Rihanna Channels Her Inner Michael Jackson
By way of her outer wear
April 18th, 2009
Rihanna was spotted doing a bit of shopping on Melrose Ave. here in SoCal yesterday afternoon and it sure looked like she was rockin’ an outfit that she pilfered from Michael Jackson’s auction closet:
Funny, I was under the impression that the court ruled that the Jacko auction would be halted and that he would be able to keep his crap. I guess sneaky Ri Ri managed to get her mits on one of his jackets after all. Yeah, not a good look for her … or anyone for that matter. She gets a resounding Poop Sandwich from me!!

April 18th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
im not a fan of it at all. and i hate what shes doin with her hair, it reminds me of a mullet
April 18th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
nicole, someones behind her! lol
April 18th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
i think she looks good
April 18th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Defo a good luck, don’t tell me you’re losing your sense of style Trenty!!

@ ij – haha well…even the pics before…it still kinda remined me of a mullet lol. i dunno im not a fan of the looks she had over the past couple yrs.
April 18th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
I love that someone is behind her with long hair!! Looks like R came straight out of the ’80s!!
LOL
April 18th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
wow, she looks DOPE!

I don’t mean to be a bitch here, but stating a fact; you don’t know much about fashion. Usually the mainstream media hates the avant-garde… and this Balmain jacket is pretty coveted.
April 18th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
i hope her hair style doesn’t catch on…
April 18th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Hahaha it does look like her hair is long in the back!! I don not like her outfit at all. I think she is gorgeous tho!!
April 18th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
she looks fierce! :P love it!
April 18th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Ah, been there, worn that. Won’t revisit it.
April 18th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
i think she looks amazing.
GO RIHANNA!

So I guess the bad judgment doesn’t just stop at choice in men.
April 18th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
The jacket isn’t THAT bad…. it would just look a WAYYYY better with jeans or pants – NOT SHORTS. And the hair is FUG.
April 18th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
it really doesn’t look that bad.
April 18th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
Hey, Beyonce did the same just recently…. She had a MJ-nostalgic jacket on too. :)
April 18th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
In my opinion, I think she’s trying way too hard.
April 18th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
More to the point – WTF is with her hair?! It’s horrible!
April 18th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
Hey Trent :),
I know alot of people don’t know ( or maybe they don’t care) why michael fought so hard to keep his stuff, but in 2002 his family lost a bunch of his memorabilia from his jackson 5 and thriller days and it was seized and taken by a creditor( henry vacarro, you can look it up on youtube) mj didn’t bail the family out, but alot of their stuff was taken, their memories, so Im sure he didn’t want that to happen to the rest of his stuff he has kept. They didn’t take his legendary silver glove though, lol
Rihanna slicked down baby hair is totally reminiscent of early 90’s mj as well.. is that the new thing people are trying to look like mj( Im not sure I get that at all) but I agree with you Trent this look isn’t working for her, and nobodt but mj ever rocked this stuff, so Im not feeling it now, it was more like his 80’s thing, ( like prince and his platforms, bells and pirate shirts)

Honestly, I’d die for that Balmain jacket! But her hair’s pretty messed up. The only thing worse than a mullet is a mullet-esw thing gone beyond wrong.
April 19th, 2009 at 5:17 am
Behind her it’s her friend with dark her
April 19th, 2009 at 6:01 am
She.Looks.Awful.
April 19th, 2009 at 6:25 am
I second Laura….military band jackets are back and I love em especially a black version of whut Rihanna’s wearing from Balmain…
You ask a mainstream audience about fashion and their minds just go “the uglier the clothes are, the more expensive it gets”
April 19th, 2009 at 7:33 am
I though Chris Brown was suppose to be the next Michael Jackson?
April 19th, 2009 at 8:09 am
If this picture was taking from a different angle without the accidental mullet from the woman behind her… it might not be too bad. Hopefully she does grow her hair out a couple more inches she looks way better with a bit longer hair.

@Caroline — I have an old Drum Major jacket I could sell ya real cheap, looks just like this … and comes with a tall hat with a feather!
April 19th, 2009 at 8:31 am
The outfit’s great. The hair’s horrible. She could look so much more sophisticated and less Michael Jackson-esque if she just got rid of that hair style.
April 19th, 2009 at 9:02 am
@Laura I don’t mean to be a bitch here, but stating a fact; fashion is entirely subjective. What I like you might hate and I might hate what you like.
I like her look in general. I really do hope that’s a person behind her and not her hair. Mullet , bleeech! Not everyone can pull off a jacket like that, but I think Rhianna is probably the only one who can.
April 19th, 2009 at 9:29 am
I think She looks fierce!
She surprises me everytime I saw her photo!In a good way!
April 19th, 2009 at 11:52 am
Yeah um…mullets are not cute on anyone. Epic fail.
April 19th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Balmain jackets are the IT thing of the moment in the fashion world. I see at least four or five imitations styled jackets walking down the streets of New York EVERY DAY.
I’m not really here nor there about them, but I do like how structured they are.
April 19th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Balmain are going to be mad, first Victoria Beckham gives it the kiss of death, then beyonce and now rhianna does the same all wearing their jackets. So so wrong.
April 19th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Hopefully, she can scare off Chris Brown this way.
April 19th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Rihanna wears it first I think,then I saw Victoria wears,never see beyonce wears one sorry
April 20th, 2009 at 9:07 am
It works for her.
April 24th, 2009 at 11:34 pm
HAHA!!!!SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE CAME FROM THE 80’s…… BTW IS THAT A MULLET!!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
