Rihanna Says Past Fashion Looks Give Her the Ick: ‘Things That I Just Feel Like I Would Never Do’
Even Rihanna has some style regrets.
At the launch of her Fenty x Puma Creeper Phatty Earth Tone shoe in London on Wednesday, April 17, the multi-hyphenate, 36, shared with British Vogue what she considers her favorite looks, least favorites and which ones now “ick” her out.
The mother of two shares that one of her “fashion icks” today is showing off her nipples.
“It’s gonna sound hypocritical because I did so much s— in my life. I had my nipples out, I had my panties out…” said the Fenty Beauty founder. “But now those are the things that as a mom, an evolved young lady — emphasis on young — things that I just feel like I would never do, I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I really did that? Nips out?’ ”
Some of the Grammy winner’s most notable looks were skin-baring moments, including the famed custom Adam Selman design — which was an unforgettable fishnet dress, gloves and headscarf that was hand-embellished with over 216,000 Swarovski crystals.
Another notable NSFW fashion moment was her 2014 Met Gala afterparty gown: a Stella McCartney design that showed a lot of abs and bared a little butt crack with a daringly low back.
She quipped that she “obviously” loved her 2015 Met Gala ensemble. The Guo Pei design included a luxurious and excessively long stole that brought the wow factor to an already showstopping gown. “Nobody will ever forget that,” she said.
While Rihanna was eager to talk about her favorites, she was a tad shy to reveal one of her least favorite looks. “It was something maybe close to this, which seems kind of ironic,” the singer said as she showed off the Peter Do suit she wore during the red carpet interview.
“There was a brown, tan suit that we loved so much. The day we put it on, it was like … ‘It’s giving UPS driver.’” Although she reluctantly shared details of the outfit, she didn’t reveal what event she wore the brown suit to.
She recently revealed that her fashion inspiration for her sons, RZA, 23 months, and Riot, 7 months, comes from their father and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky.
“When I dress them, I always try to dress them like Rocky,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I always envision dressing a girl, right? We all do as women, like, ‘Oh, I’m going to dress her in these cute little things,’ but then you get sons and you’re like, ‘What do I do?’ and I was like, ‘You know what, I have the biggest hack — their dad.’ ”
