| Risk taker: While Rihanna was honoured by the CFDA for taking risks with her fashion choices, it is highly unlikely they expected her to show up almost naked on Monday |
The outfit, simultaneously, has everything and nothing.
 |
| Leaving nothing to the imagination: Rihanna opted for just a sheer embellished backless halter dress which showed off every inch of her body as she was honoured at the CFDA awards on Monday |
Swarovski crystals, gloves, fishnet and fur are all there but what’s missing is nipple coverage.

The Diamonds singer confidently walked the red carpet at the Council of Fashion Designers of America awards in the custom Adam Selman dress. |

Holding the fur wrap to cover the only non-sheer part of her outfit -
a nude g-string - Rihanna told reporters “you will never be stylish if
you don’t take risks”.
Her risque style has certainly won her some acclaim, as she was attending the fashion awards to receive the Fashion Icon award. It is given to stars that have made an impact on popular culture through their style.

| Revealing: While Rihanna opted for a pair of flesh coloured underwear, she went without a bra and onlookers couldn't fail to notice |
While the fashion world might be impressed with her style, Instagram is certainly not.
The pop star deleted her Instagram account recently after a row with the company, over what Instagram deemed as '‘innapropriate’' images.
She posted photographs from her shot with Lui magazine, where she is completely topless.

Instagram deleted the images and Rihanna retorted by posting them on Twitter, and making her own meme with a dig at Instagram.
Rihanna later confirmed she deleted the account, taking to Twitter to let people know,
“Let’s be clear, I do NOT have an IG account,” she wrote underneath a photo of a fake Instagram account.
The designer Tom Ford also came out in defence of Rihanna’s Instagram account, saying the pop star’s posts had more weight than fashion magazines.

“Customers don't care any more about reviews or hard-copy publications,” he told Style.com’s Time Blanks.
“They care which picture Rihanna just Instagrammed while she's naked in bed, what new shoes she has on, how she's talking about them. That's what they respond to.”
Rihanna often takes style risks on the red carpet, which are as often as not misses rather than hits.
One hit was the Stella McCartney cropped two-piece she wore to the Met Gala, however the backless gold sheath she wore to the after-party was cut so low you could see her bare bum crack.

| Rihanna looked almost demure as she made her way to the event but when she got there EVERYTHING was visible under the lights |
At this year’s MTV awards Rihanna opted for a boudoir look, wearing what looked like a night gown over a white bodysuit.
And how can we forget the golden yellow Alexandre Vauthier gown Rihanna wore the night before the Grammys?
While the colour was fantastic, it was a feat of magic that the dress managed to keep all of Rihanna’s private parts covered.
Rihanna is certainly a fashion risk-taker and designer Zac Posen thinks it definitely pays off.
"She takes risks and she marches to her own drum and she knows what she likes," Posen told The Associated Press before the CFDA show.
"That's why people love to dress her," Posen said.
He said when he first met the singer before her first album was released, it was obvious she had star power.
"She was a fashion world novice then but obviously she had looks and confidence and little-girl charm,” the designer told AP.
“All the ingredients were there for her to be a huge superstar: ambition, strength, and also vulnerability."
As for her use of shock value – used by the bucket-load in
her CFDA appearace – Posen says it has “kept her current and balanced
how classically beautiful she is."

| Quite an eyeful! As she made her way to the stage Rihanna flashed her pert bottom to the entire room |
