Rihanna Gets Fashionable For Charity

posted by Sista on November 20th, 2008 at 1:01 am

Check out Rihanna’s new commercial for Gucci. Creative director for the company, Frida Giannini, has said, “I wanted Rihanna on board with this project because she’s so young, so modern, and so iconic.” Rihanna adds, “I have always been a fan of the Gucci brand and the products- especially their handbags. But most of all, I’m very very intrigued by what they’re doing with UNICEF. As an artist, I feel like it’s our duty to make the world a better place if we can. I’m blown away by what UNICEF has been able to accomplish in Africa with the money that Gucci has donated to them. I’m very fortunate to be part of this wonderful collaboration.” 25% of all handbag proceeds from the “Tattoo Heart Collection” will benefit UNICEF.

You can view the commercial for this campaign below, as well as photos from the various Gucci events Rihanna attended last night in support of this campaign.

  1. I’m a fan of Gucci handbags too, but not feeling the Tattoo Heart collection, but it is for a good cause.
    I do believe CB has a similar hand tatt…ahh young love. Love the soft purple on Rih :brownsista:

  2. Beautiful! This girl is just too fly!!

  3. RIRI is doing the damn thing. I love the lavander dress she look really good.

  4. i love that purple dress n the tat but she needs 2 stop with the tats i know they can get addictive if u r not careful.

  5. I think she is really pretty but I think she needs to stop with the tattoos as well. The smart thing about her is that she puts them in places where she can still wear an evening gown and look nice. But enough with tattoos already it is not cute.

  6. I Love Rihanna, She looks Fabulous in the red dress. :brownsista:

  7. I agree with most of you on the tattoo thing. She is such an elegant woman and the tattoos are really taking from her. If she keeps doing that she may not get these kinds of opportunities any more. Rihanna looked great in the commercial but it was a bit boring. Hope that commercial is not this long on TV.

  8. LOVE HER SHES SO MUCH BETTER THAN BEYONCE

  9. Love it, and I love her tattoos! Whatever IT is, it’s in the palm of her hand.

  10. This chick can dress her butt off ! :thumbsup: She may not have the best singing voice but when it comes to dressing she is the winner hands down :bowdown: She looks great in that lavendar dress !

  11. yes rihanna! of course this girl looks fly! she looked good i just wished they wouldnt kept reshowing her like that…the first time was enough :lol: :thumbsup:

  12. She definitley brings something new and different to the table. no one can touch her. She is tooo fly!

  13. She looks really good in the Lavender dress. The commercial was a little boring, she looked good. But I like the picture with the handbag better. I hope she’s feeling better now, she got sick on stage I think last week.

  14. Nice commercial. I like the idea of her swinging, it elongates her already long legs. Very classy- Rihanna is very beautiful.

  15. Very beautiful, poised, and stylish. I’m in favor of her ever evolving image.

    And girlfriend is working that lavendar dress…I love it!!!

  16. These outfits are gorgeous. Rihanna wears them very well. Very fashionable for a good cause :thumbsup:

  17. Yes, Rihanna is one of the most beautiful women of the world. He have othres like Beyonce, Ciana, Kelly, Britney, Brand, Taylor Swift, and so on, but Rihanna is the most sexy, hot and elegant. She looks good all picutures, in the street, ina astudio and shows. Only Rihanna survive beyonce`phenomene. After 2003, with Beyonce arrived solo, she kill J. Lo, Amerie, Ashanty, Mariah Carey, and others. Rihanna is a winner that is in the same place of Beyonce and can to be the nº 1. I think sh´s the nº 1 today. The sucess of Sasha Fierce will be little and even lauching new CD of Britney. And next year the new Rihanna`album will destroy all. The single Rehab is superior If y were a boy or single ladie. But it`s a single, not a album. I love Rihanna style but Beyonce is also a great woman and singer. Go Rihanna. in Europe you are the absolutly queen.

  18. Only 25% though?? Gucci can most definitely afford to donate more than half. Hmmpph!

    The ad pix are nice but they can keep the commercial….

    Miss Rihanna looks so beautiful!
    When you’re as young as she is and you want to do something… you think you’re grown and end up doing whateva it is you’ve planned to do but I really wish she’d pause on all that tatting. :roll:

  19. YASHIEY

    Tomy

    it only takes on person…..then it gets crazy…please dont mention beyonce in a rihanna post and the same in a beyonce post unless its positive because its really starting to get annoying

  20. Rihanna looks lovely. :bowdown: Gucci made a great choice.

  21. Dark Sista Is expecting twins Again

    Rihanna is the truth :bowdown: Gucci knows it, and i know it, great commercial this girl knows how to show expression with her face, look at the sadness at 1:27 Got chills
    :thumbsup: :brownsista: Go on little thing, love the red dress, She is a killer :thumbsup:

  22. That’s how fierce looks :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: loves it!!!! Don’t mind much the tattoo…. just let it get any bigger…. the meaning behind the tattoo…. it’s a tribal she got in New Zealand and it represents strength and love.

  23. Gorgeous :brownsista: I even like the purple eye shadow. :hifive:

  24. Go RiRi!!!!

  25. Beyonce did not kill Mariah, Remember The Emancaiptatipon of Mimi

    She did notkill Jlo also her last2 english albums flopped but her Spanish album diddnt

    Shes married with kids now

    Give props where due considering she both copied them

  26. Rihanna looks HOT!!!!! I love the red dress…. And the eyeshadow… Oh I love it… :thumbsup:

    The ad was kinda long, but I like it…

    And the bag, I like it. I may make a purchase if they don’t break the bank…

  27. Ok… So that bag will definately break the bank, maybe I will just get the purse…. The bag that she advertises is over 2 grand…. I can’t afford that at the moment….. Yeah maybe I will stick to the purse that is more in my price range…

  28. WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED SOMEONE HAD TO DO THE COMPARISON OF BEY AND RIRI – GET OVER THAT S&*% PEOPLE PLEASE. ENOUGH ALREADY. THAT’S GETTING OLD REAL FAST. THESE LADIES ARE NOT IN COMPETITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  29. I love the fact that a little girl from the Caribbean is getting such recognition for all that she’s doing. Not every day that happens and I am proud to say that I am also from the Caribe. Thank you so much Rihanna, for so much. But most of all, for putting us on the map.

    On another note, you rock ALL those ensembles!! You are the best! And one little bit of advice: try your best to keep your individuality. Please!

    Keep up the great work. And continue with your charities; when you give, you get. That’s the karma of it all.

  30. ri ri is a great representation for the gucci campaign. Go rihanna do your thing.

  31. she got balance too i would fall flat on my behind

  32. Rihanna’s style is kool but her girl from Barbados, Singer Shontelle, is killing it with the fashion as well. I think her and Rihanna should have a Caribbean fashion show in the states. I would definitely attend!! I really can’t wait to see Shontelle rock some fly fashions on the Ecko float at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!! Hotness! :thumbsup:

  33. haha like the comparison with riri and B, gotta say new artist shontelle is really gettin in there. think she’ll take over the industry like rihanna status in a bit!
