Rihanna's Barely There Dress: Can't Be Stylish 'If You Don't Take Risks'

Pop star Rihanna is known for both her beauty and fashion sense.

She combined the two Monday night at the CFDA Awards by wearing a dress that, well, couldn’t cover what even the skimpiest outfits manage to cover.

Never one to approach a red-carpet moment with safety or timidity in mind, Rihanna turned up at the CFDA Awards Monday night in a shimmering, ultra-sheer fishnet gown that left little to the imagination. Crafted by her longtime costume designer Adam Selman, the gown and its matching headwrap featured more than 216,000 Swarovski crystals (fitting, given that the crystal house is a major sponsor of the awards), as well as a pink mink stole the singer used for the occasional strategic placement.

Rihanna arrived to receive the group’s Style Icon award, and she said via the red carpet that, “You will never be stylish if you don’t take risks.”
