Raf, Rei, and Rihanna Agree: Art School Prints Are Back for Fall

Perhaps it’s because we spend all day with our faces glued to phones and computer screens that things with a hand-done feel are particularly appealing. (You know it’s true when those fingertip doodles scrawled on Snapchat images feel like a special message from a friend.) Designers, it seems, are taking note, crafting scribbled prints and patterns that evoke an art class vibe. The trend takes many forms, from the tattoo-inspired graphics done by artist Joseph Ari Aloi for Rei Kawakubo’s Comme des Garçons Fall 2015 menswear show to the Stine Goya–designed dress Pernille Teisbaek wore at Copenhagen Fashion Week. 

And if you needed more proof that the trend has legs, look no further than Rihanna’s gams, which she hid beneath Raf Simons’s doodle-covered Fall lab coat. Rih and forward-thinking fashion: Two things that are just drawn together.

Chris Brown-Nia Guzman Feud Update: Rihanna Thinks Royalty’s Mother Is Wrong About ‘Loyal’ Singer’s Tattoos

Rihanna is taking Chris Brown’s side as he continues feuding with Nia Guzman -- the latest issue being the two tattoos on the back of his head.
Royalty’s mother, Guzman, does not approve of the 'Loyal' singer's latest tattoos, but Rihanna likes them. The “Unfaithful” singer feels that Guzman is wrong that Brown's tattoos will scare his one-year-old daughter.
“Royalty seems like a very smart and courageous little baby. She knows her daddy and knows daddy loves her,” a source close to Rihanna told Hollywood Life. “That’s ignorant for someone to think Royalty will be scared by Chris’ tattoos.”
Rihanna reportedly feels that the toddler will be inspired by Brown's body art.
“If anything, they will inspire her. She may even become an artist herself,” the source reportedly said. “Baby’s aren’t scared of much like we adults are. Instead, they’re very inquisitive.”
Rihanna, who recently sparked romance rumors with Brown, reportedly likes the tattoos.
“[Rihanna thinks] he’s brave for getting tats on his head,” another source told Hollywood Life. “That’s not the most pleasant spot on the body to get inked. Rihanna loves it though. She thinks it’s sexy and edgy. Just like Rihanna, Chris is an artist. This is what they do. This is simply a form of expression and Chris is one of the best at it.”
On Thursday, Brown posted a photo of the tattoos on his Instagram account, captioning it: “I do what the f*** I want! #rockstar #500 #onehellofanight #legendarynights @iamkingrico.”
“Nia thinks Chris is running out of body parts to put more tattoos on. The only place really left is his face. Even though she hates seeing his face, she doesn’t want him tatting it up. She doesn’t want Royalty to be scared around him and think he’s some kind of monster,” Hollywood Life cited a source as saying, in another report. “That’s Chris for you, always overdoing everything,” the insider continues. “What he needs to realize is that he’s overdue in child support. She wishes he would cough up more money than the pennies he’s giving her so she can raise Royalty appropriately.”
Brown and Guzman have been feuding since the former filed legal papers for Royalty’s custody. Tensions between them escalated after Guzman did not allow Brown to FaceTime with his daughter.
Despite, Guzman’s several efforts to keep the toddler away from Brown, the two united last week during the singer’s tour.

Rihanna Tries To Be Close To Chris Brown's Baby; Aims To Be Royalty's Stepmom? Kanye West Not Amused

The rapper has gone through a lot in the process of being a dad to baby Royalty.
According to sources, Rihanna is beginning to adore Chris Brown's baby.
"He texted her several pictures of himself playing with Royalty and her heart skipped a beat," an insider reportedly told Hollywood Life.
"She was floored by how happy and caring he was in those photographs. She replied back 'you two are everything. I want to come tuck both of you in for the night.'"
According to the source, Rihanna is allegedly thinking of joining Chris Brown in his tour just to be with baby Royalty.
"She wants to go on his tour so badly and just might if her schedule allows," our insider adds.
Chris Brown and Rihanna are expected to be collaborating in the rapper's upcoming album, named after Royalty.
"She feels in her heart that Chris is going to pump his soul into the album so it can live up to his daughter's name and she wants to be part of that. She'd be hurt if she wasn't,"
Despite their turbulent past, Chris Brown and Rihanna have managed to rekindle their friendship. And according to Mirror, Rihanna's fondness of baby Royalty has been bringing her closer to Chris Brown, sparking speculations that the two may be back together in no time.
But one of RiRi's friends is purportedly not happy about the possibility - Kanye West.
"He knows how vulnerable she can be, especially toward Chris, and he told her she'd be a 'fool' if she got back with him," an insider told Hollywood Life, as published in a separate report.

