Grammys Worst Dressed: Rihanna

Her songs are all over the radio, and she certainly didn't disappoint in her performance with The Time, but darling Rihanna could have done so much better on the red carpet. I love a short haircut, and Rihanna definitely has the cute, girlish face to pull it off, but a style that was a little less spiky would have suited the dress. Not that the dress was all that great. I can appreciate a low neckline as much as the next girl, but not when it looks like it's actually supposed to be higher and is just drooping. I won't even mention that Rihanna had a set of Day-Glo orange claws as a manicure.

Now that's an ugly dress. The designer even managed to create a middle-age paunch that she doesn't have. Hideous!

I don't mind the dress' body, but the end was another thing.

I didn't really like all the feathers, or the mani-pedi.

But she pulled off the dress I must say.

Cat you have an odd since of style, no offence. Rihanna is a very beautiful girl although I don't really think she can sing worth a lick. This dress doesn't give her justice. I'm not really feeling the new haircut either.

I think her hair is adorable.

But this dress really should've stayed on the runway.

The color is nice though.

I hate to break to everyone but Rihanna is georgeous and her hair is the bomb and so in style. I agree the dress is not what I would have picked but I'm sure it's whats in style or whatever. But seriously the hair works for her. She also had good accessories and I love the pink fingernails and toenails. Overall it did not deserve to be one of the worst dressed picks.

This dress is completely Rihanna's style because she is always looking so edgy and the color is bold. I think she looks great in the dress. She is always setting trends. Plus her haircut is totally edgy too! Soon people will chopping off they're old Rihanna-style asymmetrical bobs to get this look.

I think all of you have no fashion sense. Her dress is adorable. Its the Grammys for goodness sake. Have you seen what models are wearing on the cover of Vouge and stuff? No, of course you haven't because you don't care about high fashion. The bottom of her dress is the best part and you people are INSANE! I can see making fun of Fergie because she looked like Caution! tape, or even Chris Brown, but Rihanna looks FABULOUS!!

that dress is pretty bad. and what about the dress she wore when she sang 'umbrella'? that looked like she was wearing animal skins. what happened to the pretty girl with light brown, mid-back length hair that is on the cover of the 'pon de replay' single? her hair was cute when it was kind of short, but the spiky, super-short cut is too severe.
