Rihanna Steps Out In NYC Under Her Umbrella
Rihanna, who has been making her fair share of public appearances in recent weeks not the least of which was her return to the red carpet Monday night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, was spotted braving the rain in the streets of NYC last night lookin’ utterly faboo underneath her bright yellow umbrella (most likely trying to avoid detection, without much success) … behold:
It seems to me that Rihanna, who is clearly ready to hit the red carpet again, is getting back to her old self. These photos recall the good ol’ days before her assault when her nightly duty was to just look fabulous wherever she went. The thigh high boots leather leggings paired with the short jean shorts is a nice look for her … one that she’s rocked before. Seeing her with an umbrella instantly recalls her mega hit song of the same name that rocketed her to superstardom … perhaps this is her signal to us that her life is finally getting back to normal. She looks great, it’s really fantastic seeing her look so well again.

Splacer I think they do and I love them!!!

@Splacer — I think so. See … now that’s different and cool (unlike the Madonna bunny ears).

I wonder how long it takes to put those boots on and then take them off.
May 6th, 2009 at 9:17 am
Fashion Fail…………those are not cool earrings those are scary earrings just imagine one accidental pull and D:

The whole outfit is awful.

I love Rihanna’s style, and those BOOTS…FABOosh
May 6th, 2009 at 9:40 am
@Gaby — yes, I agree. Sometimes her look is out there but it’s far more stylish, IMHO, than Lady GaGa.

Don’t EVEN get me started on the lameness that is Lady GaGagmewithaspoon! Blech..But check RiRi out..She’s wearing jean shorts and a blank tank or tee..Nothing inspirational about that..Then comes those boots and that hair and those earrings! She knows how to work shizz out! Love it!

it looks like she stole those boots from GaGa’s closet. The whole outfit is a fail IMHO. to me – it looks like he trys to hard. the only thing i like is the umbrella.

May 6th, 2009 at 10:32 am

Those earrings are dangerous. But LOOOVE her umbrella. :D
May 6th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Those are NOT thigh high boots. They are leather LEGGINGS with holes ripped into them. Seriously disgusting. http://www.redcarpet-fashionawards.com/2009/05/in-rihannas-closet-rodarte-leather-cut.html

so after reading the link Ally posted – those things go for $920! who in thier right mind would pay that much for something so ugly?
May 6th, 2009 at 10:43 am
I think they are awesome!!!!!!

nicole — If you scroll down to the comments, that is almost exactly what I said! :)

OMG, she’s the Mother!
No? This isn’t a subtle How I Met Your Mother spoiler? Darn.

Rihanna is really a beautiful girl. Could someone share with me what IMHO means? I feel dumb asking but I truly don’t know but would like too.
May 6th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Those highlights in her hair are seriously tragic. Yes worst than the boots.
May 6th, 2009 at 11:07 am
@Frisa – In My Humble Opinion
May 6th, 2009 at 11:25 am
she’s a beautiful girl, but her sense of fashion is too far out there for this girl!
May 6th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
I think she looks Badass- i love it
May 6th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
I don’t know about those leggings, but I’m loving that soft leather jacket. A tip for Madonna…this is how leather jackets should be worn, not tight. (unless you’re actually riding your bike. lol)
May 6th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Yellow umbrella!!! OMG – she’s the mother :)
May 6th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
IMHO can be in my honest opinion as well, right? either way. I just don’t know about Rihanna anymore. I’m glad she canceled her tour because she’s beaten her last album out to death and she needs new material.
May 6th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Thanks Trent! Love the site. You and David are adorable. I hope my son finds that kind of happiness some day.
May 6th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
@Frisa — Aww, you’re very sweet. Thanks :)

Countless times now I’ve managed to completely avoid detection in public while wearing my leather leggings. I only hope they worked for Rihanna as well as they did for me.
Fashion Accomplished!

Yea cause a girl like her with stupid earings like that, a tonne of make up, hair done up, outift like that and those boots really wants to avoid detection by holding a BRIGHT ass yellow umbrella.
May 7th, 2009 at 6:10 am
She really has some FIERCE style. People are just jealous they can’t pull it off. That umbrella is THE BEST UMBRELLA I’VE EVER SEEN. It’s like a sun and spotlight.
