In Defense of Rihanna's VMA outfit

I love Rihanna. I love her fashion sense. I even loved the loony ensemble she wore for her “Disturbia” performance at last night’s VMAs and I don’t really understand all the criticism she’s getting for it. It’s not like she wore this outfit to accept the Nobel Prize; she wore it during a performance at an awards show where spectacle is everything. And it was a themed performance. She was supposed to be scary! The song ain’t called “Adorablia.” She looked like a sweet girl who, clearly from the tattered ballerina-esque train in the back, was attacked by the people of Disturbia. Or was she their queen? Oh well. It’s okay, Rihanna. I understood what you were trying to go for. And that’s really all that matters.

At least you didn’t decide to show up channeling Linda Hogan as Christina Aguilera seemingly did.
