She looks to have possibly put on a little weight recently…
What do YOU all think?
she looks good
She looks cute
fug
i find her very unattractive
No she looks fab! She has always been curvier from the waist down..
NOT a rihanna fan, but i don’t think she’s gained…she’s always been thicker in the legs. Looks the same to me
ummm no
oh god yeah he is gaining. her legs look terribly unattractive. the jeans on the person on the right- are kinda cool. and it isn’t like her friend on the right has a good body but wow in comparison it looks good.
On a side note…that hair is so…unfortunate. To put it nicely.
You know, I read she said she is a size 2. No way. She is 5′10 and yes pretty thin, but NO size 2….
She looks good. I don’t think she’s gained any weight. Looks about the same. I don’t particularly like those scarves.
yeah she is a size two- give me a break those legs are fat.
Nope, she’s just curvy, and has slimmed down from a few years ago. The girl has hips, that’s all! She is flawlessly beautiful and I think her current weight looks fantastic!
She looks the same. Definetely not gained, whatsoever. I don´t really like her look here.
i adore her outfit
think she has a fabulous body…but why is she wearing sunglasses at night…I HATE THAT
she may have gained a bit but she looks amazing. curvy and sexy.
Gained? No no she looks really healthy and pretty. Saying anything else is ignorance!
It could be the outfit. The buttons on the top and the skinny jeans could be making her look bigger, but I think she looks good even so. I love her confidence in what she wears and that short hair.
I don’t think she’s gained. Her thighs have always been that big.
She looks okay though. Well, except for the fugly hair.
Uh, I don’t think so!! She looks great as usual!
Her pig nose is perpetually in the air. And skinny jeans are not flattering on those legs.
Her pig nose is perpetually in the air.
i think she looks the same, she always had this pear shape
Nope, looks the same as she always does to me.
She looks the same. She has always been bottom heavy. I cant stand her haircut, it makes her look so old. I miss the long haired, not bob cut, Rihanna.
I love her! SHe looks good, doesn’t look like she’s gained at all. It must be surreal to see everyone stop and stare as you walk down the streeet…
I agree what others have been saying. She’s always had thicker legs, kind of a pear shape. I think she looks great and I just lover her style and her music!
I think sometimes she looks slim but sometimes she looks big. But she´s NEVER a size 2. Don´t believe it. But I don´t know why she would be saying that.
I think she looks awesome. No gaining weight at all. She looks so fit! On a side note… her pal’s jeans (with the red shoes)… amazing!! Love them!
Shandicamel…did you ever think she was talking about dress size?…Her waist is definitely at most a size two…her jeans…probably not
Anyways she has always been shaped like this…she just usually hides it better thats all… She looks good.
i have always wondered why are the number/sizes on our clothes so important?
who cares if she isn’t a size2, she is healthy and slim, nothing worng with some meat on your bones
This is not weight related, but I really wish people would stop freaking out every time a girl cuts her hair. Honestly, Katie Holmes went from a pretty midwestern girl to a beautiful sophisticated woman just by losing her long hair (and about 15 lbs.), Hayden Panettiere also looks much classier and sophisticated with her new bob, and Rihanna’s haircut differentiates her from all the other cookie-cutter extension-wearing poptarts out there (not that I particularly care for her music). I realize these girls are on the young side, but still, I applaud them for not trying to look like they’re perpetually 15 years old. Some of the “mature” women in H-wood could learn from them (I’m looking at you Fergie). Shorter hair is classier.
she looks about a size 4/6 .. she is very small on top but shes thicker on her bottom and she suits it and she has perfect skin. she hasnt gained, she looks the same if not slimmer
she looks small!
i can’t believe anyone likes her figure!
her legs are awful. I suppose i am the only one who thinks this..
people stop and stare all the time at an attractive girl. of course they are going to stop and stare at a celeb, that doesn’t mean they look good it just means they are famous.
She was a size 2/4 a few months ago. She looks like a size 6/8 now (considering her height). At 5′8 a size 2-4 is pretty slim and she looks to have gained 15 lbs recently. So there is no way she wears a 2-4 still.
I don’t think she has gained much weight. Actually, I think she looks better than she has.
Ugggh. Her companion/friend’s red pointy shoes are making me cringe. Are people really still wearing those stupid things?
