Hit or Miss?

Rihanna wearing strategic stripes

Some online newspaper readers have slaughtered Rihanna because she was seen in this sexy, stripey dress.

Comments have been made that it's tacky. Cheap-looking! She's crying out for attention. Who is she or who does she think she is? They're bored of this non-entity and the criticisms go on.

I'm not going to sit here and lie and tell you that all criticisms were negative because some people said she looked hot, she's beautiful, at least her assets are real, she's a good singer & entertainer and if they were young and beautiful, they'd be happy to wear a see-through peek-a-boo dress to.

I'm leaning towards agreeing that she's young and beautiful and the dress looks good on her and it's often just a moment in time when you can get away with overt sexiness.

Youth doesn't last very long and plastic surgery confirms that people will do anything to stay looking young. When you're young, you can be forgiven for being risque and trying out controversial things that draw attention to yourself. Also, as age kicks in and it will kick you... a lot of women have a shape that leaves them standing in front of the mirror wondering why their belly's hanging over their knickers and wondering why their breasts are reaching out for the floor. So Rihanna might as well take advantage of this wonderful stage in her life.

Anyway, I'd much rather see her looking cool with a slinky dress than pictured black & blue because love turned the wrong corner.

Hello August, my sister sent me this link and she said have a look at Rianna in the skankiest dress. When I saw it, I nearly died, DIED b'cos I'd kill for a dress like that. My sister is 8 years older than me so I think it's a generational thing when people think dressing sexy, especially if you're a celebrity, is tacky. I guess good shaped celebrities can get away with this sort of get up. I wouldn't wear this on a night out with the girls, but I would probably wear it when I'm with my boyfriend. he'd protect me from the mawling and grabby men. He'd probably think it was too much of a headache for him to take anyway. I also think othr women would give me evil eyes. But I think she looks good in it and I'd wear it if I could.

Oh yes, I definitely agree that Rihanna's dress is a generational thing. I'd wear it right now. But I know for sure a lot of my older friends would think it was a bit tarty.

I love what she's waring. Ri looks sexy and I would have died and gone to heaven to meet, let alone have someone like her.

Girlies, get your dresses on.
