The mark of a great style icon is the ability to spark trends and influence the personal style of others. In a sense, Rihanna is that chick who sparks movements in fashion.
Don’t believe me? Check out the jacket that D-list rapper Lola Monroe is wearing in these pics. Notice the spiked embellishment on the shoulders? Rihanna started that.
RiRi may not be a great singer, and her album may have flopped, but you can’t deny her style influence on her peers!
Oh, by the way, these pics were taken by Styleentco in Baltimore on Nov. 28.
Thanks to loyal reader Michelle V. of Lola Monroe Music for the pics!
I disagree! MOST CHICKS N THE GAME ARE FOLLOWERS & NOT LEADERS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE FOR TRENDS. I PREFER CLASSIC STYLES AND FASHION PIECES. TRENDS COME AND GO
I meant 3rd pic
Some of her stuff is hit or miss, like the dresses she choosed are pure fiyah, but some of these pieces, such as this studded mess, can be left at home. She has a damn shoe game to die for though.

Most of the people in the industry look like clones, very few are original. Remember the Beyonce “blonde phase”. Thought it would never end.
I call my style preppy chic. I like it simple and classic.
Why..would her stylist let her take that photo from the rear where her shorts look like jean cutoffs? Am I the only one who sees all of that washed and worn fringe?!? Not a good look- the front is obviously more finished.
WORK BISH!! Swagg on a hundred thousand million
Can’t wait to see what she rocks to the Grammys!

grace jones started that….

and it is too early in the morning for all that plastic the asisan vampire (kim) and ho-la angel luv got going on in those pics.
*asian. told you it was too early.
You know what’s crazy to me … calling someone a style ICON that has a stylist. HOW in thee world do you call someone a style ICON that has a stylist… the person does not even pick their own clothes out for themselves someone else does I agree that the customer may say yes or no to a certain look but come on!!!
She looks like she’s got ona dirty diaper!
Yes, Rhi Rhi is THAT DEAL when it comes to fashion…
Lola Monroe, or whoeva the hell this chick is tryin to be is absoutley rediculous..
Lil Kim… Well, what can I say????
LMFAO @ #11 —
U hit that dead on the nail!!!!!!!
That outfit is really sloppy on her. The jacket is too big and looks like it was sewn at home, the shorts are raggedy, and her cottage cheese is exposed. Lola usually does better than this.
Poor Lil Kim…she ain’t learned any makeup tips, yet? She wasn’t looking that hoof when she was on DWTS. She needs to call Jai Jai, but they need to go easy on them eyebrows!
Lil Kim, them contacts gotta go mama!!! That was sooooo 90’s…

ironically in the 90’s she was down with her OWN eye color.
down with her own FACE…
down with her own body….
down with her own skin tone…
where is krysi…i need her to say “no it would help if YOU were black…” in her angie bassett “waiting to exhale” voice…
One word that describes these 2 (lil kim & Lola) FLAMMABLE!!! from the body to the hair

Both of these plastic surgery rejects are like two giant ziploc bags.
ANd?……
Awwww ain’t that cute two Plastic doll babies… Ugh!
Oh yeah this post is about Rihanna’s style influece, isn’t it? Yeah homegirl is a fashion icon I like her look and wish I could rock it, but it wouldn’t look right on me. I’ve tried it and that ish went wayyyyyyyyyy left.

double
Angel Lola Luv and Lil Kim both look a HOT MESS… Please don’t duplicate a style if you can’t pull it off
They both look like two cheap barbie dolls brought from the dollar store
No frills
@Civil that song is WACK and I STANS for Akeys she doesnt sound good and Bey is singing to damn hard as usual :rolleyeys:
:rollseyes:
@MissGauzzz Thank you!
@Daisy….I’m still trying to figure out where’s she’s going with this album? The few songs I’ve heard don’t mesh well to me
Rhianna to me is a tack head not a fashion icon, neither is her stylist. And if Lola and Kim call them selves dressing like Rhianna, they’ve both succeeded w/ looking like damn fools.
Angel please don’t wear shorts ever again
!!!!!
Her style is usually cute, even this is cute except her damn backside and small ass bird legs…that shit ain;t natural
!!!
I see Kim got on her booty pads…damn I feel sorry for chicks that ain’t naturally got a PHAT ASS like myself
!!!!
Sandra–Riri is not an ICON so please stop referring to her as one.
Lil Kim looks like that girl Taylor on that “Tough Love” reality show. Or Taylor looks like Lil Kim. Either way…they both look a freakin mess.
Dayumm Kim, she was so pretty before the plastic surgery fiasco. When she was in Junior Mafia with the short cut and the furs? That was my bish.
Rhianna looks like Cassie in that picture. Its a pretty picture though. Kim and that other tramp look rediculous.
I agree with Tyzgurl. Kim used to be so pretty back then. Now she looks ummmmm…..Not human.
Auntie Sandra it has been reported that hoe azz Tila Tiquila went in on Rihanna. Saying yo girl Rihanna got “Herpes” & passing that ***t around. She also described how much of a diva Rihanna is and she tries 2 project herself 1 way 2 us when in fact she’s just as cold and callous as they come. Check up on this Auntie….I got a feeling this aint the end of this feud.
I can’t wait until this spike phase is GONE! H.A.M.
“RiRi may not be a great singer, and her album may have flopped, but ”
^^^
Ok thats where I had to stop and laugh my ass of….
Rihanna has not started any fad whatsoever PUNK ROCK was out in the 80’s now is she bringing some trends back NO and NO – she can’t sing, she can’t dress someone dresses her, and she can’t act right…..she needs to go back to school and start all over again!
@purplexxe7….I saw that! She’s firing back Rihanna for talking about her on Big Boy’s show. I think she’s just repeating what was already out there…there was a rumor that Chris hit her because she “burned” him. She may not have herpes though
what the hell is wrong with LoLa’s ass???!! she has the WORST butt implants I have ever seen! she looks horrible from the back. Lil Kim no comment.
I will assume that Lola had the jacket and shoes custom-made for her to replica Rihanna’s look. Those glasses, I’ve seen before. I’m not sure who the designer is of Rihanna’s outfit but I know damn sure Lola cannot afford it. #justsayin
LOL @ #11 too!!
Rihanna’s album did NOT flop. Billboard.com just said this album that came out last week gave her the HIGHEST FIRST WEEK SALES of her career. Good Girl Gone Bad, didn’t sell that much the first week. The QUESTION is, how well will it hold up for the rest of the year and next year? If it doesn’t sell a million or more copies within a year, THEN it’s a flop. I’m just sayin….
Lola behind does looks awkward in that pic. Her shoes from what I can see looks cute minus the spikes.
