Rihanna’s Stage Outfit – Flattering or Unflattering?
January 1, 2010 in Rihanna by Versus

Horizontal stripes on thighs… is not the first thing a style advisor would recommend a pear-shaped girl to wear, but Rihanna’s thought it looked great and wore this number on stage at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates yesterday night.
What do YOU think?
Rihanna’s Stage Outfit – Flattering or Unflattering?

unflattering!
bizarre,actually.
in the 1st pic her legs look enormous!
I think it is a little much to call her legs enormous! I agree they look larger than normal but I still think they look shapely and healthy and good on her. She is also wearing those stripes so obviously that is going to make them look wider. I think the outfit is obviously out there and weird but its Rihanna, that is what she likes to wear and I think she pulls it off fine. She is not wearing this out and about running errands or something it is a stage outfit. I am preparing myself for scrolling down glancing through these comments which I expect will go on and on about how gross and fat she is. I hope you girls on this site are just insecure and want to say mean things, that would be better than actually thinking this girl is fat which would mean you are probably unhealthy and much too thin. Everyone have a great day and stay healthy and happy don’t let the media make you feel like you have to live up to something.
SAUSAGES…
Looks like she gained some….
well, I can’t wait to see all the comments about how fat she is and how people would never want to be her size and etc. You know, I realize this is a website about body size of famous people but all the eating disordered commenters on this site are making me not want to visit anymore. God this girl is like a size 6 maybe and I know we’re in for 47 comments about how gross she is. SIGH.
i agree, sometime i think this site is an outlet for anorexics. some of the most normal size women are called ‘fat’ by some people posting comments which is totally alien to me
There must be a lot of Victoria Beckham’s types on here.
Her body is stunning. I will admit to being a bit jealous.
Agree – I find it really odd and also hurtful as I’m just a regular weight myself (healthy BMI but not skinny).
I guess you just have to remember the a celebrity weight gossip site is going to attract those types of people and their opinion is not reflective of the main population.
You know, there is such a thing as a non-extreme pov.
I’m not going to call her fat.
I’m not going to call her the most beautiful person in the world either.
That outfit is HORRIBLE. It CREATES lumps on her legs, making them look more untoned then they really are. I can’t believe anyone in their right mind would deliberately try to look like that.
So what I’m going to say is – her body is MEDIOCRE. She has looked eons better in the past then in the last period, I’m not reffering to when she was a teenager, or to her skinniest days, I’m talking about the period where she clearly worked out regularly, and maintained MAD curves, with a thin waist and shapely good-kind-of-thick thighs.
She has clearly gained pounds, and not of muscle, of fat. She has no tone whatsoever, and lately, she’s been losing her trademark thin waist looking more tubular, and pictures of severe cellulite have been taken – I know, cellulite is on everyone, but guess what, it shouldn’t be that severe on someone so young. And it gets diminished if you exercise.
girl preach it
get a life dear….
I love how you’re ranting when nobody even said she was fat. Seriously I didn’t see a single comment that said that. Way to be presumptuous and get upset over nothing. She has gained weight but that doesn’t mean she’s fat now. Plus I think we can all agree she looks terrible in that outfit.
Please go look at the previous post re: Rihanna.
Welcome to life on Planet Earth.
That outfit is NOT flattering, I don’t think anyone could pull that ugly thing off. She does have a great body though!
I agree – NOT a good outfit, but she doeas have a great body!
Yikes.
Double yikes…she should NOT wear that. Ewww.
I have one piece of advice for Rhianna: stop trying to be lady gaga.
Actually I think it was Rihanna who started it with the crazy outfits – she’s just getting a little too extreme lately .
I have to admit – she looks terrible in that pic , then again those panties would even make Victoria look somewhat normal weight.
She sooo needs a new stylist not only for her clothing but the hair as well
i agree, i HATE her hair its like a slideshow of increasingly bad cuts.
rhianna may have started it but lady gaga is the one that can pull it off
I actually like it. Maybe it’s because I’ve learned to expect much worse from her.
