This Week's Fab Favorite: Rihanna

December 12, 2008

How I love Rihanna, let me count the ways . . . Severe statement necklace a la Burberry. Perfectly fitted black jumpsuit — check out the sharp shoulders, cropped leg, and pockets. Pointy toe pumps. And smiley face nails! Not only is the jumpsuit/necklace combo fantastic, the playful nails are pure Rihanna style. She knocked our socks off with her anti-ball gown at the Jingle Bell Ball in London. Daring and creative looks like this granted her a spot on our Queen of the Red Carpet 2008 poll.

Thanks Fab for singling this one out - this is definitely one of my top 5 celeb outfits + makeup of the year ... as soon as i saw this outfit - i went shopping to find a similar outfit . And i love her make-up as well - Rihanna def knows what she's doing - i can forgive all her missteps this year after this simple yet chic outfit.

see the thing with rihanna is that sometimes she's on point and sometimes she's just trying too hard i think. i don't know. i think that it could be something that she can grow into with a bit of stylist coaching. in this case - it's just the accessories that are too much, but i guess since she's young she can go in that direction.

I'm not really feeling this look for some reason. 80s cut of the jumpsuit perhaps?

She always looks so cool...not stuff that I'd probably ever pick for myself, but she has her own unique style and it's pretty great.

ONLY Ri. Anyone else would look odd. She can rock it though, but the fit of the suit isn't the best, from where I'm sitting. Girl is built like a brick house, why hide it?

I think Rhianna has overall great style. Obviously there are some huge question marks, but at least she tries new things.

I think she looks awful. I do agree that she tries too hard, I hate the shape of it. I think she has a gorgeous face, I just don't personally find this aesthetically pleasing at all.

there should be an exclusive segment called 'This Decade's Fab Favorite" - she's amazing and she always looks amazing and fun. I know a lot of people think she's overrated and that she tries too hard, but that's the whole point! she's one of those rare funky beauties that can pull off Balenciaga gladiator knee-high sandals without looking like a clown - yes, she looks like she's trying, but she still looks good. as for this, tame for her, but I love it - great take on classic black...

Er--well, she's a pretty girl. I will be the first to say, however, that that thing she's wearing is really just not doing anything for me.

She looks great. Turquoisepassion--I didn't know that people think she's trying too hard but that sucks if it's true. It's sad when people hate on others just for looking good (which she almost always does). I love that necklace and the jumpsuit. Very sexy and hip.
