Paralympics Closing Ceremony
Rihanna performed Run This Town with Jay-Z at the Paralympics closing ceremony wearing a custom mesh bodysuit by frequent collaborator Adam Selman. She also wore cat eye sunglasses from Agent Provocateur x Linda Farrow and suede ankle strap pumps by Manolo Blahnik. And for all those who love to know about Rih’s makeup: Mylah Morales used M.A.C lipstick in Lady Danger on Rihanna that night.
Update: Thanks to MusicFashionLand, we now know that Rihanna’s shorts are from Frankie Morello’s Spring/Summer 2013 menswear collection.
Goodbye London!
Rihanna was spotted at Heathrow International Airport wearing a couple of items from Trapstar. She wore their blue and grey bobble hat with a Riders logo t-shirt. A similar Riders t-shirt is available in their online store. She covered up with Opening Ceremony‘s OC Patch varsity jacket that was personalised with her name. Rih also wore her favourite Nike x Kanye West Air Yeezy II sneakers.
Rihanna’s Suede Nails
Rihanna shared a pic recently of her “suede” manicure. This is better known as a velvet manicure and Kimmie Kyees used Original Sugar‘s Velveteen kit to create the look. This is one of the newest trends in nail art right now with many a polish lover coming up with unique ways to achieve it. Kimmie put a fresh spin on the mani by only applying it to the tips and creating a half moon at the nail base.
The process of creating this look is fairly simple: just paint your nails as usual, apply a matte top coat and while it’s still a bit wet dip your nails in the velvet product. Original Sugar’s Velveteen is available in 12 colours. Check out their official website for more info.