Chris Brown and Rihanna News: Singers Getting Back Together? Kanye West Against Their Reconciliation

With their closeness again, everyone thinks that Chris Brown and Rihanna are about to rekindle their romance. Both singers have been seen getting in touch with each other again and have been supporting each other in their music. However, Kanye West is reportedly not happy about it.

In fact, the music mogul, 38, apparently advised Rihanna, 27, to think carefully because getting back together with Brown, 26, is reportedly not a good thing for her. Just like a big brother, Kanye wants only the best for RiRi, who deserves all the beautiful things in her successful career. Kanye even wants her to find somebody who will love her just like he loves his wife, Kim Kardashian.
"Kanye would never tell anyone not to follow their heart unless he really felt a compelling reason to do so. And that was the case with Rihanna," an insider told Hollywood Life. "He knows how vulnerable she can be, especially toward Chris, and he told her she'd be a 'fool' if she got back with him," the source adds.
Apparently Kanye had a heart-to-heart talk with the "Bitch Better Have My Money" singer at the FYF Fest and told her that he's not criticizing the "Loyal" singer, but he's reminding her not to go back to the past. He told her that life is about moving forward and she should learn from her mistakes in the past.
It seems that Kanye is worried that the "Diamonds" songstress will fall in love again with the 26-year-old father of one. It is said that Kanye's finding it hard to convince the 27-year-old crooner as she's falling deeply in love again with Brown. She's reportedly totally blind at the moment and she's only listening to her heart.
Kim's husband would reportedly find it hard to convince RiRi as Rihanna and Brown still totally care for each other. According to Fashion & Style, the two still get jealous when each of them is rumored with other people. Brown reportedly felt bad about Rihanna dating Lewis Hamilton. Rihanna, on the other hand, felt bad and insulted when Rita Ora did a racy video with Brown.
One thing that keeps them together is Brown's daughter, Royalty, according to International Business Times. The site says that the 27-year-old singer is easily swayed by Brown's sweetness to his daughter. She wanted to meet Royalty and it seems that she will agree to collaborate with Brown on a tour if his daughter will be there.

Rihanna & Chris Brown Getting Back Together? Kanye West Advising Her Not To Do It

Are Rihanna and Chris Brown rekindling their past relationship? If they are, Kanye West is NOT happy about it. An insider EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife.com that the rapper is against Rihanna getting back together with her ex and why she should avoid going back to Chris.

Kanye West, 38, is just looking out for Rihanna, 27! The singer is slowly reviving her past relationship with ex Chris Brown, 26, and Kanye doesn’t think that’s a great idea. In fact, a source EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife.com that the rapper is telling Rihanna she’d be a ‘fool’ if she let him back into her life.
“Kanye would never tell anyone not to follow their heart unless he really felt a compelling reason to do so. And that was the case with Rihanna,” the insider EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife.com. With Rihanna and Chris are back on friendly terms, Kanye is worried the 27-year-old singer will fall back into her old habits and get back with her ex. “He knows how vulnerable she can be, especially toward Chris, and he told her she’d be a ‘fool’ if she got back with him,” the source said. Those are some harsh words, but someone has to say it.

The source continued to reveal to us that Kanye had a brief talk with Rihanna when they were both at FYF Fest on Aug. 22. He told the 27-year-old that she deserves a man who will love her like he loves Kim Kardashian, 34. According to the rapper, Chris is just not that man. “He wasn’t bashing Chris – he was just trying to convince Rihanna not to go backwards. He told her life’s always moving forward and to learn from the past but no go back there,” the source said. Unfortunately, Rihanna may be in too deep to break away from Chris.

Rihanna 'really falling for Lewis'

Rihanna is reportedly playing it cool with Lewis Hamilton, but is starting to like him a lot.
The 27-year-old singer is rumoured to be getting close to the Formula One ace, with the pair even attending the annual carnival in her native Barbados together recently.
Although things aren't thought to be serious at the moment, apparently Rihanna likes Lewis more than she thought she would.
"Ri and Lewis have known each other casually for years, but they've never both been single at the same time," an insider told British magazine Heat. "She's playing it cool, but I think he's winning her over. Lewis is being really good with her brother Rajad and that's the kind of thing Rihanna really likes."
One of Rihanna's friends questioned the budding romance to the publication though, insisting it won't last, as the pair don't have a lot in common.
It seems not everyone agrees with that assertion. Sharon Bellamy Thompson looked after Rihanna when she was little, babysitting for her and taking her to and from school. She sees herself as something of a second mother to the star, and insists Lewis is a great choice for the star.
"They would have beautiful babies. As long as this man makes her happy, he's got my approval. You've got to love his British charm," she said.
"When the time's right Robyn will make a great mum - she loves kids."
That said, Sharon still harbours hope that Rihanna will rekindle her relationship with one of her exes - Chris Brown. That will come as something of a surprise, as their romance broke down in 2010 after Chris assaulted Rihanna, with the pair engaging in an on/off relationship for a few years afterwards but never managing to get things back on track.
"Chris was the first boyfriend she brought home and I'll always have a soft spot for him. Nobody can replace first love," she said.

