In All Honesty, We All Hope Someone “Beats the Fucking Crap Out” of Chris Brown

VIDEO: Some chick calls Chris Brown a “fucking beater” and says. “I hope someone beats the fucking crap out of you!” Chris Brown fans respond by yelling “Smack that bitch up”. We’re not surprised…
MOMENT OF STYLE: Rihanna

I don’t even think I have the words to describe how amazing this dress is, and how gorgeous Rihanna looks in it.
MOMENT OF STYLE: Rihanna Wears Martin Margiela

Rihanna rocks a full sleeve Martin Margiela creation to a show during Paris Fashion Week. Hate the rest of her look, but the white sleeve is amazing.
WTF!?!: Rihanna

Rihanna stock has risen to style icon status but this look is plummeting as fast as the dow.
Rihanna Gets New Hairdo

Rihanna cuts her hair again, is spotted at the Balmain Paris show wearing harem pants and a ‘spock ear‘ shoulder jacket.
More Side Boob

In high school I was laughed at cuz I thought that wearing a black bra under a white tee was cool/sexy…now you just have to reveal the entire thing. Here is Rihanna showing us some side bra.
LOOKBOOK: Dazzle Me Formal, Fall 2009

The latest collection from my friends at Dazzle Me Formal is one I’m super excited about. The Smooth Criminals collection is based on the faces of Hollywood that were part of famous domestic abuse incidents. I know that may sound a bit harsh, but it focuses even more on the idea that they are normally kept quite and the repercussions are minimal.

The line features two of the most famous battered couples in the Hollywood, Madonna and Sean Penn, and Chris Brown and Rihanna. The distressed look of the shirts is really awesome as well.
Want one of these for yourself? Get one here!
QUEST: What Are Your Thoughts On Rihanna’s New Hair? Love or Hate?

Some say that short hair isn’t as versatile as long hair, but Rihanna is proving all of them wrong. With her shaved sides, rainbow of highlights and love of hair gel every week it seems like she is rocking a different style. This week its chunky blonde highlights, love it or hate it? Comment or tweet @fashionindie with your responses.
Rihanna Shows Off the Side Boob

The side boob is taking over the fashion scene…spotted earlier was Gwen Stefani rocking the side boob, now Rihanna gives us her take on this current trend.
QUEST: Who WIll Be The Bigger Incluence On Fashion? Rihanna or Gaga?

That’s my winner! I say Gaga based solely on the fact that when (yes I am sure it will happen), she starts designing, or collaborating, her pieces may not be practical or sell, but they are the type of fashion people like seeing.

All I see for Rihanna is a Target collection, or something designed to make money, which it won’t. I think Rihanna’s style is contrived from many different creative minds, where as Gaga’s is a majority her own.
Don’t let me be the final word, I want to know what you think!
WTF!?!: Rihanna


I’d probably like this one-piece if it was in a different color, I’m just not feeling the camel, it makes Rihanna look bigger than she is (which isn’t big at all). Check out those nails!

FASHION INDIE PLAYLIST: Rihanna, Kanye, And Jay-Z ‘Run This Town’ [VIDEO]
The wardrobe for this video is absolutely sick.
Jay-Z (the head of the song) said:
“The song is about evolution and the progress, you start out as a new artist and you make your way into the game. You climb that mountain and you get to the top and you put your flag down. This is us putting our flag down. This is Roc Nation. Pledge your allegiance. You’ve got to put your flag at the top of the mountain and say we run this town.”

