Now I know all you out there in web-land love Rihanna as much as the next person. She clearly was the "it" girl of 2008, and it doesn't look like she's showing any signs of stopping... Good for her! Now let's get right down to it. A friend of mine pointed out that she had seen a post on BOSSIP that clearly shows how Rihanna yanked Fefe Dobson's style. A lot of people don't know this, but Fefe was also a protege of Jay-Z's on Def Jam. And way before Rihanna turned faux-punk-avant-garde, there was Fefe. Fefe had the funky haircut, neck-to-ear tats and straight up funky style that everyone currently worships Rihanna for... 'Tis a shame. You gotta give credit where it's due. I guess I wasn't the only one who thought this, because below is a youtube video showing Rihanna and Fefe side-by-side, and Rih Rih is most certainly getting her jack-on. I guess now we know how she "re-invented" herself. Check it out below:
So what do y'all think? Is this mountain-out-of-mole-hill-making? Or is this serious? I for one was just intrigued because the media has put SO MUCH focus on how original and innovative Rihanna's style is... So if she really yanked Fefe like that-- that would be kinda crazy.... No?

Looks like a 'style jacking' to me too.
ReplyDeleteomqosh, Rihanna iis a bittah
ReplyDeleteChris Brown should leave her lol
personally, i thik rhi did take some lessons from fefe's style box, but fefe looks more grunge rock and rhi seems more elegant glammed up rockpop to me. she does it a little more lady like.
ReplyDeleteI mean.... I guess we could sit here and get specific with it, and say one is jus a more modified or refined style of the other, and therefore they are fundamentally different, but come ON... the haircut? The identical tatoos?
ReplyDeleteI mean, that is pretty "coincidental" if u ask me... The tattoo thing is what REALLY got me though. I was like woooooooow. If it wasn't for that, then maybe it wouldn't be so nuts...If u didn't see it, click on the "bossip" link. It's insane!
