Rihanna wore Prada at Paris ‘Valerian’ premiere: feathered showgirl costume?

Paris premiere of 'Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets'

Here are some photos from the Paris premiere of Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets last night. All of the people who attended the London premiere two nights ago attended this one, including Rihanna, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen and Dane DeHaan. Rihanna has been getting most of the attention at these premieres, even though her role is just supporting (Cara and Dane are the leads). I think Rih is fine with that – she seems to want the attention, which is why she’s been wearing a parade of WTF-gowns.

Rihanna wore Prada in Paris, having worn Giambattista Valli at the London and LA premieres. I’m grateful that this isn’t a maternity-esque ball gown-sack. I’m also grateful that this isn’t some kind of ballerina look. But is this Prada actually good? No. Not really. If it was on anyone else, it would look like a cheap showgirl costume. Because it’s on Rihanna, I’m obligated to give it one “yaas queen” even with all of those feathers. Also: I like that Rihanna has no f–ks to give about putting on a little weight. Rihanna is not overweight or anything, but she’s gotten a bit thicker this year and she’s owning that sh-t. I love it.

As for Cara, she wore this Alexandre Vauthier Couture dress which I mistook for Burberry initially. It’s pretty. I would have liked to see Rihanna and Cara switch dresses, actually.

    I need those sunglasses

      I really like them too, much better than the steampunk meets hipster frames we’ve been seeing, but I don’t know if I could pull them off.

        Think I will take them from both of you, Love them. It’s kind of cute how on all of her threads, people aren’t blown away by her outfits, but somehow she always manages to pull it off. RiRi is one of a kind. Lots of love for Cara, but she’s just an accessory for Rihanna. I hope she isn’t pregnant, because she is gaining weight and getting love for it, which is so not the case in the world. If someone gains an ounce, they’re fat. She is glorious…….political without even trying, let’s all gain weight like Rihanna. Of course, her weight goes to all the right places, mine would in all likelihood go below the waist!

        I actually just ordered a classic grey pair of Oakleys online. I’ve been wearing the same brand and color for years, but it’s hard to find them at stores. Love them and they r great on your eyes. Not a commercial, just a biased opinion, will wear RiRi’s on the weekend.

    Cara’s look is so much better, I love the dress. Rihanna’s looks like low-rent Marchesa, and she actually looks pissed to be wearing it.

      +1

      I hate what the top does to Rih’s boobs…gosh! It looks so frumpy and loose i thought she went in her pijamas. It has no structure at all. Women’s bodies need clothes with structure to make the most of our attributes, otherwise it makes the body look…flabby…the outfit is so bad it makes her look flab. Burn it girl!

    Riri is not preggo, she just enjoyed life as she should.

  4. Maple Girl says:

    This is hideous and it does look like a cheap showgirl costume. No yas queens deserve to be given.

  5. AVA z says:

    Is it just me , or didn’t Rihanna get a breast enhancement? I have noticed it in the last few posts on her Instagram.

    • detritus says:

      If she’s anything like me, the first thing to get bigger and the first thing to go with weight fluctuations are the tits. The tummy stays longer and comes back quicker, but I do’nt think Rihs a tummy gainer like me.

      • Nyawira says:

        I think she is of the sane body type as Tyra Banks. Their weight goes to the torso area. Her waist is thicker but change to thighs and butt isn’t that quickly discernible. Now I feel gross for even saying it since this is your standard “I’m clocking 30 and metabolism is catching up” weight gain.

    • LadyT says:

      Those are absolutely natural breasts IMO. Everything about the cleavage and underarm area is saying natural. A little bigger? Sure, as with most women’s weight gain.

  6. Deana says:

    Cara looks divine. I wonder if Lisa Eldridge is doing her makeup.

  7. detritus says:

    No good. I love you baby, and your glasses are great, makeup is on point yet again, attitude is on as always, but the feathers….
    barely whispers *yasss queeeen?

    Agree with Kaiser, dresses should be switched. Although Cara has been bringing it, i’ve liked what shes wearing better on the times her and Rih are together.

  8. Peeking in says:

    Rihanna doesn’t need to wear “WTF gowns” to get attention, though. She’s the biggest star of those 4, and would get most of the attention regardless.

    • Nyawira says:

      True but comeon. We all know Rihanna lives for this stuff. When she isn’t dressing for a red carpet, she is busy turning the path from her limo to the restaurant into a catwalk. And given that she now has the dubious honor of having appeared in and promoted two of this decades biggest movie flops and her recent successful singles have been collaborations with other artists, it wouldnt hurt to remind fashion fans that she still runs that side of things atleast.

  9. MissAmanda says:

    i really hate that i like Delevingne’s looks for these premiers. They’re futuristic and beautiful and her hair and makeup have been perfect for all of it.

    IDK why, but there are just some celebrities I have this feeling of ‘ugh! Get away from my eyes!’ for (Delevingne, Emily Blunt, Oliva Munn, Oliva Wilde, Aubrey Plaza)…yet they always seem to get me to look at the with their clothing, hair, etc.

    • Maple Girl says:

      Her gowns and hair are wonderful, but the makeup has been too harsh most of the time.

    Clive is not looking so great these days

  11. bella says:

    Cara is really the queen ands not Rihanna. She has looked/dressed sexy and gorgeous for this movie!

  12. Achoo! says:

    I don’t think a real show girl would be caught dead in that outfit.
