Hey!
So with Rihanna always in the spotlight for her daring fashion choices, I thought it apropos to (finally) take a quick look at her long time stylist:
…Mariel Haenn.
The half Puerto Rican image sculptor is the stylistic force behind Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and “Hate that I Love You” videos, as well as the mastermind behind dozens of her red carpet, performance, and candid outfits:
Not limited to just Rih Rih, Mariel was recently tapped by Ciara, working with the ATL songstress for red carpet appearances as well as videos such as “Work” “Go Girl” and “Love Sex and Magic”:
Haenn has been known to work with Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Meagan Good, Keri Hilson, Angela and Vanessa Simmons and even Lauren Conrad!
In an interview with Latina Magazine, Haenn said, “At first I thought I wanted to design clothes, but styling turned out to be more exciting. It allowed me to design the overall look and help create distinguished personalities for musicians and celebs.â€

I wish Rachael Zoe would eat something, I still love her style though, but Rihanna’s stylist takes the cake, because Riri has on just about everything. The Stylist, should be the ones credited for starting alot of trends honestly.

THANK YOU! I’ve been waiting for someone to give MARIEL her props not just the person wearing the clothes. Finally is right!

Props to Mariel for being a brilliant stylist. Rihanna gets NO credit. She never got any from me anyway. LOL I didn’t realize how many celebs she’s styled. She gets major props!
