Rihanna Kicks Off Tour Wearing Inflated Ensemble

stay puft marshmallow man kung fu panda Rihanna

We did the math! Photos: Everett Collection | DreamWorks Animation | INFphoto.com

Kicking off her North American tour, Rihanna rocked shoulder pads that would make Krystle Carrington green with envy.

The "R Rated" singer, sporting her funky matador-red Woody Woodpecker 'do, showed off her va-va-voom in Vancouver in a futuristic, open-front Judy Jetson-style white dress, a pointy black bra and girdle, and ginormous, inflated black-and-white shoulder adornments.

While her outfit was truly one-of-a-kind, we couldn't help but think we've seen it before. And then it occurred to us: The 22-year-old Bajan beauty looks like a cross between Kung Fu Panda and the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

Just look at her: The wide skirt and shoulders, and, of course black-and-white color scheme, give Rihanna's kick-ass ensemble a silhouette that is eerily reminiscent of Dreamworks's martial-arts master.

And those blow-up shoulders bring to mind Marshmallow Man -- assuming the "Ghostbusters" ghoul got his arms slightly charred in an unfortunate s'mores incident.

Regardless of how wacky her stage wardrobe seems, StyleList applauds Rihanna for taking a risk. And we're not just saying that because we're afraid she'll tackle us. Honest.

In related news, Rihanna is urging girls to go green -- their hair color, that is!

She has no style and no talent, the only thing she has a lot of is mindless fans who praise mediocrity.

I think she looks utterly ridiculous. What's so great about her anyway? Just another over rated person. But you have to admit she knows how to draw attention to herself as any good clown does.

Slavery is the last time blacks supported themselves. Now, being a gangsta and thug is so important. Having a grill and big rims has taken the place of having the same rights as white people. Getting noticed and looked at has become much more important than getting a college education. Wearing the pants hanging down has taken the place of being able to afford the same clothing as white people. Dr. King would look upon this generation with disgust and distastes. Everything he fought for has been reversed.

Not jealous, just a little confused.. is this what we want our children to grow up to be? I've seen some of her videos.. it's kinda disgusting... I think she's going through her skanky stage... everyone does, I just hope she comes out the other side a classier lady....