She looks pretty fabulous!
What is wrong with you people? Are you actually blind? How is it that everyone else on this site is too fat and Rhianna is fine?
She’s ENORMOUS compared to some of the other people that get judged here? That Heroes girl is stumpy and fat and Rihanna is fine?
Seriously are you kidding me? Judging her by the standards everyone else is judged she is and always will be a FATTY.
She’s not gaining weight; it’s just that those jeans are skinny jeans that hug her calves and make her look curvier. Actually, those jeans will make just about ANYONE look curvier than they really are. And I’m really getting sick of the ubiquitous graduated bob haircut that everyone’s getting. I’m wondering if it’s going to be the new “Rachel” cut…people are going to ask their stylist for the “Victoria Beckham” cut. So dumb.
A quick glance through your archives makes it look like some yo-yoing is going on. She was thinner in February—but that animal print thing from december third—well judge for yourself.
What about that herve leger getup she wore today? She looked pretty darn fabulous! I think the jeans were an unfortunate choice here.
Yay Jamie! Totally agree w/ the hair debate.
i don’t know what everyone is talking about. she has definitely gained weight. she lost a bunch and then she was in people magazine last year for being a size 2 but now she is for sure bigger. and why does everyone think that rihanna having a little wieght on is a good thing but when its somebody else (like britney) people call her a pig?
she’s always had beefy looking legs
she looks huge…. hope shes getting a salad and some water
let’s face it - rihanna has always had fat legs and she always will. she’s just got chunky legs.
Im sorry Jamie but her hair does not look classy nor sophisticated, just look at th ecolor also. Sure the shorter hair works on Katie Holmes but not on Rihanna. Rihanna looks 40 with that hair. But enough said and longer hair can also look classy, sophistcated and mature.
she’s gorgeous.
she looks like a real woman, but i’m not a fan of the skinny jeans.
I love her hair. I think this is a great look for her. I saw her when she debuted the short hair, at an awards show. Loved it then, and still loving it now.
Her figure is nice, curvy but not fat.
I hate her hair though. Oh and her nipple ring too. (even though we can’t see it in this picture).
Love her shoes. She seems to have a small waist but she does have some big thunder thighs. I read in an interview she said she was 5′8 and 138 although I believe she weighs more than that. Who ever said she used to be a size 2-4??? I don’t ever remember her being small.
seriously Rihanna has never been, and I mean never, a size 2 or 4. She is without a doubt a size 8.
Think Rihanna is about the same…she always seems to appear bottom heavy …her hips and legs is where she carries he weight. Her upper body is a bit thinner but not skinny at all. There is NO WAY that girl is a size 2 even when she was at her thinnest a few years back when she had longer hair and was just coming into some popularity. She is pear shaped and is a larger boned gal. Those skinny jeans do not do her any JUSTICE PERIOD!
A) RHIANNA LOOKS THE SAME. I MISS HER LONG PRETTY HAIR AND SHE WOULD LOOK BOMB IF SHE DROPPED 5-7 LBS.
B) IS THAT BET’S ROXY SHES WITH?!?!
Lookin’ chunky.
NO! If anything she lost weight, I saw a shot of her in short shorts and she looked great. However, I wish she would grow out her hair shoulder length would be good. She’s trying too hard to be “edgy”.
those legs and hips are terrible. thank god she is tall because there is nothing worse then short squatty legs!
She’s turning heads in that first picture. Everyone’s looking at her! She looks about the same to me, I love her style. She’s very pretty.
Sorry, I meant the third picture.
She looks about the same . . .maybe in her thighs and upper leg area. She still looks slim otherwise.
Yes I thought she gained when I saw the first picture, but in the other pictures she looks about the same as always. She looks alright, but I would never ever wear skinny jeans if I had her shape.
I wish people would just not ask celebrities about their weight, I mean hell, would most of you tell just anybody for them to publish a magazine? I’m not defending her for lying about her size/weight, just saying it might be hard to put up with those questions.
sunshine why exactly are you saying she looks like a “real” woman as if other celebs do not?
give me a break she looks like a real fatty! i agree with whoever said i hope she is getting a salad and a water!
a “real” ugly fat pear
are you running out of ideas for posts or something? she looks amazing!