From inspiring designers like Tom Ford and Manolo Blahnik to becoming the first black woman to be the face of Dior, Rihanna is the one that always makes heads turn on the red carpet — and keeps us wondering what she’ll show up in next

Having been in the industry since she was just a teenager, RiRi has grown to love fashion, and it shows her stylistic evolution.

Whether it’s combining streetwear with a feminine touch or rocking the sheerest of fabrics on the red carpet, Rihanna isn’t afraid to go the extra mile for the sake of fashion. In fact, her style sense has gained so much attention that she was honored with the CFDA Fashion Icon Award in 2014.

Rihanna and Nicki Minaj both turned down Major Lazer's hit 'Lean On'

Major Lazer's hit 'Lean On' could have sounded very different, as Diplo's revealed both Rihanna and Nicki Minaj turned it down.

Apparently the track was originally written as a slow reggae song, but Diplo has called the double rejection "a blessing in disguise".

"[MØ] sounds better than anybody was going to sound on that record," Diplo told Time.

"All we want to do is make the records feel like classics, even though they're feeling progressive and strange to a normal ear."

Karrueche Tran Shades Rihanna, Chris Brown Heartbreak Tease: 'Waiting On Bae' Instagram Promo

Apparently Karrueche Tran feels hurt that Chris Brown now hopes to win Rihanna back again, although she truly wants nothing more to do with the "Loyal" crooner. But the 27-year-old aspiring model is still waiting on her one true love...
Could Tran's ex-lover ever really satisfy her sexual needs and desires? Maybe that's why she's not dying to fall back into his arms...
As MstarsNews previously reported, Tran feels somewhat betrayed considering Brown's shady actions:
"She knows they are in contact and it breaks her heart," an alleged insider tells the popular gossip webloid HollywoodLife.com. "She's focused on her career but she can't help but think about Chris. And thinking about him with Rihanna really upsets her... Kae always felt Chris was secretly talking and seeing Rihanna when they were together," the snitch continues. "Hearing that they are getting close again just confirms that in her head... Chris has been telling her how sad he was about the Royalty situation and how lonely he was. All the more reason it's better for Kae to move on with her life and leave Chris in the past."

Chris Brown-Rihanna Update: 'Loyal' Singer Still 'Loves Her To Death,' Hopes For Reconciliation

Chris Brown is missing his former girlfriend, Rihanna, and hoping for reconciliation as the two are coming on good terms with each other after their tumultuous relationship ended in 2013, Hollywood Life reported, citing sources. The “Loyal” singer has realized that he still “loves her to death,” the report added.
“He misses her. He always has. She’s a good woman and he loves her to death. He thinks she’s drop dead beautiful with a soul that only an angel could have,” a source told Hollywood Life. “He’d give anything just to have a meal with her. Not sex. Just a meal. Just to talk. Just to look at her and witness her beauty all over again.”
Recently, the former couple had FaceTime sessions to reconnect, the blog Media Take Out wrote in an exclusive report Monday. “[Rihanna] is taking it slowly. She still loves Chris and wants to make sure that this time they do it right,” a source told MTO.
Aspiring singer Assata also said she was in the studio Friday with Brown and rappers Fetty Wap and French Montana when the 27-year-old singer connected with Rihanna on FaceTime. They were supposedly talking like they were “boyfriend and girlfriend,” Assata added.
Brown is not forcing Rihanna to meet him and is reportedly enjoying the kind of relationship the two currently share. “It’s the simple things he’s after these days,” the source told Hollywood Life. “He doesn’t know if it will happen but in the meantime, a man can dream, can’t he?”
Although it remains unclear whether Brown and Rihanna will get back together, the former wants them to reunite on stage.
“He’s been begging Rihanna to come and be a surprise performer on his tour,” another source told Hollywood Life. “He’d love to get up there on stage with her like they used to and get down on one of their past collaborations. You’re talking one hell of a night!”
Since Brown’s relationship with Karrueche Tran ended after the latter discovered in March that he had a child with model Nia Guzman, rumors circulated that the "Loyal" singer and Rihanna might be thinking of getting back together. According to reports, Rihanna also has been Brown’s confidant during the latter's fight with Guzman for the custody of their daughter Royalty.
Brown was also reportedly jealous after reports surfaced that Rihanna was dating Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton. Recently, the Barbadian singer was also linked to Real Madrid soccer player Karim Benzema.

