C’mon rude boy…

RudeBoy: [noun]  boys who cause trouble

Most people who know me know that Im not one to become obsessed with certain celebs…

Im not crazy in love over Beyonce, Im not gonna go insane for Gaga. But the ONE celeb that I will make an exception for is Rhianna. She’s seriously my girl crush. I’l be the first to admit, I am a complete Rhi Rhi fanatic. Though I love her songs, I could do without her singing…what I absolutely adore and LOVE about her is her style. Major credit due to her stylist, my idol Mariel Hann, for transforming Rhi Rhi into the style icon that she is today. I try to channel some of the looks that I see from Rhianna, and transform them into my own style.

Her newest video for her song “Rude Boy” is insane!!! Its my song of the moment, but what Im diggin the most is the video.  The concept and style is crazy!  The use of colors, outfits with bold prints, zebras, eclectic jewelry, crazy hair….ahhhh!!!  The song channels Rhi Rhi’s Caribbean roots with its West Indian dance & musical style, and most of the video was shot in front of a green screen to get the crazy effects.

Heres how you can achieve your “Rude Boy Look”:

-Bright and tight fitted colored tank top
-Jewelry galore…think long gold chains, thick bracelets stacked, rings on most your fingers, and don’t forget the doorknocker hoops
-leggings/skirt/or shorts with bold print, an African print works best
-Hair with an elvis poof effect. My re-creation of this involved TONS of bobby pins, hairspray, and time!

This look will have you doing the dutty wine in no time.
