So, I’m a day late writing about this and realize it’s not new news but I simply couldn’t decide quite how I felt about Rihanna and well if I’m going to talk about the CFDAs how can I not take a stance on Rihanna’s outfit.
In case all you know is about Rihanna’s nipples here is what the CFDA is

There are some BIG names on the list and it’s now proven to the world that the Olsen twins are actually successful and kick ass at what they do. Then there is Rihanna – and I couldn’t agree more that they chose her for fashion icon award. She has evolved in the fashion world, she has a diverse and eccentric fashion sense and can go from basic to ball gowns and look FLAWLESS in either one.
Not to mention she just started her own fashion line and has played a role in mentoring up and coming stylists. From Glamour UK:
“The award isn’t just for her contributions to the fashion industry – hell knows we loved her River Island collection – it’s also for her philanthropic partnership with the MAC AIDS Fund’s Viva Glam campaign. The award is given to someone whose style has made an impact on pop culture around the world.[…]
Previous Fashion Icon Award winners include Lady Gaga, Iman, Kate Moss and Nicole Kidman.”
So it all boils down to, why the hell she chose to wear this…
Total points for;
– Everyone was talking about her, and only her
– At least she wore underwear
– She has banging body
Deductions for;
– The swim cap, I may have been okay with the dress if there was no cap
– It looks like a fusion of Britney and JLO
With all that said here are some of the other celebs that attended that no one gave 2 shits about…
