There seems to be some contention over whether Rihanna’s Costume Institute Gala outfit was a near hit, or a very far miss. Her Dolce & Gabbana get-up took the accentuated shoulders trend to a new level; and while the elements of the ongoing tuxedo trend worked well for Rihanna, the overall look was a little overboard for our liking, especially when paired with her somewhat masculine hair style.
