This is…bold. And potentially FCC-baiting. One wrong move, and we’re ALL getting fined:
It’s also not particularly hypoallergenic, I suspect.
If you’ve got it, flaunt it….? Rihanna does have a great bod. She just looks like she decided to dress it via a wedding shower party game wherein the guests have to create a wedding gown from toilet paper, and all the guests are current or former Rockettes.
Comments (54):
Yuck. Is it completely see through? I think I see pasties on her boobs, but is she really not wearing panties???
Well…at least she did actually wear undergarments.
Maybe just grabbed whatever was lying around the house (in this case: Winter Wonderland decorative garlands and a transparent tablecloth)? I wonder if this is what the bride wears at a nudist colony.
This is, in my opinion, just another sad ploy for attention. When the Ronald McDonald hair failed she had to try something. I think it’s time for her to retire. (Nicole Kidman got the better dress from the John Paul Gaultier runway-this one is hideous!)
It’s Rihanna, I can’t hate. Plus, look at the smile – she looks so happy!
I might have liked this had it had a beige sip underneath it.
*beige SLIP
Not exactly the most beautiful dress have ever seen… But I can appreciate its boldness. More importantly, I’m happy to see her smiling. Her expression in that first photo is just so sweet. A slight disconnect from the dress, yes, but still.
It takes about an hour, but once you get over the dress, he hair and makeup are pretty.
Dress? What dress? I don’t see a dress.
She looks really cute and part of me finds the dress pretty and youthful and different. But I also keep wondering how she is managing the goodies while my eyes keep drifting to her crotch. and I wish the ruffles covered her nips. And plastic leis keep coming to mind.
Overall, I think this jumped into the “trying too hard” category.
The 60′s vibe of the dress in combo with the red hair and fishtail hem made me think of the Who’s of Whoville (The Grinch Who Stole Christmas).
Isn’t she tired of wearing see-through stripe/band dresses? What is this number 4? 5? It’s beginning to seem desperate.
I don’t mind this at all. I think she looks fantastic.
If it covered the nipples, it would be really unique and pretty! Her hair is great and she just looks so cute and happy
I don’t dislike the concept, and I’m sure this dress costs more than the average American yearly salary. What I don’t like, is the execution. Not Rihanna’s execution, but the dress looks cheap. If you’re going to design a dress like this, it shouldn’t look cheap.
I keep looking at this and thinking it’s a pale inspiration of Halle Berry’s Elie Saab Oscar Dress.
Thanks for reminding me. I need a new toilet brush.
I love her hair.
The dress, not so much.
I loved my friend Cath’s reaction to this dress: “She went as a Christmas Tree??!!!” Seriously, do they not look like those tinsel garlands? Is she the sartorial equivelant of your neighbour who still has their Chirstmas decos up in february?
So yes, the dress is naked, and heinous, and heinously naked. But can I just get my 2 cents in about the hair: she looks like Raggedy Ann anchors the nightly news. I don’t understand THAT colour with such a very conservative cut, and then paired with that dress. If she’s going to do wackadoo, do it all the way, don’t wimp out on the blow out.
ia it weird that the thing that concerns me most is her very visible navel? It just creeps me out, it’s like an evil little belly eye.
Eh, it’s Rihanna, so you have to judge it by Rihanna standards, I suppose. One can’t evaluate it based on criteria from the normal world.
Is anyone else highly amused by her pose in the first pic? I swear I had a Barbie Doll as a child who had that exact pose, complete with head tilt. The haircut was the same too.
I am wearing that exact same dress to work today! What a coincidence…
It’s reminiscent of an overly clipped poodle, but her face and hair look great.
God I love this woman.
for once, wretched rihanna’s hair and makeup look beautiful!
i cannot say the same for the dress or the exposed flesh.
she still has “low-self-esteem, desperate, and trying too hard” written all over her.
Oh lordy, lordy. At some point, someone has to have the nerve to tell Rhianna that her dress was made from Dollar Store holiday decorations and that it’s all a joke, and a real, fabulously creative, unique and awesome dress is hiding in a closet. Until that time, I can just marvel at her self-delusion that this dress is appealing or sexy.
