is pointless, she should dress and style her hair and makeup in whatever way makes her happy IMO.
I’m usually pretty open minded about style, but lately her outfit choices have outright been trashy…too revealing, not flattering…etc. The feeling I got from her was that she was either rebelling, or desperate. And this is not just my own opinion, a lot of people would agree with me, as they have in older posts of Rihanna when she was dressing trashy.
Yeah she should first and foremost be comfortable, but how many people are truely comfortable with their breasts and a** vividly hanging out? The thing is that, I don’t believe her dressing like this making her happy or comfortable.
It also seems like a poor career move to me to alienate your fans; I believe her record sales aren’t doing too well nowadays. That’s what I don’t understand.
She has only just released her third single from the album.
It is too early. It has sold well so far.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rated_R_(Rihanna_album)
The album debuted at number four on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 181,000 copies in its first week, making it Rihanna’s highest-selling debut in the United States
Hardly poor sales lol
Worldwide album sales have already reached 2,000,000 making it her fastest selling album to reach 2,000,000 to date.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rated_R_(Rihanna_album)
AGREE!!
Poor as compared to before. Because her album sales really are poorer now than in the past.
Sorry Casey but that is rubbish. Chris Brown’s career is nearly dead.
Maybe she is more hated to you. Rihanna dresses no different to the rest of the female singers (Britney/Beyonce/Gaga/shakira etc. You don’t like her style (fair enough) but others like that she has her own style. You don’t speak for the world casey lol!. She was awarded woman of the year and got a standing ovation from the crowd.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xge8oKGsosw&feature=related
Would Chris Brown have got an standing ovation from the crowd if he won man of the year. I doubt it. Any award show she gets wildly cheered. If anything she has gained a lot of new female fans.
Just search around the internet, like other websites, YouTube, or even polls on talk shows and you will see what I mean. You may disagree with me (and I disagree that she SHOULD be the more hated one), but you don’t speak for the world either.
I don’t, but i have noticed she is getting a lot more cheers at award shows. You have based your views on a load of angry Chris Brown fans. I have noticed that a lot on you tube. The internet has a lot of haters for celebs now. I always judge them at how the crowd reacts at events.
But then how do you explain comments and criticism from her own fans? I’m not talking about the Chris Brown sympathizers
, I’m talking about her own fans saying how they used to like her but she has changed so much…etc. The incident itself probably made her more likeable, because a lot of women could relate to having gone through that. But it’s her actions since then that have really disappointed a lot of people.
eh, that always happens when a band/singer transitions into fame. The more famous they are, the more disgruntled early fans bitch and moan. People want their idol to stay EXACTLY the same, no change, no more fans, no musical changes, nothing. Its silly; singers/bands who do that stagnate and disappear.
I’ve never been a big Rihanna fan, but I think she’s interesting…
I think the sales speak quite clearly.
Chris Brown: As of today, still less than 500,000 units sold.
Rihanna: As of today, Platinum certification (this indicates 1,000,000 albums sold).
As for her record sales not doing too well-No one’s sales are. Sales have been down for well over a decade. This has to do with several factors. Her singles do quite well on internet retailers. This is a common problem today though. Many artists can simply be called “singles” artists. Why buy a crap CD for 15 bucks when you can get the three decent songs on it for 2.98? Or you can just steal it. I don’t condone that though. Quality is also an issue. I’ve worked in music, entertainment and such for a long time. These are not new issues. It’s been going on since the late 90′s. It’s not something Rihanna did really. It’s just a fact of life. People are not buying music much anymore.
Frankly, I don’t know how one dresses like a whore. I know plenty of women who are whores who dress rather modestly. This outfit isn’t racy. It’s just her stomach and shoulders showing.
agree with ann
I agree with Casey COMPLETELY. She’s 100% right about Rihanna.
i don’t see what her situation with chris have to do with her style choices and i don’t agree with every style choice she does but i like the fact she is different and not being the same like others. plus chris fans hate her more on youtube than her own fans. and a lot of hollywood women dress like w**res lately but rihanna doesn’t look like one now and i’m glad.
After the situation with Chris Brown, her style drastically changed, that’s why I bring it up. She looks fine here, but remember, she doesn’t get posted on here every time she goes out. Search for her other outfit choices and you will see that her clothing is extremely provocative, unnecessary, and unflattering. She calmed down a little, but for a good few months, it was consistantly appaling what she wore.
i love the bottom half of her outfit (the top and necklace not so much)!
i want to steal it
she is always so pretty to me.
1 word…wrong…
her body is awesome:)
lol mushroom head
She gets away with dressing like this because she has an accent. At least in my book.
Her new music video has even worse outfits. Catchy song though.
Kaleidoscope, optical illusion, the Rorschach Test… am I missing something? xD
P.d: Shoes are cute.
I like her hair. It looks much better than that weird poodle thing she’d been rocking recently. While I think her style choices are often blah, I like the fact that she changes up her look and just does what she wants.
She’s a beautiful girl but I hate the hair. It looks like a mushroom cut you give 4 year old boys…
she looks horrible……………she used to be soooo pretty and now she always looks like crap
Rihanna needs to stop trying so freaking hard. She doesn’t have the body for these kinds of outfits, and frankly, she’s not very pretty either.
i think her body looks fine with the outfits she chooses so i disagree.
