And now Ri-Ri is on a one woman mission to make the 90s fashionable again by bringing back the bum bag (or 'fanny pack' as they like to call them in the States) *sniggers*.
But while we've been distracted for the last 20 minutes singing "she's got her fanny pack" to the tune of Justin Timberlake's SexyBack, we're not quite sure if we're ready for a revival just yet.
The singer was sporting a dollar sign encrusted number as she stepped out on the streets of Manhattan yesterday.
But she was also experimenting with another dodgy trend too - multiple denim.
And obviously never one to do things by halves, Rihanna opted for not just double denim, but TRIPLE denim - wearing jeans, a basque and a shirt.
What would Auntie Gok say?
And while we're picking over her look, considering she's only just had a new weave put in, surely someone could have slapped a bit of peroxide on those roots?
Meanwhile. Chris Brown's current girlfriend has spoken out about the death threats she has been receiving from Rihanna's fans.

And now Ri-Ri is on a one woman mission to make the 90s fashionable...
Will Young fears Rihanna is not a good role model for young girls because her sexually-charged videos and raunchy lyrics are "not empowering". The singer...
Rihanna once said she didn't want to be remembered solely for her disastrous relationship with Brown, which makes their duet all the more sickening and bizarrely misguided. Expecting pop stars to be moral guardians is often wishful thinking but in taking Brown to court and rebuilding her life, Rihanna became a hero to many young women.
A lesson beautifully illustrated by Rihanna in the November issue of British Vogue, in whose glossy pages the singer reveals both airbrushed clavicles and a fondness for the word 'c---'. Not a bad choice for your favourite expletive, but there was one problem: she had no idea it was offensive.
I can't stand by Rihanna's decision to release this song but I will say that I think this situation is more complex than I, and perhaps many others, initially considered.
