Rihanna is fashion addict who loves to switch up hair-styles every season. Ri-Ri has wore it all long, straight, pixie cut, one-side shaved off, beach curl waves, along with numerous color changes of from blonde, to red, grey and her famous jet black due. Rihanna even took a bold step last year when she debut dread-lock extensions last year for a performance on American Idol show.
Well, Rihanna surprised fans once again with her latest hairdo – the bantu knots. The singer turned heads as she arrived at the Iheart Radio award ceremony on May 1st.
Ri-Ri was a late arrival at the ceremony but nonetheless she walked away with a total of four awards; Best Fan Army, Hip Hop/R&B Song Of The Year [Pour It Up] Song Of The Year [Stay] and Artist Of The Year.
Ri-Ri was draped in a black sheer gown, a sea grass lipstick and topped it off with leather black jacket to pull of her gothic look.
This was surely not my best look of Rihanna but you know when it’s Rihanna there will be skin showing almost all the time.
This brings me to this article I read over at Hype Hair. Blogger, Sharif Daniels wrote an open letter to Rihanna expressing her disgust with Rihanna’s recent NUDE cover of Lui Magazine. In the letter the blogger urges all of us to take a deeper look at what and who we are “IDOLIZING” as well as the message that is being sent to young girls.
Ironically, I spoke about the same thing on the debut of my new radio show entitled: ” The Rain & Kaye Plum Show” There comes a point when we must be held accountable for our actions as adults, as women, and especially the ‘mothers of the world’. As the blogger points out. If this was a teenager” bravely flaunting her NUDITY, there would be a ‘Navy’ of critics condemning the behavior but we are seeing the opposite when it comes to our young celebrities.
Here’s a brief excerpt:
” It now seems as though she has to live up to this self-given nickname or the mask of the misguided 26-year-old crying for help will unravel. Being two years younger than the superstar, it seems I would share her same inhibitions, but I have respect for what I share to the world. Sure, my motto is “less is better,” but even I have a limit on who gets to see my private, most sacred uniqueness—my boyfriend and gynecologist. “
” We can go on all day judging or idolizing her, but can we identify the disconnect she has with the importance of self preservation over public appreciation? “
