Rihanna’s Questionable New Accessory: A ’90s Visor

Rihanna’s Questionable New Accessory: A ’90s Visor

AKM-GSI Rihanna is known for her fashion risks, so it’s not  that surprising that she decided to rock an orange visor earlier this week. The “Where Have You Been” singer was spotted leaving Giorgio Baldi, an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles, sporting her newest headpiece along with a loose collared sailor-striped shirt, wide-leg blue trousers, gold hoops and her signature talons. The Bajan babe is all about the occasional topper — she loves a flat-brimmed baseball hat , after all — but this new headpiece is definitely one to talk about. But hey, if anyone can make a visor the new summer staple (hello, ’90s!), it’s definitely Rihanna, right? What do you think? Can Rihanna pull off a visor?

Silver Factory , an Irish denim and T-shirt brand, just released a pair of denim cut-offs inspired by the songstress (top right).

PHOTO: Lady Gaga Wears Another Meat Dress

Courtesy Lady Gaga; Landov There’s the beef: the unforgettable meat dress Lady Gaga wore at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards has made a comeback — kind of. The superstar recently wore another raw design, this time at her Born This Way Ball concert in Tokyo. On Monday, Gaga Tweeted a photo of herself (shot by famed photographer Terry Richardson) performing her song “Americano” while wearing the meat dress (and shoes) 2.0 surrounded by what appeared to be fake animal carcasses. The getup, more modest than the first, featured a sweetheart neckline and bubble skirt. The singer’s first jaw-dropping meat look was made out of real slabs of beef and designed by Franc Fernandez. And though Gaga didn’t confirm or deny this new look was made out of actual raw meat, we suspect — and hope — it wasn’t since she wore it while performing.
