What do you wear to pick up one of the fashion industry’s most coveted style prizes? Well, if you’re in Rihanna and your fashion USP is audaciousness teamed with unapologetic brazenness, you wear nothing.
Well, nothing bar a shimmering sheer floor-length dress that reveals everything, nipples et al, in a move that would make Instagram censors dive for cover.
Her modesty was just about hidden by a nude coloured thong, which she covered with a fur stole.
Part Josephine Baker, part sphinx, she teamed her Adam Selman-designed dress with a sparkling turban. While conservative fashion critics may bemoan her wardrobe choice and tell her to cover up, this might be the most ‘Rihanna’ ensemble she’s ever worn – it’s admirably confident, fearlessly individual and unashamedly provocative.
Not even Solange Knowles – who also attended the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards last night – would have picked a fight with her, so intimidating was Rihanna’s near-naked presence.
In a sea of innocuously-dressed models and actresses, Rihanna was a refreshingly, defiant antidote.
