Back in July, Armani announced that Megan Fox was no longer their official spokescrotch. Megan’s print and commercial ads for Armani – for Armani underwear, jeans and makeup – had been going from bad to worse, and her latest set of Asian-looking makeup ads seemed like the last straw. So, Armani replaced Megan with Rihanna. I’ve been trying to figure out if Megan is completely fired, or if she’s just representing Armani’s makeup line now. I don’t know – but I do know that Rihanna has Megan’s old underwear and jeans contracts.
So, these are the new ads. The full set of underwear and jeans ads were just released this week, and… they’re not good. Ugh. Let’s do the positive first: Rihanna is nowhere near as tweaked and jacked as Megan Fox. I tend to think Rihanna’s face is all-natural, but I’m sure someone will correct me. I also like that Rihanna’s boobs are real, and that Armani selected a “model” with a healthy, slender figure (instead of Megan’s weird, unhealthy-looking body). Rihanna doesn’t have fake boobs, which I like as well.
Now for the negative: the blond wiglet. The makeup. The poses. Rihanna looks like hell in these ads. And she’s one of those girls who can look incredibly sexy in just candid photos where she’s walking around: why does she look so UNsexy when she’s posed and blonde and made up? Ugh.

Horrible, just horrible. If I saw a girl with hair like that on the subway, I would inch away…

She is a singer who can’t sing; “sexy” is all she’s got.
Especially now that Jay-Z will be busy with a baby.
(Zing! Oh yeah, I went there.)

My first thought was “Wow, they shopped the heck out of Eddie Izzard.” So, there you have it!

I am the same age as Rhianna and as hard as I look I can’t find nothing to tweak but I am preventing early with serums and anti age whatever creams and I think Rhianna is very pretty can’t imagine she has to tweak either.
If Rhianna does look different its lightening they use in these pictures and that wiglet (blah). I hate that wiglet. LOL I hate all the pics except the one where she is looking at the camera and is sitting in the car. Her body looks amazing and she looks just plain hot.

I don’t like her music or her demeanor but girlfriend has a beautiful face.
Speaking of beautiful faces…Miss Angola won the Miss Universe Pageant (held in Brazil this year) — not that I watched it or even (ever) cared about it but when I (while flipping through the channels yesterday) saw her clip I thought that if she didn’t win this year’s pageant that would be really unfair. Today morning I saw on MSN that she won. Absolutely gorgeous woman.

Say something nice – she has an amazing body and natural boobs. Long may they last. The photography itself looks amazing but the stylist on the shoot needs to hand their head in shame. She looks like a hooker and not in a good way – in a busted way.

A ‘healthy, slender figure (instead of Megan’s weird, unhealthy-looking body)’? Sure, Rihanna does have that, but you sure as hell can’t tell on these pics. They photoshopped at least ten pounds off her, especially on the second and third pic from above. Shame.

So terribly trashy. Porn like, I’d say.

At first I thought she was Pink, anyway I like these photos, she looks so much better than with that horrible red Ronald McDonald hair she had before.

Good God. I’m sick and tired of this blond wig drama. It’s not pretty, specially on people with riri’s skin color. We’ve seen it on Bey etc. And my question is: what’s so special with blond wigs?? It’s not flattering! And those pictures are horrible! Ri is a beautiful girl, and i admire the fact that she’s way more natural than most artists, but drop the blond wigs, Gurl!

Mmm…sexy! As long as she’s not singing I love me some Rihanna. That said, whilst she’s looked fabulous with short hair before, I’m not sure the fringe/colour suits her here.

They potoshopped the hell out of her thighs.
@cherry, ITA. She has a thick lower body and they definitely thinned her out.

That first picture brings me back to the “Strangé” perfume from Boomerang. I’m just waiting for her to birth an underwear box. SMH. The entire team behind this campaign should be fired. Ri is way prettier and sexier than these god awful pictures portray. She’s unrecognizable in half of them.

Unfortunate.

The poses are the problem. She is so beautiful she can pull any kind of hairstyle and still look good. As that one, not beautiful but neither ugly.

GAROSSSSS!! Pics are horrible. Do not like this woman. I get really bad vibes from her.

I do not like blonde hair on certain people and she is one of them.
She looks like a prostitute in a car or on a corner working her job.
She has become disgusting – does she even bother singing any more or does she only do the porn photo shoots now?

The poses aren’t good and imho the hair doesn’t suit her.

@velourazure: TOTALLY!
although, you are being too kind.
R is superfug, inside and out, no matter what color hair.

I don’t like the blonde hair.
I don’t care for the photos really either.
I think RiRi is very cute but not sexy. I find that she trys too hard to be sexy and to me it comes across that way. She looks her best when she is just being her fun self.

I love her songs the most when you can hear her Barbados’ accent strong and clear.Don’t ask me which songs those are,because I couldn’t tell you.Rhianna is in the ‘pop/hip-hop’part of the industry.So,pics like this are part of the biz.Anyways,I do think she is a beautiful women.

Unfortunate. She is a pretty girl and she actually looks ugly and cheap in these photos. They look like Hustler photos =( Not classy looking like Armani usually is. Bad photographer & terrible stylist.

Yeah…I think I’m the only person that doesn’t find her “beautiful.” It’s the forehead. Killer bod though.
