Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit For Earthquake Relief - London


Whatever you may think of them, celebrities have always been amazing at turning up and helping at charity events, and the Haiti Telethon events, which took place over the weekend in Los Angeles, New York and our very own London really showed this.

Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit For Earthquake Relief - London

A-listers including Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt and Beyonce turned up in their droves to help raise a record breaking £35 million for victims of the earthquake. And while some took to the stage to get that money pouring in, others were more than happy to take a backstage seat answering donation calls.

However, no matter what they decided to do they looked gorgeous, especially Beyonce and Rihanna who attended the Hope For Haiti Now concert, at The Hospital Club in London.

Get the look: Rihanna’s bandage leggings

By Andrea Petrou on January 5th, 2010

Rihanna leggings.jpgRihanna is well known for her choice of outrageous, yet always stylish outfits and there have been a number of times when we’ve prayed that we could afford just one little item from her huge wardrobe.

Well we’ve been given a very late Christmas present as we’ve just spotted the singer in Topshop leggings (well we said one little item).

The singer, teamed up her trademark shoulder pads and figure hugging PVC pants with the pair of bandage leggings from Topshop Unique to see in the new year, and she’s definitely made ours as a result.

For an every day look team these up with a mini leather skirt or jumper dress.

Sneak preview: Rihanna wears military couture for her Hard music video

By Andrea Petrou on December 17th, 2009

Rihanna.jpgRihanna is well known for her quirky and weird fashion sense and always ,manages a kooky twist on the latest trends, especially in her videos. She’s gone from wearing huge shoulder pads to tiny dresses, which looked more like she was wrapped in bandages.

However when we heard she was shooting her “Hard” video in military couture, we did worry she was possibly going a step too far, and we had a feeling it wouldn’t be a pair of skinny combat print trousers.

We may have been right about the combats but we have to say she pulls the look off rather well. We love the leopard print soldiers hat and black bodycon dress. However the spikes coming out of it here are just that little bit too much.

Let us know what you think by leaving your comments below.

Get the look: Rihanna’s watch

By Andrea Petrou on September 9th, 2009

Rihanna watch.JPGRihanna’s been a style icon of mine for a long time. She’s sometimes cool, sometimes sexy and sometimes quirky.

So I was pleased to see that at times, I too can copy her look. Well her jewellery anyway.

We spotted a picture of her wearing this gorgeous black watch, which is bold enough to be noticed, but doesn’t ruin the rest of her look.

Now I couldn’t find (or afford) the exact same one, but this watch by Christopher Ward comes in as a similar second.

The simple black and subtle style means it can be dressed up, like Rihanna’s or worn every day.

Rihanna graces the cover of fashion magazine

By Andrea Petrou on August 28th, 2009

Rihanna Vogue.jpgI’ve always liked Rihanna’s dress sense, it’s fun, sometimes kooky, and sometimes just downright sexy.

But I think you’ll all agree that she looks absolutely amazing here.

The popstar, who has had her fair share of trouble in the past few months, has been pictured for the cover of Italian Vogue’s Couture supplement wearing this fantastic Valentino dress.

Now we know 80s fashion is back but the sleeves on this dress take us slap bang back into the very era, I think they would hurt if I got to close.

And does anyone else agree that the bucket is just a little bit wrong? I hope the person standing to the side of her was holding an Umbrella.

Rihanna road tests sequinned star pasties

By Kimberley Foster on July 7th, 2009

rihanna_starpasties_fourthjuly.jpgDuring the fourth of July celebrations over the weekend, all eyes were on Rihanna who partied at Tao Las Vegas in not much more than a pair of pasties.

It was a risqué decision by the R&B star, who covered her nipples in the sequinned star pasties, worn underneath a black tuxedo suit.

I’m not quite sure why a crop top, vest or even black bra wasn’t chosen as a suitable alternative. That is, unless she was planning to whip off her blazer and do a “shake ‘em all about” move on the dance floor.

