WORK IT, RI!

Rihanna was spotted going to town with the fierce poses while outside of the MTV Studios in NYC earlier today, November 9, of course keeping her sunglasses on the entire time. It's nice to see Rihanna seeming to have such a playful time, especially right after her 20/20 interview that just aired. For her "Alexa Chung" appearance, RiRi chose a Freddy Krueger-esque black and red striped hooded dress (get your stripe fix with either Splendid's Vintage Striped Tank in Pomegranate or their Rubly Milange Top in Boysenberry, or Ella Moss' Skye Widesleeve Top in Amour) with a sturdy pair of ankle booties, oversized black shades, a gold watch, and multiple bangles (try Alex and Ani's Lifetime of Luck Expandable Wire Bangles in Silver). What are your thoughts on R's look here, readers - are you a fan? She opened up to Alexa during her appearance, speaking out about why she chose to be vocal about her situation with Chris Brown. She says, "I did the interview to give insight to people who have been through what I have. [The fan response has been] insane, and for a little statistic there’s the domestic violence hotline, and the calls have been up 59 percent. It’s also helping save lives." She went on to discuss her first single, "Russian Roulette," off of her new album, saying "The song was very dark, which matched the base of the album. I love that it was metaphorical." I have to be honest - I'm not really feeling the track. Any of you have thoughts about Ri's new single, positive or negative?
