Rihanna was in LA last night at the launch party for Fenty Hair and before we talk about anything else, we need to talk about this outfit because… well… if there’s going to be another Outfit of the Week this week it has to match up to this and RiRi has thrown down what looks like an impossible challenge. 

 

A gorgeous red leather bomber and skirt over a camisole, with the jacket worn off the shoulder, and then those jewels. And the way she’s posing, showing those angles. Like, look at this, look at the different shapes she can create with the strategically baggy structure:

And of course all of it topped off by her short hair, purposefully worn like this to market her new line of haircare products, on sale on Thursday. Which means she’s working and when Rihanna works, it’s full engagement, and apparently no question is off the table. Including questions about R9. 

 

Last week Sarah posted about RiRi’s “I’m Retired” t-shirt. Of course she’s not retired; as she told Entertainment Tonight, she’s obviously clocking in at this event, so the CEO is still in the office. But she does know that people were triggered by that tee…

 

…but she’s trolling, right? Because later on inside the party, she said this, LOL:

 

If you think the fans are going to stop asking though, they won’t now because here’s the clip that they’re all sharing, with hope: 

Ohhhkayyyy, but, like, she’s been saying this for at least a year now. And if she’s truly “starting over”, it means we are nowhere close – why are these people out here saying that R9 is coming “soon”? There’s nothing “soon” about “starting over”!
