Rihanna goes topless for her new perfume ad: sorta sexy or just trashy?

Rihanna

Rihanna just can’t help herself when it comes to posting risque photos of herself on the internet. Seriously, the girl and her #thuglife are all over Twitter again, and this time she has posted some pseudo-topless photos (no nips or anything), which are actually behind-the-scenes, semi-candid photos of herself on the social networking site. She was super excited and tweeted, “I got a big shoot tomorrow for a surprise fragrance for my ladies called…NUDE!” Of course, going topless is the precise opposite sentiment of what Rihanna said not too long ago in an MTV interview about never wanting to take off her clothes for the camera:

Rihanna, one of the raunchiest, controversial and wildest ladies in the music industry, has said something that shocked us even more than when she collaborated with her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown! The 24-year-old spoke to Mondanite Magazine and began discussing photo shoots…

Although the singer has posed virtually naked previously and has been seen in some very revealing outfits of recent, when asked if she would ever strip off for a magazine shoot, she said: “My mother would kill me if I posed nude! My mother raised me with certain standards.”

The Bajan star also explained her love for revealing outfits: “The more I got naked, the more comfortable I felt. I just have to face my fear. You always find something wrong; you always find something you’re uncomfortable with. One thing turns into another and you get embarrassed and self-conscious about it – you feel like everybody can see what you see.”

[From MTV]

Okay, so most of us probably didn’t believe Rihanna when she said this stuff because she’s basically always close to naked in her videos and even on the street. This photo montage from her Twitter is basically soft pr0n style.

Here’s Rihanna making pancakes with her pistol-shaped cookie cutter with the following caption: “My new #thuglife cooking gadget.”

    She seems to be an insecure teenage girl stuck in a 24 year-old’s body. It’s a bit pathetic.

    • Bluebear says:

      I’m inclined to agree with you, though I thought she looked like a craigslist hooker ad.

  2. Maguita says:

    Where the f*ck is her mother now? And she does look like a 70s p0rn star, but there’s nothing soft about this one.

    “Leave the Boy Alone”? How about YOU quit the man who beat the crap out of you within an inch of your life. No more pity for this girl.

    • Liv says:

      Seriously, she looks like a prostitute! Does she not have people around her, who tell her that? She will destroy herself.

  3. RocketMerry says:

    She is just…so, so trashy. I don’t get it. She could be gorgeous and classy and amazing. What a waste.

    • Elizabeth says:

      It ain’t none of my business (I’m white and have short grey-ish hair) but why would a beautiful woman of color with beautiful hair want to wear a long fake blond wig? Her and Beyonce – I just don’t get it. I’m in my fifties – maybe its a young girl thing and I’m just not there anymore.

      • deehunny says:

        I’m a hispanic 27 yr old woman and I always think the same thing. I’m not a huge fan of the shocking colors, but really what bothers me most is the fact that the wigs look so fake and cheap.

    • Candyland says:

      Looked like a doll before the CB bust up. Ever since she’s been skanky. Beautiful chick goes skanky. Maybe its who she is.

      • Karen says:

        That might just be a public personae to make her look like she’s all tough and thuggish. I wish she’d stop.

      • Veruca says:

        @Karen —

        I used to think that, but the look in her eyes, the constant need for attention, the blatant self-destruction…

        the girl needs a real friend and some time to get her life back together. It’s so very sad.

  4. dahlianoir says:

    Whatever, desperate attemps to stay “in”.

  5. NYCGAL says:

    She looks ridiculous. It must be exhausting to try so hard all the time.

  6. Hakura says:

    I love Rihanna, but these are just seriously unflattering pictures (for the perfume). Her body looks straight ‘up & down’, no curve, the skin has been photoshopped to inhuman perfection.

    But I really *hate* that single-toned-fake blonde monstrosity. The color looks horrendous against her skin tone. She could rock chunks/highlights, but these types of blondes are awful on her.

    This photo-shoot doesn’t do her natural beauty justice, it really takes away from it. Com’on RiRi, back to the legion of stylists & makeup artists you can so easily afford but don’t appear to be using.

