Rihanna Wears See-Through Dress, Twerks In It
by Andy NeuenschwanderIf anyone else had worn this Adam Selman dress to the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards, it would have been a scandal. But Rihanna wore it, and she's made a point of making the world intimately acquainted with her nipples, so...yeah.
The 26-year-old singer certainly turned heads at the event with the gown, which was constructed of a see-through fabric covered in Swarovski crystals. Mel Ottenburg, Rihanna's personal stylist, had her hang-ups about the dress. "It's so naked," she said. "I don't know if it's shocking—I'm with her all the time, so my shock gauge is off, but I told her that I thought she was ready for this dress a while ago, and that I wasn't I'm the prude, and I'm just catching up."
When E! News asked Rihanna if she planned to wear the dress all night, she responded, "Why? Yes I am. Do my t*ts bother you?"
However, the singer did make a costume change later in the night, opting for a slim white gown and a white blazer, neither of which were particularly transparent.
That's not before Rihanna decided to twerk in the dress, because she's classy. In an Instagram video posted by her hairstylist, Yusef, Rihanna can be seen entering a room in the gown and twerking against a table, strategically covering up some areas with the fur stole accessory.
The dress is designed to stir up controversy (Selman said as much himself), but we'll say this: Rihanna pulled off the look, and she might be the only person alive who could do so.
