Rihanna Makes Alexis Cry and Amber Rose Makes My Eyes Cry!

Somewhere Alexis Carrington's shoulder pads are crying and Lady Gaga is distressed as she needs to outdo this. All that because of you Rihanna! Those shoulder pads look like hot air balloons. I mean, where is this going, people? How far can we go? How ridiculous can we be? Is it some kind of competition? You can tell when celebrities have nothing better to do with their time: I don't think you can go to too many places wearing shoulder pads so large that you cannot walk through any door - unless you're going to Walmart -
Maybe Rihanna's show is like a wrestling match. Judging by her other stage outfits, I would say it's a cross between wrestling and an X-rated movie. Her stage pictures would make even Madonna blush. I will spare you this vision. However, what I will not spare you from is this vision below (or more like a nightmare in color):

That dress is LOUDER THAN KANYE WEST'S BLOG POSTS. Fluo makeup? Check. Fluo dress designed by someone who clearly had his vision altered after taking magic mushrooms? Check. Fluo shoes? Check. So of course, Kanye's lady friend has to wear sunglasses at night. This whole thing is blinding me. And frankly, I'm a little scared.

1-800-Got-Shoulder-Pads?

I'm not a fan of the shoulder pads trend (à la Lady Gaga) by any mean, but there are cute ways to wear them this season. Since many of you seem to have a fascination for Rihanna's dress from her latest "Russian Roulette" video, here is a  quick overview of similar dresses - and they are a LOT cheaper than her Balmain gear.

This first dress above is from the american brand Alice+Olivia for $264 (available online or at Barney's or Neiman Marcus in the US)

This grey Mango dress retails for $119

From Zara lookbook

Now, with Zara -and Mango to a certain extent- remember: these guys change their styles quite often in their stores and their stocks may vary from one country to another. The two outfits here may not be available just yet, so keep on checking. I will try to find out the availability from Zara.
