• Rihanna performed on American Idol last night sporting yet another new hairdo.
This time, the songstress opted for straight bangs and a dreaded ponytail. Hot! or Hmm…? (ONTD)
• This year’s CFDA awards will be broadcast in its entirety on Style.com the day after the event takes place. This is the first time the unglamorous masses will be able to see the awards from beginning to end. Check it out June 5th. (WWD)
• Anthropologie‘s Made in Kind designer collaboration initiative continues in June with capsules from Karen Walker, indie brands Norwegian Wood and Family Affair, and recent Parson’s graduate Leah Goren. Prices range from $68 to $298. Look for them in stores May 28th. (ELLE)
• It’s not that Christian Louboutin likes making uncomfortable shoes, he just doesn’t care if women are comfortable in his shoes: “I don’t want to create painful shoes, but it is not my job to create something comfortable. I try to make high heels as comfortable as they can be, but my priority is design, beauty and sexiness. I’m not against them, but comfort is not my focus.” See the difference, ladies? (Vogue UK)
• It takes Pucci designer Peter Dundas an hour and a half to get to work in Florence, Italy every morning from his apartment in Paris, France. “I usually go to work by airplane… Really, I am in an airplane four or five times a week.” Ladies and gentlemen, this is why Pucci is so expensive.

Rihanna hair and outfit is cute, not everyone can wear that outfit.
May 24, 2012 9:57 am
Rihanna….so over her! Sorry fans.
Christian Louboutin basically said, “F-Your feet!…I’m trying to make my shoes flawless.”
He should try to accomplish both. People don’t pay all that money for that. If he was that amazing he would try to make sure his customers are comfortable and FLY! I know it won’t be easy for all designs, but hell…TRY!

Rihanna had a lovely performance. I just wish she didn’t do bangs with dreads. If ur gonna do it, do it right. SN: I love the dreads on her! Yup!
May 24, 2012 10:10 am
I watched her performance last nite. I like Rihanna, just feel REALLY sorry for the girl. She went thru a lot in the public eye (heartbreak, abuse, humilitation) at a very young age. Add all of that to your typical young adult rebellion, and this is what you get. A good girl gone bad. She will redeem herself, but she will do it for herself, as she chooses, NOT FOR SOCIETY.
May 24, 2012 10:19 am
REALLY?!?!?!
Airplane to work…..smh
May 24, 2012 10:26 am
I totally agree with Shanita, I don’t always like the fashionchoices of Rihanna lately , but like she stated on twitter; she is not interested in being a role-model! Just leave some of these (young) celebrities alone (i’m not saying anything about the FBD, you’re doing great work!). I have (long) dreadlocks myself and so I’m proud to see my girl with almost the same hairstyle. The outfit is WACK. She’s really getting her hot body back!
May 24, 2012 10:44 am
I so want the Louboutin trend to go away!
May 24, 2012 10:47 am
Christian Louboutin(s) are not at all comfortable, and I find myself doing a shimmy & a shake if standing for prolonged periods in his shoes. There’s a major difference in quality sexy & rushed luxury! Jimmy Choo. Brian Atwood, Zanotti are some of the few who have a gotten the balance right.
I wish comfortability would become one of his focus. Because, we spend one hell of a check buying multiple pairs of his shoes. I don’t see how these chicks are pumping the pavement in those shoes on a regular. Even his flats are horrendously uncomfortable! That’s neither here nor there! Do you, if they are buying them!
May 24, 2012 10:49 am
Love’s Rihanna’s outfit, the hair not so much! I’m sick of hearing about Mr. Louboutin and the comfort of his shoes, booo! We’ve heard enough!
May 24, 2012 11:11 am
…didn’t know Louboutin was a trend esp. since everyone copies his designs.
*shrugs shoulders*
May 24, 2012 11:13 am
Haha! @ Ms. RichTV – giiiirl, you know Rhi Rhi must always do bangs….she nor her hairdresser are going for that.
