Yea, Nay, Or Eh: Rihanna’s Fourth of July Pasties
partner
Rihanna celebrated the
Fourth of July with some strategically placed sparklers—namely,
sequined nipple covers that, in lieu of a real top, peaked out from
under her black tuxedo blazer. While we appreciate the patriotic
sentiment—and the singer certainly carried off the look with
aplomb—we think a more subtle homage to the flag (a
stars-and-stripes bustier, perhaps?) could have been just as sexy.
What do you think? Was Rihanna’s lack of underwear an exercise in
fashion independence, a fashion-forward nod in the direction of
Fall’s lingerie trend (see
Balenciaga,
Alexander Wang,
Givenchy, et al.), or does it infringe on the laws of good
taste?
