Here’s a look at RihRih rocking the  Futuristic look this week with sick LV boots. I cannot keep up with her style can you?  via Just Jared. More on the flip.

The next day after she made her Met Gala statement Rihanna rocks the very coveted Rodarte leggings wich are really a perforated thigh high leg warmer. Available at Colette .  Tasteful detail, the shorts are looger in back ! A complete look ar RihRhi’s wow outfit and on the flip via UltimateRihanna.

Rihanna showed up at the Costume Institute Gala in NYC last night in this gender bending Dolce & Gabbana. With ’80’s power bitch shoulder pads and a cropped length on the pant it is definitely a fashion risk. What do you all think? Hit or Miss?

Phillip & David Blond AKA The Blonds are known in Hollywood for creating corsets for the likes of Rihanna, Katy Perry, Christina Aquilera, and Britney Spears (check out the outrageous star covered number in the insert of her latest album). Whimsical and decadent, their line is is what girlie girl dreams are made of. For Spring they present us with plenty of their signature corsets as well as cocktail dresses in cotton candy colors that are just dripping in sequins, feathers, and other delicious embellishments. The line is currently sold by private inquiries through their website and at Patricia Field in New York.

Check out lots more from The Blonds after the jump.

Rihanna was spotted recently house-hunting in Los Angeles. Check out the studded lapel on her blazer, which features the latest in angular, yet still oh-so-subtle shoulder pads. I love how she hooked it up with a pair of rolled-up boyfriend shorts. And you can’t see in these shots, but she was sporting a pair of sky-high heels. As for RihRih’s new doo, not only cute, but hmmm, when us women change up our hair style dramatically, what’s that usually a sign of?

A closer shot of the blazer and the necklace she’s wearing after the flip.

Rihanna made her first very public appearance since the incident, chowing down recently at DaSilvano, a known N.Y. paparaZzi hot spot. A night later she belatedly celebrated her birthday with Uncle Jay and Aunt Beyonce.

Those of us who love fashion down to our bones know that it’s so much more than just garments on bodies. For those that posess the key, it can be used to entertain, intrigue, send hidden messages, and sometimes, as in the images we’re seeing here, provide us refuge from the chaos.

More images after the fold, including a close-up on RihRih’s new pink tips and the sick patent leather boots she wore with the tweed jacket pictured above.

Earlier today, I put up a post that was a shot of Rihanna and Chris together for the first time since their first meltdown (yes, that’s the link, I’m not reposting the images here ’cause at this point I’m over the drama). Because of the level of controversy it was causing the post was taken down, but I just want to make it known that Samia and I have been posting on this site for quite some time now and here and there we have always featured some celebrity stuff that doesn’t quite seem fashion related (including “Guess the Celebrity Rack,” our always very popular posts featuring gratuitous shots of KimK’s booty, not to mention, one on an 18K gold vibrator, which drew record high levels of traffic). At any given moment, there are half a dozen celebs whose choices fascinate us and that includes decisions they make that aren’t always clearly fashion-related, and that is because style is informed by, gee-what-a-shocker, a lot of stuff that happens during life away from the runway or design room. When I said earlier today I had no opinion about the Rihanna/Chris fiasco, I meant it. It’s a complicated situation and if you ask a million people what they think, you get a million opinions.  I just happen to not have one, but figured our readers who, like us, find RihRih’s every move interesting would want to know about the images.  This is supposed to be a cutting-edge, streetwear-inspired fashion blog and we will continue to–on occassion–post shit that some people find annoying, offensive or just wrong for a fashion blog. You want smooth, p.r.-tested fashion, I’m sure you know where to find it.

JC Report has an excellent article today on the fashion choices being made by Rihanna and Beyonce. Clearly RihRih has given the intensely-competetive Beyonce a good kick in the ass. Here’s an excerpt:

Even with this ongoing creative collaboration, some industry insiders point to [Beyonce's] rivalry with fellow chart-topper Rihanna and other emerging singers. “We have to wonder if perhaps [Beyoncé] chose the dress to combat a certain popular singer who’s mentored by Jay-Z and who easily pulls off lesser-known designers,” notes New York magazine’s The Cut. And indeed many are whispering that Beyoncé’s newfound edge has to do with the need to keep up with other daring starlets’ growing fashion cred and directional picks.

We know Beyonce is smart enough to hire the best stylists in all the land who can do a very capable job of updating her look, but will it be a believable transformation?

Little Miss Sunshine performed at the Pepsi Smash Super Bowl Concert this past weekend.  Clearly she’s still in her S&M “Road Warrior” phase.  Check out her manicure here–all black with one, multi-colored nail. UPDATE: Samia says her pinkie nail features an image of Obama. I thought it was, but I was like, nah. Wrong!!

All images are from Ultimate Rihanna. And according to that site, Rihanna will be featured in February’s Vibe. Supposedly its Vibe’s very first style issue. Could that be true? The first? Anyway, Keyshia Cole is going to be the cover girl (that link is to the actual cover, which also features her Mom–ugh). We love Keyshia, but if we’re talking style, Rihanna really deserves that spot. No doubt some public-relations-related b.s. that caused that to go down.  

The image on the other side features RihRih’s boots. When you see them, you’ll understand why “Road Warrior” lept to mind.

She wore these babies at the American Music Awards last week. Did you see?

They’re super sexy, right? And kinky sex at that.

Full shot on el otro side. I put an image of the outfit she performed in over there as well. (All images: Wire.com)
