There's no mystery when it comes to Rihanna's fishnet blouse at last night's Balmain after party during Paris Fashion Week. There's no 'oooh look, side boob!' or 'wait, is that perhaps a shadow of nipple?' No, it's all WHAT'S UP, THESE ARE MY BOOBS.
We shouldn't be surprised. This is a gal who regularly Instagrams her perfect bum in a denim thong and the suchlike. And recently told* US Vogue* that she thinks of a bra as merely an accessory, not a necessity: 'If I'm wearing a top, I don't wear a bra. If I am wearing a bra, I just wear a bra.'
So far, so rudey nudey. Except.... earlier in the day she'd gone to another extreme. She didn't just cover up in a casual sweater for the Lanvin front row; she buttoned it all up to her neck in a grey flannel suit and swathed her breasts in about a foot's worth of Lanvin fur wrapped up into a bolero. She even accessoried with some very Annie Hall brogues and a fedora.
In short, Rihanna is a woman of contrasts - and perhaps that is the key to her appeal. Next up? Surely a combination of both: some fur nipples pasties.
