Is Rihanna a Hipster?

rihanna and leigh.jpg
We love everything about Rihanna, but lately we’ve been wondering:

Is her style going the way of Hedi Slimane and Surface 2 Air?

Witness her recent Umbrella video, where she rocks a sharp sliver of a bob, yesterday’s eyeliner, and a dress that’s halfway between Versace and Urban Outfitters.

Rihanna looks incredible but she also looks familiar -

A lot, in fact, like DJ Leigh Lezark.

Her costume institute choice was equally Houston-and-Rivington - a white gown with scuffy black gloves, and again with the hair and the eyeliner.

We’re anxious to see more of her style this season - if she starts to layer shredded tanks and pair them with anorexic black jeans, we’ll know for sure that she’s inspired by The Cobra Snake.

(Also: wouldn’t she look beautiful on a Nylon cover?)

i can see a slight (v. slight!) resemblance in style... but come on, leigh lezark looks like julia restoin-whateverthef*ckhernameis. they could be sisters! and if by some chance they are sisters, dont shoot me for being ignorant.

That hair looks a lot less Leigh Lezark, and a lot more Posh Beckham/Jenna Jameson... not exactly edgy.

p.s. Houston and Rivington don't cross each other.

This is freaky, my friends and I were watching the video and thinking the same thing last night. It's the death stare she gives the camera.

I heard two girls talking about this in Starbucks today. It's weird and I see it but I also think Rihanna will have her own game going on.

i do love her hair.

i think its funny how shes trying to be a "bad girl" (her new album is "good girl gone bad" i think) by getting a haircut and wearing all black.

a goth wardrobe does not a bad girl make. be authentic.

shes wack.

She looks great. I'm just happy she's useing her hair, not that she didn't look good in the extentions. She looks like Rihanna now, nothing fake about her.