What do you think? Does Rihanna get away with this look, or should she have left the pasties to the professional dancers?

Has Rihanna missed her Vogue opportunity?

By Kimberley Foster on June 1st, 2009

Jingle Ball Rihanna.jpgIt seems that Rihanna cover for Vogue is in jeopardy in the aftermath of those nude photos of her and Chris Brown that were recently leaked onto the internet.

The singing superstar was approached by Anna Wintour to star in an upcoming issue of the glossy mag. They were reportedly “thick as thieves” at the Met Costume Gala last month.

“Anna told her Vogue absolutely loves her and really wanted to work with her. Rihanna was ecstatic,” a source told Star magazine.

However, it is now believed that the editrix has retracted her offer in response to the photos that were allegedly taken by Brown, although he denies it.

“Anna hasn’t returned any of her calls. Rihanna’s so upset… She hopes the people at Vogue change their minds,” the source added.

And so their turbulent relationship has cost Rihanna again. Shame!

Yay or Nay Rihanna for Gucci.jpg

We know we’ve already picked on Rihanna this week, but now we want you to pick apart her handbag collection for Gucci and tell us what you think.

If they’re going for the teen demographic then they’re clearly on track, as well as anyone who wants their handbag to scream designed by a celebrity!

There’s an overly sincere video after the jump if you want to see more close up details of the bags (and Rihanna and her buff arms).

Rihanna at Gucci.jpg

In the front row at the Gucci Spring 2009 fashion show in Milan this week, view a runway gallery here, Rihanna talked about her globe trotting ways.

In Europe promoting her latest single, “Disturbia,” the songstress next heads to Australia and New Zealand in October. “Then we’re going to play around in the studio for a while,” she said.

As for Gucci, Rihanna expressed her admiration for their charitable efforts. “I give them so much respect,” she told WWD.

No wonder she wanted to be part of the house’s first ad campaign in collaboration with UNICEF over the summer.

From CatwalkQueen

Last season, Peter Pilotto was dubbed one of the “Ten Most Promising New Talents” by Style.com, so it’s no surprise that tickets to his London Fashion Week show this season are highly sought after. The stand-out piece from last season was a voluminous, jewel-coloured dress that has been spotted on celebs like Lisa Snowdon, Tamsin Egerton and Rihanna in various colourways. This time around, Pilotto and his design partner Christopher De Vos will apparently be looking to the artist David Altmejd for inspiration…

From CatwalkQueen:Gucci’s first full ad campaign for UNICEF will star Rihanna, it has been confirmed.

The Grammy-award winner was tapped by the label to represent its collaboration with the United Nation’s Children’s Fund.

“We’ve come a long way from Miss Bisou to Gucci,” said the singer, referring to her first ad campaign. “We have grown a lot in the endorsement world. It’s an honour to represent Gucci.” (Is that the royal “we”?)

Kelly Rowland, Natasha Bedingfield and Rihanna work the short silver numbers at the Brit Awards

By Andrea Thatcher on February 21st, 2008

britawards2008-2.jpg

We love a good party dress, and by the looks of things so do these ladies. At the 2008 Brit Awards (think Grammys) last night Kelly Rowland, Natasha Bedingfield and Rihanna all address different trends with their short silver frocks. Rowland chooses feathers, which we must say never completely took off (har har), Bedingfield chooses a sparkly dress which may be our favorite, and Rihanna goes with a more ladylike, fitted dress with a bell skirt. It looks like she cut at least 5 inches off that skirt to show off her gams. I hope she doesn’t have to bend over to pick anything up. But I think Rihanna does win the best shoe prize for her dainty ankle strap pumps.

Marc Jacobs obviously really like pop star Rihanna, and with a string of hits and a Def Jam record deal under her belt why wouldn’t he? She is often in the press for her adventurous style which I think she should be applauded for. Mr Jacobs has decided to name his latest tote after the star! The Rihanna tote is available in distressed silver or silver suede and will retail between $1,650-$2,075.
