SHE may be one of the world’s most stylish women but pop superstar Rihanna looked like she had rolled out of bed when she stepped out wearing a slinky nightdress.
The We Found Love singer appeared to have finally run out of clothes as she ventured out in New York wearing a pink satin nightie.
Teaming her low cut slip with a pair of black converse pumps and a casual denim jacket, the star looked perfectly happy as she made her way to watch the Brazil-Germany World Cup clash last week.
RiRi – who is known for pushing fashion boundaries – proved she can’t resist a sexy outfit, even if it’s just for a casual outing. And her just-rolled-out-of-bed look was enhanced by the messy updo.
A host of celebrities have embraced the trend including Kim Kardashian, Ellie Goulding, Miley Cyrus, Beyonce and Rita Ora. Even fashion royalty such as Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham have been spotted stepping out in sophisticated lingerie-style ensembles.
We took model Pamela Beattie to Glasgow’s St Enoch Centre to test RiRi’s latest look – and there was a mixed reaction from punters.
Pamela, 26, from Glasgow, said: “The nightdress is lovely but I think it’s better suited to the bedroom. It’s very comfy to wear but not practical enough during the day.
I can see why Rihanna liked it. She’s very fashion forward but I don’t think this look will catch on any time soon.”
Pedro Guedes, 40, from Glasgow, was impressed with the outfit and thinks women shouldn’t be afraid to try something new.
He said: “I think it’s sexy, feminine and elegant.
“It doesn’t look over the top and more women should try this.”
Jen Clark, 33, Laura Stobbie and Ashley Feeney, both 26, were all fans of the look.
Laura, from Ayr, said: “I would wear this for a night out. It looks great, especially, with the denim jacket and trainers, which give it an edge.”
Jen, who lives in Glasgow, added: “The nightie needs to be a little shorter. I’ve worn lingerie as outerwear before and would do it again. I think it’s sexy without showing too much flesh.”
But not everyone was impressed with the look.
Ioan Bostoinche, 22, said: “It’s a little too revealing, I’m not a fan. I think it a bit dated and better suited for indoors.”
Margaret Weir, 69, from Rutherglen, added: “It’s OK but not something I’d try. It shows off a bit too much cleavage but I’ve seen worse.”
The underwear as outerwear look was championed on the catwalk at Dolce and Gabbana, Stella McCartney and Dior, with the trend now filtering down to the High Street.
Sales of lingerie have soared at Debenhams as fans try to recreate the style.
Eve Robertson, senior PR manager for Debenhams, said: “There are plenty of ways to incorporate lingerie-inspired looks into everyday outfits.
“Try pairing a silk floral cami top with a pencil skirt and jacket for a chic glamorous look or pair a slip lace dress with a pretty cardigan.”
