Rihanna Wears Sparkly, See-Through Dress At The CFDA Awards

Rihanna won the Fashion Icon Award at the 2014 CFDA Awards Friday night in New York City. But it was her appearance on the red carpet in a completely see-through gown that gave her the wow factor.

According to the press release, the celebrity walked the red carpet in a bespoke Adam Selman creation that included a “fishnet dress, gloves, and headscarf… hand-embellished with over 216,000 Swarovski crystals.” She kept her jewelry simple (for her), opting for Paul Morrelli diamond drop earrings and a cocktail ring, as well as a Jacob & Co. piece.

Last month’s MTV Movie Awards sparked the notion to have him create it. Selman told style.com, “We started talking about it, and I sketched it shortly after.”

The singer came up with the concept for the matching do-rag.

‘It brings such a Rihanna feel to the whole thing,’ he said.

‘The dress is just fishnet and crystals and a couple of fingers crossed. But fashion is about beauty, and the [female] body is part of that.’ Selman told Style.com

Another item she limited to a bare minimum was her underwear. Rih opted for simply the smallest, filmiest nude thong instead of a bra in order to show off the garment to its best potential. Even her undergarments were in doubt due to the clever positioning of her fuzzy pink stole, yet they were visible on her hip when she turned around.

The singer finished her daring ensemble Manolo Blahnik heels.

Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of American Vogue, gave the award to the Barbados-born actress. “I can compensate for all of my weaknesses with fashion,” the artist remarked during her victory speech. “Fashion should never be frustrating, it should be fun.”

‘Growing up I didn’t have a lot of access to fashion. But, um, as far as I could remember, fashion has always been my defense mechanism. Even as a child I remember thinking, “She can beat me, but she cannot beat my outfit.” And to this day I mean, that is how I think about it,’ she remarked during her acceptance speech.

Selman has worked with Rihanna’s stylist Mel Ottenberg for a long time, and the two recently collaborated on a look that Selman described as “a little bit scandalous.” “I did this look for her so she’d have a good time. This was the perfect night do to something fun, and I wanted her to have something great that you couldn’t find anywhere else in the world,” Ottenberg told Style.com about the outfit.

THR was on hand for what has become known as the “Oscars of fashion.” DVF, John Waters, Jennifer Hudson, Solange, Chanel Iman, and Blake Lively were among the celebrities that attended the event.

Rihanna is known for her bold and daring sense of style. She has become a fashion icon, and she has also successfully launched several successful fashion and beauty lines, solidifying her reputation as a savvy businesswoman.

Born on February 20, 1988 in Saint Michael, Barbados, Rihanna began her music career in 2003, and she quickly became known for her unique blend of pop, R&B, and dancehall styles.

Over the course of her career, she has released several critically acclaimed albums and singles, and she has won numerous awards, including nine Grammy Awards.

In addition to her music career, Rihanna has also made a name for herself in the fashion world. She has been a guest editor at Vogue, and she has appeared on the cover of numerous fashion magazines, including British Vogue, American Vogue, and Harper’s Bazaar.

She has also walked the runway for top designers, including Marc Jacobs and Dior.

Rihanna’s personal style is bold and unapologetic, and she is known for her willingness to try new and daring fashion trends.

She often mixes high-end designer pieces with streetwear and vintage items, and she is not afraid to experiment with color and pattern. She has been named one of the best-dressed women in the world by several publications, and her fashion choices are often imitated by fans and followers.

In addition to her fashion sense, Rihanna has also proven herself to be a successful entrepreneur. In 2017, she launched Fenty Beauty, a cosmetics line that offers a wide range of products for women of all skin tones.

The line was a huge success, and it quickly gained a devoted following. She followed up the success of Fenty Beauty with the launch of Savage X Fenty, a lingerie line that offers a wide range of sizes and styles.

Rihanna has also ventured into fashion design, collaborating with brands such as Puma and Manolo Blahnik on clothing and shoe lines.

She has also released her own fashion line, Fenty, which offers a range of clothing and accessories. The line has been praised for its inclusive sizing and diverse range of styles, and it has been well-received by fashion critics and consumers alike.

In addition to her fashion and beauty ventures, Rihanna has also established herself as a philanthropist.

She has donated millions of dollars to charity, and she has worked with organizations such as the Clara Lionel Foundation and the Global Partnership for Education. She has also been an advocate for education and access to education for girls in developing countries.
