Say the truth @ 05/05/2009 at 9:47 am

That is horrible…if anyone else wore this…they would be all on them! But because it’s her and she’s a victim of D.V she’s ok….don’t get me wrong i’m not for D.V….it’s been in my life since i was young…but i’m all about fairness!!

As someone mentioned before, it wasn’t a costume gala. It was held for the Costume Institute.
Rihanna would probably look cute in a tuxedo that was cut more flattering. This one is too bulky and looks like it could double as a life jacket.

The outfit does nothing for her. In fact the sleeves are ridiculous.