Girlfriend’s jeans are too tight. That’s all.
oh yeah those are skinny jeans. they make normal people look like heifers, and if you’re curvy and have hips you look even worse. I still wear em though, they’re sort of comfy but make me look REALLY SHORT!
Okay, so I have a body just like Rhianna’s….tiny on top and curvy on bottom. She looks good, but when I rock the skinny jeans, I wear a longer top. Her short tank just emphasizes her large hips. Other than that, her body looks the same to me.
PS - LOVE them shoes
The idea of her gaining weight is absurd.
She’s always had rather large legs/hips, and the skinny jeans magnify that by a LOT. I never have liked her style. Cute purse though.
i HATE her outfit that scarf looks so stupid- i think those jeans are just accentuating her thick legs, she has always been bottom heavy.
She has gained very little, and still looks healthy and beautiful!
I love her work but…yes, I must admit: either she gained a bit or she ate something really salty and has retained water. Because her lean look is totally gone and…well, lets just say those thighs do not mix with those jeans. When I first saw Rihanna,I thought she looked like a young Posh Spice but now…well, get into the gym hon, ok?
She’s gorgeous, tall, talented, young and wealthy. Lucky girl.
I’m pretty sure she’s only 5′8 and there is no way she is a size 2. If she is a size two, that girl next to her is a size -9.
She has to be around a size 6.
Nah, she’s always been like that. Fuller bottom and a really tiny waist.
She has big thighs and if she slimmd down she would look nice. I don’t think she is “flawlessly” pretty…look at her five head! nice upper half of the body though
She does look to have gained a little. Shes always been bottom heavy though so maybe its an unflattering outfit?
I don’t think she’s put on any weight. She looks good!
Just look like horrible jeans to me.
Hey Thunder Thighs get the Skinny Jeans Off!
i dun get it. how come when celebs gain weight, their body looks bigger but face remains small??
yes, maybe, but i think it looks good on her..
hey can you post pics of claire danes in red bikini, she looks really thin!
To much Ben and Jerry’s will go straight to your thunder thighs miss
when will people realise that even when some women exercise and eat healthily they still look curvy - she is HEALTHY goddamn it not an flamin anorexic. get over it all you ‘thunder thighs’ commenters
Well, the men in the pictures don’t seem to be repulsed whatsoever by her size. I read where a male poster once said on another forum “A size 0 means 0 appeal to most men.”
thats Rocci from 106 and park on BET! RiRi actually looks thinner.. look at her face and neck. she’s thinner.
that girl next to her is much prettier and good looking
well i’d rather be ana then have those thighs, eww they are rude lookin
I think she looks about the same. She’s always been curvy. She pulls it off really well though. Also,I think the girl next to her has great legs.
Lets face it, those are not acceptable thighs for a dieter! Lets hope she is not dieting. That body is atrocious.
I don’t think she’s curvy- when I think curvy, I think Jessica Rabbit-ish. Maybe not as exagerated, but still. She’s more “thick” (and not fat!)
Yeah, people on here may like her for whatever reason, but I’m kinda over her since I discovered that she completely jacked Fefe Dobson’s style from about 4-5 years ago. And she does not look as fit as she did in “Umbrella”- her stomach’s looking a little bloated, as are her thighs. She’s still pretty though.
LOL Gigi- No, that’s Rihanna. Rosci has longer hair/extensions, and she’s ALWAYS thin.
She looks fine. Nice curvy body (great hips). I‘m tired of size 0 celebz.
For some reason, I think she looks slimmer in these photos. Short dresses seems to highlight her large legs. She’s a big girl and there’s something about her style that says, “So what?” Good for her confidence!
“a size 0 means zero appeal to men” that was just unnecessary their are people on here who are a size 0,i’ve heard more then one person say they where a 0 on this board.
whatever a zero beats being fat sweat!
she looks gross
i think she looks amazing, and some of u*cough so unappealing* are JEALOUS….she is stunning and her style is amazing and she is beautiful…any man would take a woman of her size over anyone that’s probaly a size 0
She can only appeal to obese men like Joe D. and other fatties dreaming of getting into size 0 dress. Rihanna should drop at least 30lb or quit her music career and disappear from the scene for good.
