Rihanna-Singer turned Military Guard?

I think its fair to say that singer/now actress (although I don't know if a role in the bomb Battleship constitutes an actress title-but I will allow it) is considered a current fashion icon.  With her every changing hair styles and colors, to her creative outfits, her fashion is always being photographed and copied by her fans.  And while she has been on vacation or touring, or whatever she has been doing all summer, I have left her outfits alone.  Until today...

Kids, a see through black dress is just as bad as a see through white dress.  I don't like to see my own panty lines, why would I want to see yours!  If you look closely at Rihanna's dress she wore in London, you can not only see her underwear, but also her bra. 

"I see London, I see France...I see Rihanna's Underpants"

But both come second to those horrible combat boots she is wearing with the dress.  Is she trying out for Battleship 2-straight to DVD sequel?  I mean even the girl in the car with her has camo on, so it seems appropriate. 

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Well besides the fact the dress and baseball cap are pretty boring, it just screams security detail.  Obviously she needs a slip or different colors of undergarments on first.  And maybe a pair of sandals instead of the boots. Something that will bring out the style of the necklace a bit more, it kind of just blends. I know Rihanna is all about her accessories.

We all make mistakes and I am sure Rihanna has a huge team and entourage to support all her needs.  So I will allow the slip up, get it "slip" up.  Buy some better undergarments or a thicker dress and BURN those shoes.  To quote Seth Green in the teen comedy circa 2002 (ah my childhood) Can't Hardly Wait, "Do they serve an orthopedic function?"  Enough said.

Brooklyn wont SINK the Battleship...Yet!

I am personally very excited to see the movie 'Battleship' due out May 18th. (Hello Taylor Kitsch)  And the publicity tour seems to have set sail pretty furiously, as I keep seeing all the stars out on the red carpet.  And while most of model Brooklyn Deckers (I know she is an "Actress" now) outfits have been very good, we have a small miss here at the Sidney Australia premiere.
Brooklyn Decker in J Mendel
The tuxedo inspired J Mendel dress is actually very nice, if you pretend not to see the gold sleeves.  You remember when you were a kid and your friend would put their hands behind their backs and you use your arms to converse for them.  You would do all kinds of funny things, while they are trying to hold a conversation.  Anyways, it looks like she has her arms behind her back and its someone else arms standing in for her.  Am I wrong?  The sleeves just don't go with the dress.  And I cannot see any shoes, so sadly I cannot comment on those. At first glance, I thought she threw on a gold jacket, but then I realized, nope that was done on purpose. 
LeAnn Rimes & Nicole Kidman
And while I was looking for a picture of this dress, I found something even MORE amazing.  A few posts back I commented on a dress LeAnn Rimes wore to the Academy of Country Music Awards.  A dress similar to one Nicole Kidman had already worn.  Here is reminder to the right.  Well seems like Brooklyn Deckers stylists were a fan as well, only she wore it in black.  This Stella McCartney dress didn't get too much love from me a few weeks ago, but I think it is a little bit better on the model-turned-actress, than the country singer-turned actress. The cutouts are a bit different and its not a one shoulder dress, but I still think we could do without!

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Since I already discussed the Stella dress, we will leave that one alone.  As for the J Mendel dress, lets rip off the sleeves and then there should be a vast improvement.

Overall, its not a terrible ding in the 'Battleship' armor for Brooklyn.  We are all allowed a few bad clothing choices (I just cleaned out my closest-I can attest to that.)  So no need to BURN the dress, just the sleeves...might be pretty.  And the stylists, from as far as I can tell, have done right by you, so need to FIRE.

But what do you guys think?  Lots of dresses, so little time to critique!
