New Breakout Star, RITA ORA, Gives Rihanna Run For Her Money...With High-Fashion Taste!

Rita Ora in Hussein Chalayan

I first heard of Rita Ora on the fashion circuit, yesterday, while I was on the internet. First, I thought she was this new video model, but turns out Rita is this new singer that has been signed to Jay-Z's RocNation label. She also is supposed to be linked to Rob Kardashian.

So I checked out Rita's fashion choices, and I've got to say I've got this strong 'RATED R RIHANNA ERA' vibe off Rita. Now, Rita is her own person, but aside from Rihanna's dirty rocker look she's been sporting lately, it's nice to see something fresh.

See more pictures of Rita Ora in recent weeks:

Hmm... you BEST believe I'll be following this girl... RITA ORA, gotta remember that.

Rihanna Is All Covered Up (Which Is Almost a Rarity) and Wearing Elizabeth Taylor Sweatshirt

I want to show some UK love by putting up more pics of Rihanna in the UK (London). She was entirely covered up, which is quite the catch to look at sometimes (since she loves to show skin). She wore an Elizabeth Taylor sweatshirt and a long, flowy dress underneath. She paired it with a chunky necklace and oversized shades.

Rihanna Gone ROCKER to REGAL At 2012 Brit Awards; What A Change-Up!!

First of all, Rihanna's been rockin' her ROCKER CHICK in the U.S. for the longest time and put ot the filthy track 'Birthday Cake,' and now that she gets over to London for the Brit Awards, she's all DOLLED UP and GLAMMED UP? Maaaaann.... at least I get to see these great looks somewhere.

That is one stunning dress, studded in gold with like-patterned stilettos. The long, brown leather gloves are a nice touch, too.

Check out a couple looks that she had recently while in London:

Before the BRIT Awards, wearing this jersey knotted dress with heels and matching sheer socks.

Stepping out of a white Maybach 57, headed to a popular London restaurant. Paparazzi was seriously heavy that night...

More photos to come...

Rihanna Rocks A 'Flintstones' Vibe With 'BONE' Pants

Rihanna was spotted in London earlier last week for preparing to perform at the 2012 Brit Awards. She came outside in her usual ROCKER style she's been sporting lately. It's growing on me; I like this '80s vibe with the 'DINO BONES' pants she wore with an oversized leather varsity jacket and black sneakers. A red snapback cap was a nice touch, too.

Earlier in the week... Rihanna came in with this MILITARY vibe.... she probably attended London Fashion Week. Rihanna's not one to skip fashion.

Rihanna and Chris Brown Spotted Leaving Same Studio Within Minutes Of Each Other; Both Wore CAMO, Too!!

It is reported that Chris Brown and Rihanna recorded a reconcialition song together called 'Birthday Cake,' and were spotted leaving the same studios.

Here's the kicker: they both wore camouflage! Chris wore camo shorts and Adidas x Jeremy Scott sneakers, while Rihanna wore matching camo pants and cap.

TSK-TSK... ugh... OOOOKAY movin' on...

RIHANNA Drops Another Daring Grammy Gown In VERY Low-Cut, Back-Baring Armani

Rihanna never fails to impress and turn heads. Check out this very low-cut, back-baring Armani dress she helped design and wore to the 2012 Grammy Awards show. Yes, Rihanna collabo'ed with Armani to design a 'Scarface'-inspired dress. Three major parts of her dress bared skin: cleavage, back, and leg. Those 3 are exactly the 3 different body parts a man likes to see initially.

I'm liking the whole '80s vibe Rihanna has been rockin' lately with her dirty blonde wavy hair, dark lipstick, and the infamous white 'THUG LIFE' tattoos on her knuckles. I also like at the same time, it's not too messy because Rihanna keeps it clean and simple with very light makeup, nails, and jewelty.

Polarizing looks.

Rihanna and Katy Perry are shown worlds apart in their style. Rihanna has been maintaining that ROCKER look wearing her $740 Chanel biker hat while Katy Perry stays steady with the blue-hair, cotton candy look with her Versus by Versace dress and new Louboutins.

Excerpt from Fashion Bomb Daily: RIHANNA's A New Blonde

Hey readers, check out this post from Fashion Bomb Daily, one of my favorite fashion websites, and see what FBD had to say about Rihanna's new 'do. I think it's pretty cool but don't know what to expect; of course, she's always changin' it up....just when I was getting used to the RED HAIR.

See FBD excerpt below (pic excluded):

Rihanna was spotted out and about in Hollywood rocking a new blonde ‘do and a very interesting ensemble including studded shorts, leather thigh high boots from Christian Louboutin and a $629 Stella McCartney Colour Play Striped Knit Pullover: Her tangerine wool sweater features cream stripes and long sleeves for a bright take on winter dressing.

RIHANNA Spotted At Greystone Manor In '80s-inspired Skin-Tight Two Piece Dress

I've seen a few people rocking oversized T-shirts (worn tastefully) and wild hair, reminiscent of the '80s. My upcoming fashion shows (early, mid, late 2012) displaying my neckties and bowties, Vintage Ties by JAIDEN Detroit, will have an '80s theme to it. No one can get rid of the '80s *LoL*, I don't know why....

Anyhoo, Rihanna was spotted at Greystone Manor wearing an '80s-inspired spandex two-piece dress that hugged every curve, and also one of her favorite Louboutins. If you look closely, she's wearing a belly necklace, body necklace, whatever that is. She's also changed up the game (sharply contrasting for her sexy and sensual wear) unexpectedly by wearing a camo cap on top of mussied hair.

Rihanna's truly rocking out her '80s ROCKER CHICK phase...

RIHANNA Gone Rocker At Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour; Tattoos 'THUG LIFE' On Fingers!!

