But Rihanna and Dior’s latest venture left our forums with mixed feelings. “No please!! How dare they get her to design a range for the brand? This isn’t River Island, it’s Dior. Their prestige just went down the drain. Beyond sick of Rihanna and her fashion following. She simply doesn’t know when enough is enough. People keep comparing her to Grace Jones, but Jones would simply never flog her image and creativity to every Tom, Dick and Harry,” slammed an unforgiving Benn98.

“I love Rihanna but this is kind of awful… just stick to singing my love… and Dior, seriously? Why are they playing so cheap?” asked a horrified KissMiss shortly after.

Also not having any of it was Lola701, pointing out, “Imagine how it would have been if Raf [Simons] was still there: having a celebrity in charge of something creative when you’re the creative! I was going to say that it looks awfully similar to Dior’s [John] Galliano era 2003 sunglasses. The funny thing about it is that she wears less Dior than any other Dior spokeswoman.”

Marc10 shared a slightly different attitude. “I quite like those shades. They’re not really easy to pull off, but they have a 90s vibe that is so different from what’s popular these days. And those pictures are so great, Rihanna can sell virtually anything. Very few women have this kind of powerful style aura that she has,” he complimented.

“I really like the glasses, and Rihanna looks amazing,” agreed TREVOFASHIONISTO.
