Presenter P. Diddy revealed the news to the entire audience in attendance and watching at home.

Let’s take a quick trip down fashion memory lane. Do you recall when Rihanna showed up to the 2015 Grammys? The stylish vixen came looking like a three tier Barbie cake. RiRi has always had love for the color pink and if you don’t believe check this out. So then, we decided to find her a new ultimate pink dress and we succeeded! We found Rihanna a new pink dress by Ralph and Russo.
We Found Rihanna a New Pink Dress
Now if you remember back in 2015 Rihanna’s pink red carpet smash was designed by Giamattista Valli. The dress made even more news for two reasons. First, Rihanna was one of the very last celebrities to arrive to the Grammys that year. As a result, she instantly captured everyone’s undivided attention.
Second, Rihanna revealed how the dress came to be in her possession. While other celebrities had their stylists hard at work finding them a designer frock to wear. Fenty simply did some online shopping. Yes, the singer literally searched online, found the infamous pink dress and purchased it. Therefore, that is how Rihanna’s humongous pink gown went from Paris Couture Fashion Week to the Grammys red carpet.
Ralph and Russo
Ralph and Russo has produced several extremely gorgeous pink dresses this year. If Rihanna ever wanted to dazzle in a pink showstopper again one of these designs would be perfection.

Drake must be grinning from ear to ear after seeing Rihanna’s latest editorial! The Rihanna W Magazine September 2016 issue is out of this world fantastic! From the styling to the makeup it is amazingly intense!
Rihanna W Magazine September 2016
If we had to guess which celebrity would probably survive if the world came to an end Rihanna would be high on the list. She has mastered the art of truly being herself in an industry full of fabrication. Plus, she has overcome negativity and past lukewarm sales to become one of the biggest artists of all time!
She is deemed a fashion icon and has even surpassed MJ on the charts when it comes to number ones. If she can achieve being one of the last musicians of her “time” to still be relevant over a decade later. Rihanna can definitely be the last woman standing here on earth.
Simply Wow
No one can do it like a badgal. The Rihanna W magazine September 2016 editorial is a moody masterpiece. Photography was lensed by the extremely gifted Steven Klein. Also, styling for the shoot was of course handled by the one and only Edward Enninful.
Nevertheless, we cannot ignore the exquisite makeup looks adorned by Rihanna. The extraordinary beauty looks were designed by the infamous Pat McGrath. Pat went all out even creating 3D art that intensified Rihanna’s facial features. As a result, RiRi seems to pop right off the page and she looks like she missed her calling as a supermodel.
However, don’t just take our word for it. Check out a behind the scene look of Rihanna’s photo shoot.
Furthermore, if you liked that here is the full length version. Also, keep sliding down to see Rihanna’s sick editorial. Enjoy Navy!

With the amount of time spent in front of screens (comps and cellies) it was only a matter of time before social media habits crept into our love lives. On dates we constantly see couples more glued to their smartphones than the eyes of their SO. Location updates, food pics, restaurant check-ins have also become on-the-date norms. Moreover, if that wasn’t enough, you can also kiss old school conversation good-bye while you’re at it. Chats, DMs and texts are the new wave of communication. With this tech dating reality among us you may just wonder, what social media says about your love life?
What Social Media Says About Your Love Life
We’re all doomed! Just kidding, no need to go running out into the streets in full on Godzilla panic just yet. However, taking a closer look at your love life through the lense of social media could still do your relationship some good. These days, we’re all just one meme away from love bliss or detriment.
New studies and research is now frequently being done to understand the inter-workings of social media and the impact it has on human relationships. One recent finding showed that those who clocked more hours than their love on social media made a big difference. Alright girls you can exhale. It turns out if you are the one putting in more time than a part-time job at Forever 21 your relationship may not take a beating. However, guys didn’t fair as well in this case.
Husbands and boyfriends that hit up social media platforms more than their wives and girlfriends caused more problems in the relationship. The study found when the scales were majorly tipped in this way couples argued way more often. Researchers believe that men that log more time online may be doing it to seek support.
Their suggestion? Talk to him. Communicate with your guy to see what’s going on in his life. Maybe there is something bugging him and you are just the gal who can help it get fixed.
Ain’t Nothing Like Emoji Party
We hope you sang that heading with your best Tupac voice (LOL). Anyway, we digress, back to the topic at hand. Let’s get into: What Social Media Says About Your Love Life when it comes to emojis!
Emojis freaking make the world go round. If you are anything like us you most likely need a 10 step program to stop the addiction. Feeling flirty? There is an emoji for that. Need your man to know you hungry and hangry? Shoot… a couple emojis all lined up and looking purr-ty will having know what’s up. In a nutshell, emojis help to paint a picture for your dude easily and simply.
Well, good news fellow emoji abusers! These cartoon-ish gems actually help to amp up intimacy among other things. A popular match site decided to find out the truth about emojis through a survey. Their findings? They found that 40 percent of people who engage in using multiple emojis during conversations tend to be more frisky and go on on more dates.
The use of emojis shows that a person is fun, playful and has a sense of humor. Since texting, chats and DMs by themselves can be quite stale. Emojis liven up a convo with the quickness.
What Social Media Says About Your Love Life – Brag So Hard
Hey when you’re proud you’re proud right? In this case naw, that is very wrong. We’ve all seen it. That one person who posts WCW and MCM like they have recently found out their love life was going to be chronicled by Disney.
You are happy at first, but then 80 posts and 6 days later it gets to be just too much. Researchers have begun to agree. A recent study came to the conclusion that a person who constantly bragged about their boo actually has an insecure bond.
Insecure? Eek, doesn’t that word just give you the heebie buhgeebies? No one likes insecurity to be apart of their intimate relationships. Insecurity wrecks havoc if left unchecked. One partner can begin to suspect wrongdoing and you can forget about trust.
Nevertheless, the study went on to show that couple profile photos were just fine. Actually, couples that displayed such pics demonstrated higher relationship satisfaction. The lesson? Don’t overdo it when it comes to showing off your love. Sappy posts are fine, but it find yourself vomiting out post after post from your cell phone it may be time for self evaluation. Furthermore, researchers also suggest assessing your connection with your love bug as well.
Let’s Conclude
Love is more than a hashtag, photo, like, comment or shoutout. Get into some of the retro practices like phone calls, dates with out phones present (put it in a purse or pocket) and saying the words, “I love you.” As nice as it is to shout to the world how much you love someone its even sweeter to be shown how much someone cares.
Actions speak louder than words and the Gram. They are stronger than a tweet, snap story or FB post. Relationships have stood the test of time throughout centuries because two people decided to spend quality time together. Therefore, communicate without the screen and any post will be just icing on the cake.