Rihanna denies dating Matt Barnes after he claims they're more than friends

In the video, Barnes said they were "just past the crush stage,” but unfortunately Rihanna is not on the same page.
When asked if there’s a future with the “Bitch Better Have My Money” singer, Barnes answered, “Possibly.” He also said they're "friends right now" but "we'll see where it goes."
She posted a screenshot of the interview on Instagram and told her fans that not only are they not dating, she’s never even met him.
Rihanna denied the relationship with a series of hashtags, including, “#bishwhere #thedevilisaliar#shesnotthatintoyou#shesnotintoyouatall#shesneverevenmetyou#thisactuallyhurtmyfeelings#defamationofcharacter.”
Barnes replied, "Hahaaa wow."
Rihanna has recently been linked to Leonardo DiCaprio, and most recently soccer star Karim Benzema and Lewis Hamilton.

Matt Barnes Allows Rihanna Dating Rumors to Continue and Gets Violated by Her on Instagram

Matt Barnes got himself lit up by Rihanna today because he didn't put the lid on a rumor that the two were dating. In a TMZ video, Barnes coyly said that he and Rihanna were, "just past the crush stage." Plus, his ex Gloria Govan entertained the thought by saying she was cool with the two dating as long as she gets free tickets ("Bitch better have my tickets").
The problem here is that Rihanna isn't cool with the thought. She posted an unflattering picture of Barnes and slandered him with a variety of hashtags: "#shesneverevenmetyou #thisactuallyhurtmyfeelings #defamationofcharacter" So not only is that a no, but Rihanna is apparently claiming she's never met Barnes (and no, Twitter shoutouts don't count).​

She hasn't shut down the rumors about F1 driver Lewis Hamilton. The two have been spotted multiple times together, including the Barbados street festival.

Dazzle in a denim skirt this summer like Rihanna

Only Rihanna could wear a simple vest and skirt and look like she's just stepped off a runway.
The Bajan beauty was spotted turning the New York street into her very own catwalk in this dazzling white ensemble comprising of Tom Ford padlock sandals, a super cute Dior bag and this killer denim skirt.
We've seen denim skirts flood the runways this season, with everyone from Stella McCartney to Alex Chung for AG championing the trend - but the white denm skirt is the lesser known, fresher twist on the classic. Always ahead of the fashion curve, that Rihanna!
Her skirt is by Mother, which we instantly recognized due to the tell-tale frayed hem that the brand is known for. Plus, it's loved by everyone from Reese Witherspoon to Kendall Jenner and Dakota Johnson, so you're in good company!
And while this exact skirt is now sold out, you can click (right) to buy a very similar version now, or head to our edit below for our top lookalikes. We'll be styling ours with a denim shirt, colour pop strappy heels and tousled locks for a sexy evening vibe.

Rihanna Lands 'Voice' Season 9 Job - Joins Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani & Adam Levine

ADVERTISEMENT

Just when you thought that the brand new season of The Voice couldn't get anymore star-studded, the NBC series has decided to shine even brighter with star power this year. They have just secured Mrs. Diamond herself, Rihanna, to join the series for a pretty major role. While each of the judges have their own mentors for season 9, the "B*tch Better Have My Money" star is serving in the same role that Taylor Swift did last year on the series. Rihanna will be helping out Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams and newly divorced Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, as the coaches key advisor. According to E! News, the "American Oxygen" starlet will be boarding the show as the newest adviser to all the contestants. "We landed Rihanna to be key adviser to all the coaches this fall," Robert Greenblatt, NBC Entertainment Chairman explained during the TCA panel that took place in Beverly Hills. "This is on of music's true supervisors coming on board to influence the lives and careers of the performers.

According to Variety, other stars that have held the position in the past have included Chris Martin, Nate Ruess and Taylor Swift.
As we previously reported, other mentors for the judges include Selena Gomez for Team Gwen, Brad Paisley on Team Blake, Missy Elliot for Pharrell Williams and Jon Fogerty on Team Adam.
However, Rihanna will be stopping by to help out all the teams, and this endeavor couldn't come at a better time for her as she is expected to release some new music this fall, which diehard fans like us have been waiting not so patiently for.

Be sure to catch Rihanna and all the other celebrity judges on the all-new season of The Voice when it premieres September 21 on NBC.
