A nice bra, maybe. But not pasties.

It's way too lil kim for my tastes. Eek. Bad memories of the 90s...

Bad taste.

Is this suppose to show the World how "empowered" she is after the beating incident? What is it that women think that they need to show their bodies in order to shout Girl Power? I agree with Diamond, this is sooo 90's!

Riri, darling, if you want to be taken seriously as an emancipated woman, continue to use the envelop-pushing fashion choices you have done recently. Nicely covered boobs do speak louder than words ;o)

It's not daring, it's trashy and unclassy.

I was just compelled to burst out into a patriotic song: "Oooooh, say can you seeeeeee?"

Hate the pasties.

what a shame...
i know so many little girls who look up to her...

Lady Gaga proably to imposee certain trend a style power girl-sexy.Healthy person idea (maybe)But when to be a show ,how not today?It privilege youth.Rihanna on pics to be sexy.Boldness? to take a risk it,s neccessary to be power -SEXY.

Whoa this is a little too over the edge--even for Rhianna! I just don't think star pasties are necessary...bold, yes...

Woah! Trashy if you ask me!

Ewww - she is just taking things too far w. the pasties! I admire her and her funky/daring style but not this time. She seems to be acting out in a negative way after her incident. This disappoints me.

I hate it. I have no respect for someone that walks around half naked for attention.

Stupid. Seriously.

No, no, no this is not a trend, just attention seeking... sad

Even my brother thinks this is trashy.

WTF? seriously?

Trashy, definitely.

T-R-A-S-H-Y!

I agree with the above posters, trashy not sexy. I thought Rihanna had a sense of style but this is over the top.

Vulgar.

Rihanna looks like a wh*re and needs to cover herself up, how trashy. No woman should be showing her nipples or any hint of them in public. This type of dress should NOT be glorified for young girls to see.

ewww.. i expect better from Rihanna.

Why Rihanna?!, I like you too, don't start dressing like that trashy gaga, who doesn't deserve the fame she has

You look like a sloot...but you probably are one, so it makes sense!

I think she looks hot. She has a great body and the right to show it off however she pleases. Go Rihanna!

Well now.

skanky hoe bag.

Uhhhh? What? Nooo!

AlphaChicky - LOL

She looks a hot mess.

nASTY!!

Not a good look at all! It's so funny b/c they all get naked these days so how exactly is it "daring?" Maybe for us every day people, but not the celeb crew. The more they try to be different from each other, the more they stay the same.

I'm so tired of seeing her everywhere?

You barely pay attention to her fabulous makeup because you are staring at her pasty slapped tit. She is not daring. She is not pushing an envelope. She is a troubled woman with self esteem issues who is using her clothing choices or lack there of as a sign for help

RIHANNA'S SUCH A SLUT!

if you're going to show your boobs, try to be original like lady gaga and her x's. i thought she was supposed to be a unique trendsetter. i agree with symphonee. i've noticed since she tried to become a gggb that she had self-esteem issues

i love rihanna... and i love her style but this is just too trashy!!

Hmm, I can see this working for a trend-setting and risky club but not the streets during the day.
I really am not shocked by Nip-oleons, and I find it a nice nod to burlesque. Hilariously, the first thing I thought to myself when I saw this picture was, "Wow! I love that lip-colour!".
My only critique? I really dislike the colour of the pasties. Maybe a really funky bright pink to match her lips would have been better!

Reminds mo of Lil Kim and that can`t be good..

beauty and style are all about leaving something to the imagination. she's gorgeous. she doesn't have to show us EVERYthing she has...

In a word? Yick!

no taste whatsoever. Shouldn't fashion be about being daring yet still staying tasteful?

what the hell?!! its just drawing all attention to her boobs..and not in a classy way. weird!

I think she was going for the burlesque, edgy look, and I actually don't mind it. Had she gone sans-pasties, or sans blazer, I'd be howling. But this, eh, I don't think it's horrible.

slutty. trashy.

Okay, Auntie says put your clothes on now! How do we except our men to respect us when we look like hoochies. I am all for fashion statements, but this one says HOE!!!

reel it in, less isn't always better. leave a little more to the imagination and don't make yourself look like mother's need to cover small children's eyes! (or just be plain naked at the right time and place)

she's definitely got a hot body, it looks great in clothes too - why do women make themselves look like sluts in the pursuit of looking sexy.

Will somebody help her..and stop enabling her bad behavior and choices! It's sad really.

After a year of working in a domestic violence shelter, I really cannot stand questions like "How will men respect us if we wear these clothes?"

Respect is a basic right. This is the same line of "blame the victim" arguments that I just hate. A better question would be "How do we expect men to respect us if we just barrel words like "Slut" and "Hoochie" at women who wear skimpy clothes?

She looks like a wh*re! What in the world is going on. Nix that, she looks like a HO, HO, Stanky Ho! Sad. Are we going backwards people?
