Rihanna Keeps Her Head Warm In NYC
She'd rather go naked AND wear fur

While Bethenny Frankel from Bravo TV‘s The Real Housewives of New York City was bizzy promoting the practice of NOT wearing animal fur for PETA, Rihanna was running around town in an over-sized fur chapeau that very likely kept her head warm and got animal activists hot and bothered:


Without getting into the fur debate, I will say that the ginormous size of his particular hat does look a bit silly on our dear Ri Ri. I’m not sure if she was going for “a look” or if she was really just trying to stay warm but in either instance, I’d say she reached her goal.

    Disgusting. Is she simply uneducated about the horrors of the fur industry or just plain callous? I would guess the latter.

  2. krissy says:

    Fur just seems like a carcass to me anymore. Like carrying around road kill on your head…

  3. Jen says:

    If that is real then I just lost a whole lot of respect for her. lame.

  4. vanessa says:

    well i cant hate on the fur, seeing as it could be fake.
    but i can hate on her and say she looks stupid with that thing on her head.

    It looks like faux fur: win
    Fashion: fail

    If she was trying to stay warm why would she be wearing a tiny little jacket with the hat?? Pretty sure she was going for a “look” and got a laugh instead. Either way, no matter how she dresses I still love the music she makes so whatever!! Im just glad her fashion choice does not affect her voice lol !!!

    She looks kinda cute in the last pic, like a little kid.
    Only if its fake fur.

  10. p says:

    I dont think she would be that stupid to wear real fur. Well hopefully.

  11. Diane says:

    She always wears leather…isn’t that the same damned thing?? Alot of people wear leather, fur and down, get over it. Stop complaining. It’s from H&M anyway, faux.

  12. Catherine says:

    Isn’t that the girl from Akeelah and the Bee, Keke Palmer, behind her?

  13. F says:

    @Diane. You obviously are a member of the bury-your-head-in-the-sand school of thought. Educate yourself on the suffering of animals, and then maybe you’ll understand why people take issue with wearing fur.

    I can’t stand this phony heifer. Her album stink.

  15. tatiana says:

    I dont understand these dumb and insensitive idiots who continue to wear fur. I hope she trips in some paint.

  16. Nik says:

    This is not real fur! It’s from H&M. It’s a new faux fur hat they’re selling. Repeat: it’s not real fur.

  17. Shazz says:

    If it’s real, than she disgusts me to no end.
    Who the hell wears a dead animal..
    I dont even understand why people eat meat, let alone why they’d wear an animals skin..

    Dude… (fake) fur hats are AMAZING!
    Being a proud owner of a (fake) fur hat myself, I can attest to how amazingly warm and cozy they are! Although… mine’s just lined in the fake fur… and is a lot smaller.
    But still…. woohooo!
    You gotta just rock it loud and proud… and I think the look is sort of cute. :)
