Is it weird to call this gown tame by Nicki Minaj standards? This is a woman who attends fashion shows in the daytime with a single breast exposed. In any case, it’s by unlikely red-carpet designers H&M and the belt features a rendering of Rei Kawakubo’s face, which is a nice touch.
Rihanna is the definitive high-fashion red-carpet dresser of the twenty-teens. So of course, she was wearing Comme des Garçons. It’s a look straight from the autumn/winter 2016 catwalk – it’s completely eccentric, delicate and pretty at the same time. It really works.
