Gifts for Your Friend Who Thinks She's Rihanna
LatestIs your friend the kind of girl who wears a rings above her knuckle, takes pictures of herself smoking weed, wears a bra as a shirt but also wears shirts without bras? Does she very carefully craft a look that says, “I don’t give a fuck” but in reality gives quit a few fucks? Do chains and whips excite her? Answer yes to one or more of these questions? Then your friend thinks she’s Rihanna and we have some holiday gift suggestions!
Knucklecase iPhone Case
Rihanna’s cellphone case of choice is available for iPhones 4, 4s, and 5. Be warned: They will confiscate this from you at airport security, so make sure it’s in a suitcase. $99 [Knucklecase]
MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick
Even if this weren’t Rihanna’s favorite red (and it is), the shade that “made MAC famous” should be considered a staple in any vamp’s makeup collection. $15 [MAC]
Custom Nameplate Hoop Earrings
When it comes to gift-giving, you can’t get more personal than personalized items. Melody Ehsani will customize hoop earrings—bamboo or plain (but, duh, you have to get bamboo!)—in your choice of four different fonts. Make sure you get gold! $48 [Melody Ehsani]
Skull Print Dress by Jeremy Scott for Adidas
From sunglasses to sneakers to hoodies to sequined jerseys, Jeremy Scott is one of Rihanna’s favorite designers. She’s particularly been in love with his collection for Adidas, and this skull print sweater dress that re-imagines the Adidas leaf as a pot leaf seems like it would be right up her alley. No bra required. $261.50 [Far Fetch]
Josephine Bullet Bra
Rihann wore this leopard print bullet bra during one of her now infamous 777 shows (you know, the tour she took 200 captive music journalists on). It’s something of a more accessible sendup to the Gaultier cone bras that Madonna wore for her Blond Ambition tour. $75 [What Katie Did]
Curved Brow Sunglasses
You can’t pretend to be famous without shades. $24 [Oak]
Cheetah Lotus Umbrella
As suggested by Rooo sez BISH PLZ, anyone who thinks they’re Rihanna really ought to have an umbrella, ella, ella. And beyond that, it’s just a really practical gift for anyone. $39 [Urban Outfitters]
True to Platform Bootie in Abstract Art
Rihanna leans toward loud, platform wedges and “shooties” (shoe/boot). Obviously, the shit that Ri Ri wears probably costs thousands of dollars. Do you like your flakey friend who lives in a fantasy world where she thinks she’s a famous person that much? Probably not. These shoes are way more affordable. $59.99 [Mod Cloth]
Minx Professional for Kimmie Kyees
Kimmie Kyees, Rihanna’s nail artist, designed a line of nail decals for Minx that range from animal prints to color blocking to psychedelic swirls. £9.91 [Beauty Cow]
Love Rings
Rihanna is all about her rings, and one that she wears a lot is her Sydney Evan Love ring from Thomas Laine, and while it’s gorgeous, it’s like $900. But there are some decent substitutes that are way more affordable. Clockwise from right: Ariella Collection ‘Messages Love’ Script Ring, $28 [Nordstrom]; L-O-V-E four-ring set, $62 [Melody Ehsani]; Love Knuckle Ring, $10 [Etsy]
Jules Smith Chained to You Ring
Obviously, you’re going to need a multi-finger ring option for the other hand. $75 [Jules Smith]
Wahl 79524-2501 Chrome Pro 24-Piece Haircut Kit
These clippers will really come in handy when your friend decides to do that Skrillex thing. $26.97 [Amazon]
Leather and Ice Whip
Because chains and whips excite her! $46 [Babeland]
