Rihanna’s new look: Is the patron saint of badassery going soft on us?

See all of Rihanna’s most recent looks »

Rihanna, otherwise known as the baddest b*tch on Instagram, is embracing a softer side for 2014. She’s been stepping out in more than a few mega classy spring looks as of late and while we’ll never not crave a little stripper steez, her softer side equally intrigues us. After all, any good fashion plate must shed her layers once in a while.

This weekend, Rihanna attended Roc Nation’s pre-Grammy party in the opening look from Altuzarra’s latest lady-for-everyday collection. The Spring 2014 outfit featured a silk striped button down blouse that was worn tucked into a three-quarter-length fold-over stripe skirt and paired with white Manolo Blahnik heels as well as an assortment of bling by Neil Lane, Roseark and Jennifer Meyer. Okay, so the top was unbuttoned down to her naval and the skirt was slit to her lady bits. It’s still quite a departure from this this and this (and this).

Later that night, Riri channelled JLo circa the 2000 Grammy Awards in an undone yellow silk Alexandre Vauthier robe that okay does not look covered up at all but we didn’t want to ignore it.

Back on the lady train today in New York, Rihanna went full on sophisticate in a two-piece tangerine Chanel skirt suit on Good Morning America, where she appeared promoting her latest collaboration with M.A.C. Viva Glam. Boucle? Nary a boob was exposed either, in a bodysuit by her stylist Adam Selman. The icing on the covered-up cake came this afternoon, when she visited M.A.C.’s Soho store in a purple metallic blazer, a cobalt blue mermaid skirt and a scarf tied at the neck all by Lanvin.

If only for the month, it looks like our little BadGalRiri is growing up. While we mourn this temporary loss of booty, we’ll just watch this a few times to get a fix.
