Rihanna appeared to have forgotten the finding philosophy of the Chanel brand, “elegance lies in simplicity.”
The “Rude Boy” singer was photographed attending the Chanel show as part of Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Fall/Winter 2013-2014 at Grand Palais, Paris today.
The fashion show is a welcome break from the hard-partying ways that has allegedly caused the pop singer to repeatedly arrive late for shows on her Diamonds World Tour. The next stop on the extensive world tour will be to a sold-out crowd in Berlin this evening.
Rihanna is wearing top to bottom Chanel as is customary when attending a respective brand’s runway show, in this case an outdoor exhibition courtesy of longtime head designer Karl Lagerfeld.
The pop singer arrived in a sheer button-down Chanel dress that left little the imagination, but miraculously managed to avoid a looming wardrobe malfunction.
Always intent on upping the shock value, Rihanna showed off her nipple ring, plenty of legs and a torso tattoo of the Egyptian goddess Maat. Her golden locks and subtle make-up helped bring some balance to the look.
Despite the ill-fit of the button-down dress, RiRi remains one of few celebrities who has a body to pull off such an ensemble and make it look sultry.
So we must ask, keep it or ditch it?