Rihanna was spotted looking ROCKER CHICK at the Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour. Loving the mussed-up and blown-out hair, definitely reminiscent of the '80s, and also check out the leather pants (could they be in this year for the fashion-daring?) and that BOSS leather jacket that she's wearing. It seems like it tells a story with its rocker studs, upside down cross, and side detailing. Will update on what brand the jacket is.

Check out more views of Rihanna's rocker clothes, as well as the tattoo (temporary or permanent?) 'THUG LIFE' that she tattooed on her fingers:

RIHANNA Wears Head-Turning Louboutin Sandals w/ Straps As Measuring Tape!!

Check out Rihanna's $795 Christian Louboutin strapped sandals. Looks normal, huh?

Well, look a little closer...

The straps are actually CALFSKIN LEATHER MEASURING TAPE! These sandals would pop even more worn with calf-length pants or a nice rocker TUTU.

The Most Fashionable EXes: Rihanna and Chris Brown (Y'all Asked For It So...)

I usually don't like to group Rihanna and Chris Brown together because that would make me right along with the rest of the folk that fueling the flames of the still-smoldering 2009 issue of the Rihanna and Chris Brown incident. Coming up is the 3-year anniversary of that and I seriously wish it would go away. PEOPLE keep it alive.

But anyway, I keep track of my viewers (yes, many of you) and it's very clear that the tag 'CHRIS BROWN' is the highest sought-after name on my blog search and is the main drive of traffic to my blog. But here's the kicker: 'RIHANNA' is the name that is one of the most sought-after... RIGHT AFTER viewers are finished searching blog posts for 'Chris Brown.'

BUT... they are EXes now, even though they were spotted at the same lounge, Greystone Manor. So without further ado, here are a few pics of the most fashionable EXes alive: Rihanna and Chris Brown:

So whaddaya make of this? I don't see anything but TWO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (as Chris would say). Do I want Chris Brown and Rihanna back together? No. Move on.

*Wink and a smirk... then a SMH*

RIHANNA's Unique (And Revealing) Swim Suit by Norma Kamali

Check out this unique swim suit (by Norma Kamali for $350) that Rihanna is wearing. It has this clever wraparound silver ribbon design that covers the unmentionables and bares just enough to not be offensive or raunchy, the latter of which is typically not a good fashion design direction.

But it's a good look... nice and simple gold jewelry to contrast the daring and edgy swim suit.

2012 Is A Time For Women's Bow Tie Designs (And Rihanna's Bow Tie)

Rihanna (2010)

2012 is a trend for bow ties!!

Now bow ties have been in for many centuries, but none like this time, especially for WOMEN. Which is why I'm jumping on the bandwagon by introducing my upcoming tie collection, VINTAGE TIES BY JAIDEN DETROIT. This collection consists of me collecting vintage ties upon my shopping trips and then altering and/or restoring them to its original or improved grandeur.

Also, I will have custom ties made. The ties will be slightly outlandish but invoke ART to them.

It will be HOTT! Coming Spring 2012...

Twin collection (soon to be converted into bow ties)

NOOOO Rihanna!!! Why Are You Dressing Like A Bum?!

Now don't get me wrong...

I am a die-hard Rihanna fan (yes, she's my guilty pleasure) and whatever she wears and sings, I take notice because there's something so RICH about her ever-evolving style, and for the better half of 2011 and the beginning of 2012, I'm NOT liking what I see!

Don't care or don't believe me? Just see these pics for yourself. Whether of not you may care about Rihanna's style, at least you can see the DECLINE of it:

Come on back RiRi, are you hiding from me, yeah... somewhere in the crowd... (song 'Where Have You Been' LoL)

THE ONLY JAIDEN Officially Lists The Seven Of The BADDEST and BEAUTIFUL Women Of 2011!

RIHANNA

It's almost YEAR-END, and I cannot let my blog go into 2012 without listing seven of the BADDEST and BEAUTIFUL women in the game. Here are the following seven women to have graced my list due to their independency, hard-working careers, natural beauty, FASHION, media pull, and natural SWAG.

These women come in no particular rank.

Rihanna. Barbadian Beauty. Multiple #1 Billboard songs. Dominating fashion sense. To the fans, she's addictive. To the haters, she's...addictive, too.

Vanessa and Angela Simmons (counts as one). Beautiful sisters hard-in-paint for PASTRY business. Models-in-making. Both balance each other out; Vanessa is the mundane and 'mysteriously' sexy type while Angela is the no-barred, flashy type.

Jennifer Lopez. Hot mama of TWINS. Sparklin' Emilio Pucci dress and Louboutins (above). Center of attention in American Idol. Hotter in her 40s than most women in their 20s. 'Nuf said.

Beyonce. If you think I should EXPOUND more, *scoff* you must not know 'bout BEY, you must not know 'bout BEY.

Amber Rose. Bounced from A-Lister to A-Lister hopelessly. Landed on her feet with endorsement deals and gaining respectable momentum (contrary to what some may think). Iconic short blonde hair.

Kardashian Sisters (counts as one). 'Kim Kardashian' garners most media attention. Though hated, Kim remains widely relevant. Younger sisters are models-in-making. Khloe is most straight-arrowed. Kourtney is prettiest. ONE BIG BALL of Kardashian Kash, somewhere in $60 MILLION worth range.

...And last but not least... (an unlikely but WELL choice ending up in TWO-WAY tie!)

(TIE)

MADONNA and SADE. This has nothing to do with my piqued interest in older women (well... a little bit) but these two women are still going strong in BUSINESS, BODY, AND BOLDNESS in a music pool of a younger and rapidly-changing generation. Madonna is on a widespread, international 'LIKE' scale; Sade is on a much smaller and concentrated scale and one of those 'mysteriously sexy' women who leave a lot to the imagination.
