Met Gala 2011: Rihanna Sexy In Stella McCartney

Who: Rihanna

Where: At the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City

Wearing: A black lace one-sleeve *sorry you can’t see from this shot – trust me though* designed by Stella McCartney, paired with Christian Louboutin heels and emerald earrings

Verdict: I love this dress, but is it very Rihanna is what I have been asking myself. Don’t get me wrong she looks absolutely stunning, and she does give this gown a sex appeal that I don’t think everyone would do, but come on for me it is all about her amazing long braid – LOVE it!! Also the scalloped hem is divine.

If this dress isn’t very Rihanna, I have been thinking that it would have looked amazing on a non-pregnant Kate Hudson or Cameron Diaz maybe.

  • Another day, another blossom tree - there is no such thing as too much blossom, it is seriously pretty. ... I've been so overwhelmed lately with work, so many deadlines that I'm making an effort to make sure I get out every day and just live, enjoy the beauty of the moment and today's mini adventure was wandering around this beautiful farm taking pictures of blossom. Not going to lie was a great Tuesday! ... 📸 @sylviassparkles
  • Perfectly, imperfect! ... I've been thinking about this need to be perfect, to have the most Instagramable picture, background, outfit, home and life, and how exhausting it is trying to keep up with social media expectations. ... Over the last month or so I've been having more fun with my outfits, shooting more on the go, worrying less about whether it is an outfit that people will like, and how many followers I'm loosing, and I can't tell you how much happier I've felt with my content. ... We can all get sucked into this Instagram vacuum and the idea of everything being perfect but isn't there something more unique and human about being a little imperfect?
  • I know, Little Bo Peep wants her basket back - but she's out of luck it's mine now! ... I just couldn't resist getting in on the trend - I think this might be my fourth basket bag and I'm not even sorry. ... Also, who's been loving this mini summer we've been having? It has been so lovely hanging out in the garden, heading to the beach and having picnics one of my favourite things to do in the summer. What have you been up to?
  • Been having a tea and gin party in the garden enjoying the sunshine today and it was such a lovely end to a very busy week. ... This has been one of the funnest shoots in a while and I can't wait to reveal my garden party set up - I've got some new cushions, the prettiest crockery and I'm so happy with how my DIY pallet table came out. ... Did you get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine?
  • Think I might need this cute @asos skirt in every colour - loved the yellow one and couldn't resist the blue one, question is do I need to add the khaki one? ... There's something about the button detailing and the pockets, plus the great price only £20 and it is so comfortable even in this gorgeous heat. ... I might as well warn you all now this might become a repeat offender on my feed I love it. Also, anyone else obsessed with buttons lately? I can't get enough. ... Wanna shop this skirt in all three colours? Follow me on the @liketoknow.it app and screenshot this pic. http://liketk.it/2vrfv #liketkit #asseenonme
  • First up can we please give some love to my mum for this fab picture - isn't it great how do I fire the Insta-husband? ... Also, hands up who's had a lovely sunny day? Mum and I have had a fab one filled with culture two exhibitions including the new Monet one at The National Gallery that I would definitely recommend and yummy food I treated her to the fabulousness of By Chloe and she loved it - I'm an addict for their guac burger. ... Then after all that fun we enjoyed the evening sunshine with Falcon on his favourite walk - now off for more food - I can't remember when I've had a better hump day!
  • Spent the day running between press days, check out my stories for a sneak peek at what Boden has coming up for AW18, doing boring errands, trying to transcribe a really difficult interview the designer has a strong accent, and a crazy stack of admin that I sadly can no longer ignore. But hey at least we had sunshine! ... So kisses with this cutie when I came home was much needed. ... Hope you guys had a great day in the sun.
  • Anyone checked the weather like ten times in disbelieve that we actually have sunshine and its only going to get better - like 26 on Thursday in April is amazing and I'm so ready for a little warmth after that never-ending winter. ... Also, sunshine means I get to wear all my favourite sunglasses - I love how fun these Swatch beauties are. ... How are you enjoying this gorgeous weather?
