I am so sick of everyone hating on Rihanna! Nobody gets her…they really don’t (check out the comments over at Just Jared). People just don’t understand, they are just not ready. She is on this whole other level – her style is funky, avant garde and VERY 80′s. The dress she was wearing during her performance (which she killed by the way) was an Alexander McQueen couture gown that reminded me of this. Hey I had a crinoline too back in the day!!! Keep ALL of YOUR CLOTHES ladies everything always comes back.
Now onto the makeup – I was talking to Julia on the phone the other night and she explained to me that I HAD to see it (I normally skip the BET awards because it is so chock full of foolery) so I caught the re-run last night and while there was plenty of foolery (Hello??? T-Pain please go sit down someplace…bahhh) it was worth it to see the look which was in a word SICK. The shadow can only be described as “pigment layered on top of pigment” (Thanks JuJu…LOL) Most young black celebrities her age are definitely NOT interested in wearing $50,000 couture gowns.
Now this is definitely not a look for everyday but if you appreciate makeup artistry like I do…it was very nice to see.
Stay Pretty!!