  7. lisa says:

    I don’t get why so many women that have perfume ads have to do them nude. They leave nothing for the imagination. And who is there target audience. WOMEN. I don’t buy perfume because the woman is nude.

    Don’t get it.

    Rihanna worries me. She seem so desperate for something. or this is who she has always been.

    and what’s up with the gun cutter for the pancake in the pan???

    • Samigirl says:

      You took the words right outta my mouth. If you want to target a perfume to me, don’t put a naked lady out there. I’ll stick to my dolce, thank you very much.

    • Hakura says:

      I guess, to be fair, at least this perfume is actually *called* “Nude“, which gives it a reason for nudity. But I totally agree about pointless nudity on other perfume ads.

      Naked women doesn’t draw me in (personally), so they should use that for their men’s cologne.

    • Candyland says:

      Is a good point. Ain’t perfume supposed to be classy? She looks like a broken down hooker in the ads.

  8. Eve says:

    Her usual (a.k.a. “always trashy”).

  9. cupidityrox says:

    #sooverrihanna

  10. I.want.shoes says:

    This girl watches way to much porn. Those are not facial expressions that regular people would use, even when trying to convey an image of sexiness.

    • Candyland says:

      Does look like porn ad. Gross photos, not gonna make me wanna buy that crap and put it on.

  11. Arorryweire says:

    Who and where to order this summer on fair, portion your information.

  12. Ramaona says:

    Pure trash.

  13. TK says:

    I cant stand this girl. She is TRASH.

  14. Cherry says:

    I’m gonna throw in a positive comment: NAKED (in capitals, OF COURSE, like she’s SCREAMING IT, AS IN: HAS EVERYBODY SEEN THAT I AM, IN FACT, NAAAKEEED!!!!) is a really well-chosen name for a Rihanna perfume.

  15. Anait says:

    These photos will never persuade me to buy or even smell that perfume… take a shower, throw away that blonde thing you have on your head and try to be classy girl!

  16. Fritzi Schnitzer says:

    Her mother would kill her? Wasn’t she a hooker in Barbados? That busted budget straw wig is two inches off her scalp.

  17. serena says:

    Just trashy.

  18. Meecey says:

    Agree trash. Wtf is that blonde thing?

  19. some bitch says:

    Ew.

    I only know one bigtime Rihanna fan and she always came across as 13 year old in a 27 year olds body. Now I know where she gets the inspiration from!

  20. lucy2 says:

    The answer to that question is always TRASHY.
    “My mother raised me with certain standards.” Bwahaha! Thanks for the laugh, Rihanna. So her mother would object to her “posing nude” (which she practically does daily anyway) but doesn’t take issue with the gun stuff, publishing pot smoking photos, and oh yeah, defending and still messing around with a guy who beat the snot out of her. Lovely.

    • Esmom says:

      I know. Not just trashy but clueless, too.

      She needs to step out of the spotlight and get herself together.

  21. skuddles says:

    Awful awful pics! This is beyond trashy… she looks like a crackhead selling $2 bj’s.

  22. Sillyone says:

    Rihanna=trash

  23. Crystal says:

    That blonde hair does her no favours. I think Rihanna looks so beautiful when she has black hair. Even the red hair kind of grew on me in the end. This look needs to go. Seriously. And she needs to stop with those cabbage patch lacefronts with the f*cked up hairlines. Her and Nicki Minaj need to call up Beyonce’s stylist. Say what you want about Beyonce but her wigs rarely look this ratchet.
    I’m kind of sick of this blonde hair trend…Rihanna has had every hairstyle and colour in the book yet I’ve never seen her rock a natural hairstyle. Is it too much to ask to have ONE Black woman in the spotlight who rocks natural hair ??? Rihanna inspired a bunch of women to go out and get that asymmetrical bob, maybe she can inspire women to got out and rock an afro or twist outs or micro-braids. Something other than these ratchet wigs/weaves !!!
    (Looking at you too Sasha Fierce)

    • Hakura says:

      Word. All types of hair are beautiful & should be celebrated. RiRi isn’t putting forth that message here, that’s for sure.

