Celeb Style: Rihanna

When we need a wardrobe pick-me-up, nothing quite does it like street style pics of our favorite celebs. But what's a fashionista to do to achieve these looks--on a budget? It was this question that spurred us to create our Celeb Style series, where we source pieces to match those worn by the style stars you love. Look for these sales twice every month, and you'll find the covetable looks you've spotted on fashion's elite--at the super-privileged ideeli prices you know and love.

From her first days on the scene with "Pon de Replay" (still a total jam, by the way) to her killer dance moves to her ties to kings of hip-hop Drake, Eminem, and Kanye West, it's no wonder that Rihanna is the girl all of us kind of want to be. We dance to her songs while we're getting ready, we're obsessed with her street style that doesn't differ so much from her on-stage looks, and we even covet the way she makes fiery red hair look totally do-able! In this week's Celeb Style sale, we're featuring an ensemble that, to the naked eye, might seem simple, but Rihanna proves the devil is in the details. And we always say, it takes a true fashionista to make even the most basic outfit look killer chic. A classic pea coat is punched up with a vibrant scarf. Her jeans are waxed denim, the tee, heathered grey instead of standard white, and the boots, covered in buckles and straps give an edgy, downtown vibe. Throw a bold bag and blinging hoops in the mix, and RiRi's look is effortlessly undone.

Looking through the Barbadian beauty's street style pics we found ourselves ultra-inspired to vamp up our daily wardrobe. If you're as obsessed with RiRi as we are, join us tomorrow for our weekly ideelTALK style chat, where we dissect the best ways to integrate her avant-garde extras into your day-to-day uniform.

Join the conversation on Twitter (twitter.com/ideeli) using the hashtag #ideelTALK at 3pm EST tomorrow 12/20 and we'll dissect our fave Rihanna moments from music videos, the red carpet, and as she turns the streets into her own personal catwalk.

Added bonus: Three lucky #ideelTALK tweeters will be granted First Row access, and thus an early, exclusive look at our daily sales starting tomorrow. Let the tweeting begin!

Pick of the Day: Dallin Chase

Our affinity for mannish tailoring knows no bounds (you're talking to huge fans of Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich here). There's nothing like men's-style trousers, suits, and Oxford shirts to make you feel both empowered and elegant. It's why we naturally gravitated to Dallin Chase's cool Vintage blazer. The label, which has been featured in all the places that matter around the stylesphere (ELLE, Lucky, Rihanna's wardrobe), has a keen way of mixing unexpected details with classic textures and fabrics. In this case, we were struck by the jacket's contrasting notched lapel and boyfriend silhouette, not to mention its soft and summer-friendly 100% cotton outer shell. Effortless and versatile, it's easy to see why Dallin chase is turning heads and getting insider raves. Get it here!

Now we need your help to select a winner. We want you to vote for the star who may have influenced your style, and even encouraged you to shop.  So if you started craving a pair of Louis Vuitton bunny ears after Madge was spotted with them, or if you worship Rihanna's evolving sense of style, vote below!  If you disagree with our picks, feel free to type in your own celebrity nomination in the space provided on our poll.

Rihanna Storms NYC

This week Rihanna is in NYC to promote her new CD. Yesterday the "Rated R" singer signed copies of her latest release at Best Buy in Union Square. This morning, the singer joined the perky folks at "Good Morning America" sans pants for a brief performance in Time Square.

PS: We discovered Rihanna does have a new tattoo, it is a small gun. We are thrilled that the tattoo she sported earlier this week was just a temp. Whew....

Freshly Tattooed Rihanna In Zac Posen 

Rihanna is quickly becoming a major style icon. The Zac Posen number she wore at the American Music Awards was structured, yet feminine and on Rihanna, totally spot on. But we wondered how much dermablend it took to conceal her new  tattoo (shown below).  Love the dress, hate the tattoos or vice versa? Share your comments below. We just hope she did not get makeup stains on the inside of the laser cut gown shown above.