25 UNDER 25: Stylish People To Know
We’ve composed a list of the twenty five most stylish people we know under twenty five (well, a couple are “25″). Influences, creatives, or just plain crazy people, here’s Fashion Indie’s take on who to know, and who we wish we were as stylish as:
Celebrities-
Rihanna- Ri’s been really stepping it up lately. She’s got a wide range of looks, and is starting to find a world of her own when it comes to her style.
Lady Gaga- Everyone knows she’s crazy. Lady Gaga is definitely changing the views of fashion right now
Taylor Momsen- Are you surprised? You know we love her.
Emma Watson- The young HP actress is growing up! And looking hot at every event, if we do say so ourselves.
The Olsen Twins- They’ve been in the fashion eye for awhile now, and now that they’ve got some of their own lines, they always look awesome.
Zoe Kravitz- Lenny’s daughter! This teen has been making a lot of appearances lately, and looks good!
–
Models-
Chanel Iman- Our favorite model to follow on Twitter. Chanel is so adorable, and has really awesome style (check out those boots!)
Tallulah Morton- She’s all over the Cobra Snake (in a Cory Kennedy way), and always looking fly.
Cole Mohr- This is for you Kirby. Cole brought boyish and grunge to the fashion forefront, for models anyway. Plus he’s incredibly handsome, which definitely isn’t a bad thing.
Ethan James- Ethan is being seen more and more on the fashion scene (Milan fashion week, H & M, tons of editorial spreads), and has a similar look to Cole. I actually went to high school with this Ford model, and he’s been the most stylish guy I know since he was 15.
Jethro Cave- Pioneered the half-shaved head. LOVE those hanger tattoos.
–
Fashion Personalities and Party People-
Alexa Chung- Whether she’s dressed to kill or wearing denim cutoffs, Alexa Chung is always on top of her game.
Chloe Sevigny- Great designer, great style icon. I’m in love with her buckle booties, which she is seen wearing a lot, paired with skinny pants or cute dresses. Definitely a hipster style icon. We know she isn’t exactly under 25, but she’s been around for so long as a stylish designer to know, and like our moms, is one of those women that turn 25 every year for the rest of their lives.
Peaches Geldof- This social always looks gorgeous (as do all the Geldofs), for events or on the street with her fake fiance.
Aaron Kolfage- Fashion Indie’s favorite party host and dear friend, Aaron always looks fierce on Friday nights at Ruff Club. He dresses with such creativity, I haven’t seen anything like it anywhere else. This weekend, Aaron was wearing a giant tulle bowtie with a brooch in the middle, and I was mad jealous. Aaron gives us Midwesterners hope for being incredibly stylish, he’s from Michigan!
Fashion Bloggers-
Pelayo of Kate Loves Me – This guy, and his girlfriend, both have killer style. He wears some of the craziest things I’ve ever seen (including Louis Vuitton mesh tights!), and has perfectly coiffed hair at all times.
Lovisa The Intern- Lovisa Drever is all over Lookbook.nu, but I know her from Waffles + Falafels (who even briefly carried a shirt with her photo on it). She’s got a killer sense of style and can pull anything off, plus adds to the crazy personalities of W + F, who are some of my favorite people.
Six Six Sick Girls- These hosts and bloggers DIY matching outfits for their events, which include everything from red wigs to elbow gloves. They not only have a crazy (and matching) sense of DIY style, they also post some (literally) sick stuff on their blog.
Kirby Marzec- Fashion Indie’s own managing editor, Kirby not only knows everything about every designer, and what’s going to be hot next season, but she also isn’t afraid to pull it off. Whether it’s drop (to the knee) crotch pants, DIY ripped tees, or metal vests, you can be assured that Kirby will wear it, and she’ll wear it damn well.
Jazzi McG- We had a half hour long talk the other day about how much we love Jazzi’s blog, and her style. A queen of DIYing and always dressed perfectly for the occasion, she’s definitely one to watch.
Tavi of Style Rookie- Tavi is no rookie, maybe in the way that ‘Rookie of the Year’ becomes a professional baseball player, Tavi dresses better than some veterans of fashion.
Camille of Childhood Flames- Another not-even-legal fashion blogger showing that you don’t have to have a career to be fashionable, this sixteen year old is a pro at mixing designer goods with things we can afford, and is also taking advantage of the DIY world.
Lucas Logan- This 18-year-old from LA is all over the internet, model/blogger (Stylish Kids In Riot)/designer, Lucas is California’s newest ‘It’ Kid, braces and all.
–
Musicians-
Uffie- I mean look at her, in.sane.
The Veronicas- I’ve followed The Veronicas since I was in high school, and their style has definitely evolved into rocker chic. They always look good separately, and even better together, on stage or off, and aren’t afraid to take risks.
MOMENTS OF STYLE: Rihanna At Inglourious Basterds


Glad to see Ri finally is changing her hair! I love the lace gloves, and the piles of pearls don’t even seem overbearing. Mcqueen does it again!



Rihanna glams up for the Dec issue of Glamour Mag.