OMG, She is so fat. Gross!!! Only fat ppl can say she is OK…
OMG, she is so fat. Gross!!! Only fat ppl can think its Ok.
She always had very chunky legs. Very unattractive, bottom-heavy pear.
Thunderthigh indeed! I’ve always disliked her figure.
looks the same to me, not a size two.
not everyone should wear skinny jeans
She looks like she lost weight in some pictures of her wearing a bright pink “bandage” skirt and black tank on some other websites so I would say, “no way” to that.
Not everyone should be a size 0, 2 or 4. They’d be ill and some are.
b.SL- I don’t know why you were “LOL”-ing. But, I’m pretty sure Gigi was referring to the girl to the right of Rihanna. That is most definitely Rocsi. Fool!
OMG, she is so fat. Gross!!! Only fat ppl can think its Ok to be this big.
she has always been bigger in the leg area. Wrong pants will make your thighs look huge *sigh*…i have the same problem!
I think she looks fabulous. I love her shoes. She has a nice figure.
patootie, that was more ass-ine than cute ANYTHING. The post is about Rihanna. So why bring up 106 girl?
I may have made a mistake, but you’re a nasty broad with a bad attitude. And for what? Are you Rihanna? Fefe Dobson STILL did it first.
fattie - you are being hypocritical in what you said….
she is gorgeous but i liked her hair a little longer
She is a naturally curvy girl and carries slightly more weight in the hip area. She has a sexy figure and I think this is why she can pull off the masculine hair style. Thumbs up

it deffinetely looks like she gained weight. stay away from skinny jeans when you gain weight ppl! &my personal opinion is that the girl behind her with the red shoes looks better than her.
i think she looks hideous! no style, no appeal whatsoever.
hey, you’re a celebrity, you got to stand out somehow, right?
wrong.
loose 30 pounds Ri Ri. and get a better stylist.
People, she’s pearshaped…Do you realize if she tries to lose weight that her upper body will get too thin and bony looking? It’s very hard for pearshaped woman to maintain a slim figure without getting bony on top. She looks healthy and great!…jeez, give her some credit!
She looks great, weight gain or not.
I spend 4.5 hours working out and 5 hours of cardio a week, have a body fat % of 21, and always watch what I eat- and I still think she looks hot.
I’d hit it.
she looks the same. I love the jeans that the girl next to her in the first picture is wearing.
fark she has the worst dress taste.
I NEED HER SHOES!
GucciChick I find you post insulting. Just because I weight 250lb you shouldn’t assume I’m “obese” person. While reading the old posts you managed to skip over my height (6 ft 11) and the fact that I still play basketball 10-15h a week.
Rihanna is musician and she should not disappear from the scene because she has curvy body or a few pounds extra. That is just crazy.
u people are warped! rihanna is jus normal! plain old normal. by the size zero doesn’t exist because zero is nothing so you wouldn’t exist yourself.
well regardless of if a zero exists they refer to the smallest size as a zero in a lot of brands.
Hmm looking at her, and the girl next to her. I’d say she’s a size 6. I wear a 6 and she and I look the same size. Her friend must be in a 0 or 2.
So if you are all calling her fat, then I must be fat too. I think I’m gonna go puke up my dinner now. Thanks for your contributions to my body image.
The shorter she cuts her hair the more I like her. I do not think short hair makes you any classier, it is just nice to see a woman not rely on her hair for confidence. Whether you think she is fat or not, she is still prettier, stronger, more confident, and more talented than you. And, this is a fact.
I think the jeans are just really unflattering on her - she needs something more straight/bootcut and less skinny-ish to flatter her figure. Also the scarf looks emo-kid and inexpensive (c’mon anyone can do better than Assley Simpson-Wankz).
she will always be fighting the thunder thighs-she is lucky she has a beautiful unusual face which distracts. and what’s up with the Che Guevara scarf? ridiculous!
Humm hell no!! she’s rather muscular than gaining
fantastically put together; she’s attractive and slender. i would hit it.
meta is a b*tch
jodi has no fashion sense
they both look cute-minus her friends wack ed hardy hat=eww
she can’t be size 2. no way. even I’m not that big and I’m size 4. I’d say she’s 6.
she is a gross fat pig and what on earth would make her stronger then me #1. i just can’t see how you can say that.