Well, I don’t care if you disagree. She is a chunky out of proportion pear shape with a body not made for fashion. Not to mention her head is way too small for her body. That’s what I think.
no need for attitude and she’s not chunky. just because she doesn’t have that body shape that fashion designers go for doesn’t mean she can’t dance that suits her body. say what you want but i like the way she is.
Fine. But I still think she’s chunky.
sure lc. i don’t see chunky anywhere on rihanna. she happens to have a fit body.
lc, actually bigvinamac is perfectly right; you can’t just say it’s your opinion she’s chunky if she is not. There is fact and there is opinion. Fact is, Rihanna is not pin thin, but also fact is she is very fit and rocks her shape. So, you lose. Look at her nice, flat, muscular tummy. How is that even remotely chunky? eesh
lp23: word
It is not a fact that she is not chunky. How? I don’t care for her figure, and that is my opinion. I can say it is my opinion if she is chunky. I happen to not think she rocks her shape at all, actually.
Well, imo, water does not boil at 100 degrees C. And it is not a fact because I do not care about it.
*facepalm*
Sorry Uma, I fail to see your point…? I don’t care who cares. That’s what I think, and I will continue to think it no matter what.
Nobody on here cares what you think.
You hate everyone on here. You bring nothing but negativity to the board.
LC why are you so negative about everyone?
Is it that you are trolling.
I don’t care who cares. I’m going to say it anyway. I don’t care what you think, do I? NO. I’m not negative to everyone, as I have stated in the past, I just truly feel what I said about Rihanna. You can look through other posts I have done and see that I am not always negative, but only in instances where I feel it’s appropriate.
So why was it appropriate now? Why is it ever appropriate or someone to be completely negative and downright mean. Your opinion is your opinion and that is fine, I could care less what you think, but it is how you express it, whether you like it or not it shows something about what kind of person that you are. You can think what you want about anyone but it is truly unfortunate that you are unable to open your mind to accept and see beauty in other body types. I have seen your other posts, you will say it is untrue but you do like the stick thin body type and nothing else. Why do you jump to something so negative when you see a body that does not fall into your ideal type? Why not look at the body and find something positive about it? Every body type is beautiful in its own way but you refuse to see that, you immediately try to think of the meanest comment and then post it. She doesn’t have the body for this, she’s chunky, her body is not made or fashion, who are you to say that? You have never once tried to say something positive or even neutral about a body that isn’t your perfect type. Do you want everyone to be your perfect type and look exactly the same, how boring would that be? I really do hope that you try to not be so mean and try to see beauty in other bodies.
People don’t like here. It’s not a matter of national security. The girl has a right to dislike if she so wishes. She can say whatever she likes. It’s a free freaking country (well, slightly anyway) last time I checked.
Thank you, ann! Every time I post an OPINION of mine, people jump all over me. Why, I don’t know. It’s MY opinion. And they’re actually wrong half the time anyway. I like Adriana Lima, Candace Swanepoel, and Irina Sheik. They are NOT stick thin. With Rihanna, I dislike her, she’s obnoxious, tries WAY too hard, and just looks like a hot mess as of late. Maybe she looks bad to me because her clothes are beyond unflattering all the time, because, honestly, they are.
Hey you cannot reason with mean spirited people.
I have tried. The poster should post a few pictures and us guys at work will judge if she is hotter than Rihanna. I doubt it. Can the poster back it up. No excuses now. I have seen you be mean about a lot of people on here. Back it up.
Back it up? Hah. I DO think that my body is thinner than hers, and I’d take mine over hers ANY day.
I new you couldn’t back it up. You are only fooling yourself girl.
You will never be as hot Rihanna. Peace out!
Again, I’d rather look like MYSELF than her, thanks. Ha, in no way is she hot. I’m probably half her weight. Lol.
Since when do cheap looking brassy chili bowls look good?
Call it “original” or whatever else the media is spewing these days but it looks hilarious.
Rihanna is a very small head on a pear shape who dresses horribly. That’s all I see.
Sorry, I’m not so easily impressed.
Awful. Why would anyone want to dress like this?
Bring something to the debate like casey does lc.
Your constant fat jibes at curvy celebs is a bit childish imo.
Constant? I would think not. I just don’t care for this person’s figure.
…or any other curvy figure. I completely agree lp23.
Nope. I like curves, i.e., Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, Irina Sheik.
Agreed you like curves in terms of body measurements but not in terms of having some meat on your bones and having bigger breasts, a butt, and thicker legs. It is your opinion and that is fine, never did I say I had a problem with that, it is the way you express it which is obnoxious and rude.
Well, I can say what I want. if you can’t take it, don’t reply to my posts.
Well, I can say what I want. If you can’t take it, don’t respond to my posts. Besides, why don’t you harass anyone else here? I’ve said kind things compared to some.
The outfit isn’t something you would wear but it would look really good in a fashion shoot!! So for this reason I like it! The hair….hideous.. please stop Rihanna.You look like a monk!!
