Fashion F*ck Ups: Rihanna

I like new fashion trends. Especially because there is always the temptation to bring it up to the next level, which often results in huge missteps (though to be fair, fashion would be a boring, bland place without risk-takers). In this case, chanteuse Rihanna wears some over-the-top Balenciaga gladiators and, well, can’t quite swing it. This has nothing to do with her and her ability to pull off edgy fashion. Fact of the matter is, the Balenciaga label does not a sartorial success make. Now if there was an ankle-high version I could certainly jump on the bandwagon, but as these stand right now … these are channelling too much gladiator, not enough glam.