Rihanna stepped out tonight in full head-to-toe glamour as the Anti World Tour Goes to London! RiRi has been on a roll in the style department and stunning her fans in everything from swimwear to urban chic. One fact remains whether she’s at the pool or about to take the stage she kills it!
Just hours ago social media erupted as the Anti World Tour Goes To London frenzy got underway. Rihanna is in the UK to perform at the historic Wembley Stadium. Over 90,000 fans will soon be screaming their brains out to hits like Work, BBHMM and Love the Way You Lie.
Speaking of Love the Way You Lie, that is the song Rihanna recently shed some tears during while performing in Dublin. Fans were instantly very concerned and worried about Rihanna’s health. As of tonight, Rihanna looked healthy and vibrant. So no need to worry navy, Robin is okay!
Anti World Tour Goes To London On The Move
It may be a little wet in London, but tomorrow Rihanna will bring the heat as she takes the stage at Wembley. Some of the most iconic events and artists have graced the stage there. Who all have performed at Wembley Stadium? Events and artists such as: The London Olympics, The Rolling Stones, Live Aid, Queen, World Cup, Muse and Michael Jackson the King of Pop.
Nevertheless, Rihanna’s stay in the UK is not an one night stand. After her concert at Wembley Stadium her tour bus will roll out to a few other cities. She will also perform at Coventry Ricoh Arena and Hampden Park.
Rihanna was in good company upon her arrival into London Town. Her brother and BFF, Melissa “Mdollas1” Forde, were spotted heading to dinner with the songstress. They dined on Cantonese cuisine at Hakkasan. Upon arriving, Rihanna dazzled in front of paparazzi and their flashing cameras.
She wore an all black ensemble and carried her valuables in a cute Louis Vuitton handbag. We have been living for the oversized look Rihanna has been rocking with lately. The oversized tee and furry velvet boots were simply killer!
More Rihanna Headlines
Switching gears a little bit but still staying within the fashion world. New kicks by Miss Fenty are currently available. Well, sort of new in a way.
The fan favorite Fenty x Puma trainers are now available in Grey. The silvery tone gives the sneakers a super sleek look and feel. To many fans the release is a true relief. Especially, since the trainers continue to sell out at record pace.
Last bit of Rihanna news that we will hit today is the new song collaboration between our Badgal and Calvin Harris. The dance hit helped achieve more Billboard charts history for both artists. This Is What You Came For debuted at No.1 on the Dance/Electronic chart and at No.9 for the Hot 100 chart.
Rihanna Making History
This Is What You Came For is Rihanna’s 28th top 10 smash and Calvin Harris’ fourth. This means that Rihanna is now tied with legend, Stevie Wonder. Therefore, Rihanna continues to flex her music icon status and do it across multiple charts.
Nonetheless, this raises a few questions in light of the Anti World Tour Goes to London show. It is not uncommon for special guests to make an appearance during a big show. Will Calvin Harris suddenly appear to perform “This” with Rihanna? Or will Drake cross the pond to “Work” it with Fenty?
Calvin Harris taking selfies with fan
Well, in a few hours all will be revealed. We can’t wait and we are curious if Rihanna will take home a BET Award this Sunday. BET Network came under fire for stating on Twitter that the Anti album was better than Beyonce’s Lemonade album. More on that later and let’s just enjoy Rihanna’s voguish fashion for now!

To quickly illustrate, Rihanna brought back her famous Creepers shoes. The first time around the popular shoe sold out of minutes. Since then, RiRi fans have begged and pleaded for the shoe design to come back into the fashion picture. Rihanna finally answered the style call and brought back the shoe in three new colors. The result? The kicks sold out in 30 minutes… again.
With that type of influence and power fashion houses and brands continue to line up for the chance to collaborate the chic mogul. With that being said it no wonder that Dior decided to work with Rihanna once again. Ah yes, the Rihanna x Dior sunglasses collection is not the first time the music icon and luxurious brand have crossed paths.
Last year, Rihanna starred as the face of Dior’s 2015 Secret Garden Campaign. This was no small feat. Rihanna was thrust in the history books as being the first woman of color to be the face of Dior. It looks like the Rihanna x Dior partnership has only blossomed over time and we are completely excited for their upcoming release!

Most likely after the dress you noticed the boots. Those bad boys are Gucci too. They are the Gucci Finnlay Leather High Heel Boots retailing for $1,990. However, the splurge worthy details do not end with those glorious lace-up shoes. Jewelry anyone?
Rihanna adorned herself with a $11,500 Dior Cannage Bracelet, Jacquie Aiche’s Cameo Rings and $4,690 Diamond Halter Bra. And oh yeah, what’s a chic look without a handbag.