Her legs are looking thick but I wouldn’t say she’s fat at all. In fact, her legs look really shapely, long and nice. I just prefer slim legs.
yes unflattering. And ugly.
It’s weird in her recent bikin pics (the pink one that was posted a few days ago) her thighs didn’t seem that big to me, but in these pics they look bigger. I guess it’s the stripes. I still like her body though. The outfit isn’t cute, but much of her stuff isn’t so yeah.
her hair is eww
I guess
pretty ugly outfit
she gained some but it’s ok
Great body shitty style!
Size 2 my bum
I think she has a great body.. but this doesn’t show it.
In the first picture it looks like she has a wicked tiny waist and then her legs bulge CRAZILY – which is not what her body looks like normally.
Maybe she want to impress the governor of United Arab Emirates .
because of her hips and huge legs people say she’s fat. she is so disproportional (in my opinion) .
I have seen pics of her in that outfit that were taken from afar, i don’t know if i like the ensemble, but her body looked way better. Her silhouette actually looked really good IMHO, obv. there were no thigh lumps but also her body looked proprtionate etc, which makes me think that maybe this worked as a stage outfit just fine, for most of the audience anyway, who weren’t standing all that close to her
Maybe she wanted to show some skin without looking too daring or sexy, i’ve understood there were some concerns about the appropriativity of her costumes..
Her hair
HIDEOUS
Her new music
HORRIBLE
Her outfit
HORRENDOUS
HATE HER
Chris brown fan lol!
She is beautiful but her outfit choices are hideous – so are her statement choices (remember when she said she feels bad for your boyfriend if you don’t send him naked pics? – what a terrible message to send to her teenage fans).
um, entirely UNFLATTERING to say the least
black horizontal lines will kill anyones figure…
but this is just exceptionally bad
I reckon if those lines went right upto her stomach it’d look better. The black bit which kinda covers her crotch adds to the thickness illusion.
I’m pretty sure it’s juft the outfit because in the bikini pics her figure looks fine.
everyone knows that horizontal stripes make you look heavier…Rihanna is not fat at all! But that outfit is SO unflattering! I don’t think she has “gained” either. I just think her ugly leggings are making her look heavier than she really is. I haven’t been feeling a few of her outfit choices lately. I feel like she is trying to stand out too much…kind of like another Lady Gaga figure, trying to be “original”. I love me some Gaga, but I can’t handle all of these look-alikes. Rihanna, just find a HOT outift that is FLATTERING, instead of trying to stand out.
her talent should be why she “stands out” not her clothes…If i were a performer, I would much rather hear people talk about my awesome show, or how great I sounded than my crazy outfit. idk, maybe that’s just me?
im sure that would happen to my thighs if i put them in too tight leggings. she should dress to flatter, especially when photos will be taken from below. we all know that angles not good for the lower body
its unflattering but shes not fat these are the same peope who think christina and nicole ritchie are the perfect size when they are too thin men like meat on girls rihanna actually has a nice figure ive never seen nicole ritchie on any sexist girls list really thin is not attractive
Unflattering. Rihanna does NOT have good legs. They are not toned, and there’s just something big and unshaped about them.
She should cover her legs and show off other parts of her body.
oh my gosh! huuuge legs!
Oh my God.
I like Rihanna and all but those are HUGE trunk thighs. Bad choice!
Sometimes I wonder why don’t celebs wear flattering clothes onlyyyy.
Noooooo
perfect is she lost like 20lbs and stopped wearing such unflattering outfits.
again this is my opinion so don’t be quick to jump at me
she is talented but i am not judging her talent i am judging her figure
she is hot
but i dislike her legs
on the plus side she has nice arms and her stomach is nice
Tht outfit made me HARD!!!!!!!! I feel lik f@#*%ing the sh#* outta her…..DAMN shes FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her legs look huugee! but then it is probably just the outfit. I imagine rihanna has really muscley thighs. She doesnt really have a body i would aspire too tho, being pear shaped myself.
omg ‘ she has da best styl n best body no doupt i love her she da beeeeeeeeeeeeeestttttttttttt love u rihanaaaaaaaaaaaa

Rihanna’s probably damn sexier than any of you idiots calling her fat. She’s not fat, at all. I’ll readily admit I’m jealous. It’s about time some of you admitted it too