    • Elizabeth says:

      Amen to the natural hair. I would love to see it on her.

    • shaishai says:

      I have to say thats one thing I always loved about Brandy. She rocked those braids beautifully the whole time she was really popular. She did do a straight weave for a while, but I saw a very recent picture of her and she’s now rockin a lovely ‘fro and looks gorgeous!

  24. Jenna says:

    Her usual trashy as always. I want the old RiRi back.

  25. Candyland says:

    Lemme just put it out there since nobody did:

    Chris Brown is a POS POS POS.

  26. Jordan says:

    These pics are trashy. She hasn’t been right since the incident. She seems very immature and insecure. But there’s something about her, maybe a star quality, that keeps people interested. I hope she makes it through this bad point in her personnel life.

  27. bns says:

    I like her (her music is fun and catchy) and I’m all for women embracing their sexuality, but she needs to come up with a new shtick. This one is getting tired.

  28. bagladey says:

    Cheap, tacky and trashy. Everything is awful about those pix: Her appearance, her performance and the photography; just a total fail. Horrible.

  29. crtb says:

    AWFUL!!

  30. tinyour says:

    Yuck

  31. Rachel says:

    What stands out to me most is her improper use of that pancake mold. Am I the only one who was bothered by that? Girl clearly never makes her own pancakes (except for cutesy Twitter photoshoots)!

    • Fatkid says:

      Not the only one. That photo really bugs me. I want to just take pan away and show her how to make a pancake…cause no one is eating that mess she’s pretending to cook.

  32. lol says:

    She “cooks” in her PJs wearing jewels, make up and trashy fake nails?
    This ho LOL. Keepin’ it real.

  33. yoyo says:

    sooooooooo trashy. WTH is wrong with this girl?! She seems desperate to become a porn actress but she would have to go to some cheap production house cause that wig with the roots showing is beyond barftastic. She thinks this is sexy, which is very, very sad. Ghetto trash doesn’t BEGIN to describe her (and no nothing against Ghettos and the people living there it’s the charicature aspect I’m referencing), I swear it’s to the point where I think little kim has more class than this fool. My reaction every time I see her now is: ew!

  34. judyjudy says:

    She looks cheap and dirty.

    Why would anyone want to smell cheap and dirty?

  35. amoi says:

    don’t care what anyone says. i like rihanna. i’ve cringed at many a things she has done but at the core of who she is, she loves her family immensely, she loves her friends, she actually HAS several women friends and is not just spending her life hanging out with boys as portrayed. there’s not many women in her power position who are not threatened by other women. i think she’s a party animal and that will slow down as she gets older. she’s 23 with more zeros in her bank account than we can count. i think the extreme judging towards her is a bit overdone. she’s trash because she likes weed? come to california and see how many doctors, lawyers, teachers enjoy the same. trash because she doesn’t mind showing off her body? jealous? if not, why do you honestly care?…unfortunately, i’ve known many young women who were in abusive relationships, rihanna is not to be put up as some role model as how to handle the situation. MOST women in abusive situations do have issues and do not handle it the “logical” way, she’s no different. seriously get off her tip.

    • Jordan says:

      I like Rihanna too, but to be fair, she is selling a product (fragrance) and her image does reflect the product. So, asking why people honestly care, well, it’s because she is asking us to.

  36. judyjudy says:

    Wait…is she making gun-shaped pancakes in that cooking photo?

    LOL! Nothing says thuglife like pancakes.

  37. novaraen says:

    This girl is always trashy these days…still acting like a little kid who wants to be grown up and sexy but doesn’t know how.

  38. faye says:

    rofl she looks drunk or high. not sexy at all.

  39. B says:

    Gross

  40. Lisa says:

    Annoying and talentless.

  41. Diana says:

    My good, she has the potential to be truly beautyful but her trashiness allways gets in the way. Why is it that nobody close to her tells her that kind of attitude isn’t attractive. She really needs help with that over-sexualized image.
