Shining bright like a diamond, Rihanna arrives to receive her award in a glitzy and sheer gown by Adam Selman.
Rihanna has constantly shown the audience what it means to be a risk taker and when it comes to style and fashion choices, the level of risk goes off the charts like a fever bursting through the thermometer.
At yesterday’s Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards, Rihanna was honoured with a Fashion Icon Award and to prove her indisputable merit for the award, she turned up in a sheer halter neck dress customized by Adam Selman. Ensuring that she’s the only star that shines the brightest, the dress was laden with a whopping 216,000 Swarovski crystals.
The stunning sparkly dress was enough to lure all eyes on her as she shimmied in nothing else other than a pastel pink fur wrap and an equally dazzling headscarf. No doubt, Rihanna has shown her worth as a fashion icon and basked in the limelight through the beat of her own drum.
Other attendees who charmed photographers on the runway include Blake Lively in a 60s style dress by Michael Kors, Lupita Nyong’o in a matching cropped trousers and top by Suno and model Coco Rocha in Christian Siriano, among others.
However, the CFDA Awards not only honours fashion icons (past honourees being Lady Gaga and Kate Moss) but also celebrates the industry’s top designers. This year, Joseph Altuzarra bagged the top award as Womenswear Designer of the Year while the Olsens took Accessories Designer of the Year. Maxwell Osbourne and Dao-Yi Chow of Public School took home Menswear Designer of the Year, beating Thom Browne and Rag & Bone’s designers.

Fur should not be a part of fashion, ever. Period. Animals are being tortured in the most vile ways just to make a shiny piece for some insensitive person. As long as she wears fur, she’s rotten.