Joe D. I suggest you exercise your fat ass before it’s too late, 250lb can’t be healthy weight. People like you need help! You probably buy clothes in three sizes: Extra Large, Jumbo, and Oh-My-God-It’s-Coming-Towards-Us… Lose 100lb! Btw Rihanna looks huge…
Funnily enough, I think she looks slimmer here than in any other candid photos I’ve seen of her. I mean, cummon, the girl is a classic pear wearing an unfitted white shirt and skinny jeans- she’s got a lot working against her. But I think she’s pretty svelte in these pics. It’s really just her hairdo that needs to be critized (she does not have the fine features required for a pixie cut, the short hair just makes her look like a man- she looked best with the wavy bob she rocked in the “Umbrella” video.) Just my 2 cents.
I may be one but I’m not wrong in what I said, and I definitely agree with whoever said that if Britney was this size everyone would be criticising her no end, so how is Rihanna special somehow?
She may be ‘normal’ to some people (I disagree I think she’s chubby) but who wants to see normal celebrities? I certainly wouldn’t aspire to look like that.
She’s always been fat!Her face is nice but her body is horible!
She looks about the same to me. My guess is that her genetics are far from what she is even maintaining now. I think she’s prone to be bigger and heavier than her industry prefers and she’s working hard to be even where she’s at.
GucciChick, Who Do You Think You Are?
HOLEY SH*T I JUST READ THE JOE D> AND GUCCICHICK COMMENTS - WHILE I THNK JOE D IS HARSH ON THIN CELEBS (and i am into slimness) GUCCICHICK ISN’T 100LBS A BIT MUCH TO LOSE- joe d. is a man and really no one asked you how much he should weigh!
Joe d are you really 6′11″ or was that a typo for 5′11″?
Hate her hair. Sometimes I think her face is really pretty and other times I think it looks strange.
Her figure looks okay. I would not call her fat at all. She just looks curvy to me.
WOW, I wish it was a typo. I’m really 6’11” and trust me its not much fun being this tall. When I was 15 I was already 6’5” and as teenager I had problems accepting my height. I feel sympathetic for short/tall, skinny/fat, but we all know being too skinny/fat is definitely not healthy. I’m not against slimness (I’m quite slim myself) but some celebs go too far. I apologize if my some of my old comments were a little bit harsh.
Joe D, Fat people dig their graves with their teeth!!! Read your comments before posting… Oh, sorry I forgot; you got a weight problem… hurry up n eat somethin.
Her song Umbrella rocks! how come she doesn’t look bad in the vid with the silver paint on her?
I’m WOW- and wow you are tall Joe D.! I’m glad you can accept it now, of course when you where young it was really awkward anything that is different from the norm is awkward. anyways you must be a great basketball player
but GucciChick if he loses 100 lbs you realise that will put him at a BMI of 15.3 way low thats what mine was at 100lbs for 5′8″ its very unhealthy!!
OMG, GucciChick stop it!
GucciChick stop posting BS comments!!!!!
Come oooon ppl, I just say what I think.
Who cares what size she is, she looks amazing! And for the people who say she is big or has looked big in the past you all are clinically insane! The pressure to be “skinny” is ridiculous, not everyones body is meant to be thin, and when they aren’t you automatically say they’re ugly or fat. How sick.
Guccichick, you probably can’t even afford a really gucci first of, and you seem like a miserable person. Why don’t you look up BMI, let me spell it out for you: Body Mass Index, and see what a good weight for someone who is 6′11′’ is. 250 is not a lot for someone that tall. I feel like someone should give you a book to read or something because you obviously have way to much time on your hand to be judging people who are way more beautiful inside and out than you are. The things that come out of your mouth are poison. I wish there was a mute button for people like you, or some place where we could lock you up. It is one thing to have an opinion and another to be cruel. You have definitely crossed the line. Did you parents give you no love? Do you have no friends? I am just wondering what it takes for a person to be so evil and obnoxious? There should be training schools ( like they have for pets) for people like you. Maybe shock collars to…
Caley, I totally agree with you!
some of you are plain jealous…rhianna is gorgeous and has a 100X better body than those other people they post