I was in the nailshop when she came on – great performance. Don’t have cable so haven’t seen much of her lately.
May 24, 2012 11:19 am
I do own Louboutin items, no they are not the most comfortable shoe. Yes, they are incredibly sexy. But YSL shoe’s are just as sexy and are extremely comfortable. This man panders to vanity. The idea of wearing thousand dollar shoes. He appealing to women’s ego, with the illusion that you are special or better because you can purchase a $1000. I am a fashionista and this is one of the ugly truth of fashion.
May 24, 2012 11:25 am
@Brittany I thought it was just me.
May 24, 2012 11:36 am
Rihanna’s hair is a hot mess. Dreads and a straight bang…no ma’am
May 24, 2012 11:51 am
I like Rhianna’s fit, don’t really care for the hair. I don’t like ALL her fashion choices but I LOVE that she switches it up often & is not afraid to take a risk. With that I cannot be bored. As for Mr. Louboutin – sometimes it’s painful to be beautiful.
May 24, 2012 1:02 pm
In regardless to Rihanna…that’s a hell naw right there
And the Pucci designer looks like the guy from the movie Mask (goggle if you’re unfamiliar).
May 24, 2012 1:02 pm
Not the Jim Carey movie. The one starring Cher.
May 24, 2012 2:20 pm
Smh @ Christian Louboutin who is breaking the pockets of those who purchase his shoes to fatten the pockets of the orthopedists I represent. Medical Malpractice insurance isn’t cheap…
May 24, 2012 2:28 pm
Ummm if you’re going to talk about people…at least use correct spelling and grammar. (In regardless to Rihanna??? Goggle???)
May 24, 2012 2:46 pm
Are we going to not discusses the buffoonery that was Fantasias catsuit on Idol last night?!
May 24, 2012 4:24 pm
ummm louboutin isnt a trend.i can understand not liking a certain pair,but there no way in hell you can hate ALL louboutin shoes,that just hating.most of the woman that can afford to buy those shoes dont walk around in them all day anyway.i cant stand two texture hair like rihanna.i hate when i see chicks with straight bangs and the rest of the their hair kinky.choose one or the other!!!
May 24, 2012 4:41 pm
Rihanna is beautiful and her body is flawless. Let the girl live!
How is Christian Louboutin breaking your pockets? I don’t get it. HE IS NOT FORCING YOU TO PURCHASE HIS SHOES!! Get it? If u want comfort than actively SEEK shoes that are comfortable instead of wanting to be seen with your “red bottoms”. I own a few pairs and yes they are not comfortable for the most part but they aren’t made for a woman to be walking up and down the street or standing for long periods of time. Unless you’re a high heel pro like my mama, just stop the complaining! Too many chicks just want to be able to say they have CL’s and can’t even walk good in them. SMH
I don’t blame him. He’s in the business of creating the illusion of sexiness. Not making u feel comfortable. If u want to be comfortable go get some Haviana’s flip flops or a pair of Uggs.
May 24, 2012 5:46 pm
well i don’t care what Mr. Dundas has to do, just as long as he keeps up the great work. I say it again and again. I love pucci but I also love what he’s done for the brand.
May 24, 2012 10:43 pm
The ones complaining about the lack of comfort while wearing Louboutins are the same ones stating they have several pair. If they are “all” so uncomfortable, why do you keep buying them? Im confused.
May 24, 2012 10:55 pm
Rihanna needs to go sit down somewhere! She looks a hot mess… Halloween is in October RiRi!
May 25, 2012 1:34 pm
I think Erika Napoletano is especially spectacular at pulling this off. She��ll talk about some awesome/shitty/outrageous that happened to her or someone she knows and leads with what happened and then shows you what you can learn from it.
May 27, 2012 11:13 am
@Jihan, when i read the title about Rihanna’s hair i thought that it was an intended pun lol… anywhoo, she looks nice in locs. i just really wish she didn’t have straight hair at the same time and if she wanted to hide the fivehead she could’ve swooped a few locs over it.