My four-year-old niece has a few Barbies. One of them, a gift from a school friend on her 4th birthday, wears a tube dress that tends to slip down a lot. I took to calling her “Exhibitionist Barbie”, to distinguish her from the others. My niece asked me what the word meant, and I told her.
The next time the dress slipped, my niece said, “Wookit. She showing her exhibitionits.”
RiRi is pretty much always showing her exhibitionits … and I for one am over it.
Gawd, she’s so tiresome. I’m with “Pam 8:41″ here (i.e. sad ploy for attention, and please go away).
I hate the red hair. She looks like Ronald McDonald. It is awful. The lipstick makes it even worse.
If she went back to her natural hair color, this would be risque but flattering, and not unexpected from a singer in the post-Gaga age. As it is, she looks like a ridiculous cartoon character.
I miss Cher.
Stripper Bride
Every one is so right. How many ways are there to go naked? She should just go completely naked and save some money.
she can’t sing, can’t dance and can’t dress….why is she a thing again?
Anne B: Exhibistionist Barbie
Kate: Stripper Bride
That about covers it. (Too bad RiRi isn’t covered.)
Who’s her cake decorator?
This looks like something Amber Rose would wear thinking it looks “elegant”. Rhianna, you are better than Amber Rose. Please stop with the nakedness!
She is dressed as some sort of a pipe cleaner, no?
Then ICK! ICK! SQUICK! and DOUBLE ICK!
Behold, the Human Sewer Router!
I knew the Fug Girls were my soulmates when I looked at this pic and thought “toilet paper wedding dress from a bridal shower” and then saw their comments after the jump.
Its also the dress that Andrej Pejic – a male model – modelled on the runway a few weeks ago…and i think he pulls it off better than Ri Ri does!
Sadly i think Andrej Pejic wore it better, and he had more junk in the… front.
I agree–with underslip it’s gorgeous. And her hair is so pretty. It’s a very pretty dress overall. And romantic. Sigh. She a near miss.
GAWD this chick is incredible. I love it, she can do no wrong in my eyes. At the end of the day, you’re always talking about what Rihanna wore!
EPIC!
Isn’t this a slightly modified version of a dress from the Jean Paul Gaultier 2011 couture collection? Andrej Pejic wore it better– and he’s a guy. Props for her, I guess, for having the guts to try this on the red carpet & in front of flashbulbs. This is probably one of those pieces that should stay on the runway, though.
I like it! She has the figure to get away with this as it is, but if the sheer see-through was a more solid, smooth fabric, perhaps satin, it could work on any tall thin lady. Quite a twist on 60′s.
I actually like that it has no slip underneath; she looks like jessica rabbit would if she got married. And far better than the standard celebrity revealing outfit that’s basically a long but not long enough boob tube. It’s great with her hair too.
i’m kinda liking this, even with the horrible hair colour. her make up is lovely and she looks really happy. who wouldn’t be happy with a body like that? that said, i think it’s time she draw a veil of modesty over her waxing regime.
I howled to realize that I was the only person who thought of that bridal shower game where you make a gown out of toilet paper.
I love the hair and make up and the idea of the dress. I don’t like seeing all her deets, though.
yeahandalso: I’ve been asking the same question for some time now.
Sue me. I think she looks marvelous.
Is it bad that I think she looks great? I think mainly because she has gotten rid of the Ronald McDonald hairstyle, if not colour. And for Rihanna, it’s quite covered up. Is anyone else sick of the fact that all female popettes seemingly must perform in their knickers or their career is destined for the Woolworth’s sale section? Ugh.
I feel like the idea was daring , I don’t know if I like the execution so much. It actually reminds me of the dress RDJ’s wife wore at the 2010 Oscars, which was more toned done and came together better for me, visually. Which is a shame because otherwise, I agree that this is the prettiest she’s looked in awhile.
I also second earlier comments re: the state of female pop star undress. I don’t mind women being sexy, but I’m tired of them having to be sexy *all the time.*
*Yawn*
“Sexy” is so boring. When is Classy going to make a come-back?
Um, yes. Andrej Pejic wore this MUCH better.

I’m getting a strong Gozer from Ghostbusters vibe.
So, how many poodles had to die to make that dress? Someone, please, call PETA asap!
