Rihanna Wore “I Hate Rihanna” T-Shirt On the Last Day Of Her 20s
Rihanna said goodbye to her 20s with a bold fashion choice.
On Monday, the musician, fashion designer, beauty mogul and philanthropist donned an oversized T-shirt emblazoned with the words, “I hate Rihanna”; underneath the bold statement, the shirt warned, “Don’t trust anyone under 30.” Rihanna posted a photo of her wearing the top as a dress, lampshade style, on her Instagram Story on Monday, captioning it with a side-eye emoji and “last day to make a bad decision and blame it on my 20’s.”
For the record, the tongue-in-cheek tee wasn’t a birthday exclusive made by Rihanna herself in a fit of self-loathing. As People discovered, the shirt can be found in the gift shop of the Red Bull Arts New York gallery space. According to the program’s website, the one-size-fits-all $130 garment was designed by Norwegian artist Bjarne Melgaard and “is devoted to building solidarity between older men of means against the emotional and financial exploitation perpetrated by the young.” Of course, the T-shirt is currently sold out.
After ending the last decade with a bang, the Fenty Beauty founder will likely continue to serve up major looks throughout her 30s. To refresh your memory, in the last few months alone, Rihanna has sported $1,340 crystal-dotted Gucci socks with pointy mules and tried out the “root beer hair” trend. She also powered through feeling “sick af” during the holidays to pose in a glamorous red gown, red lipstick, and matching red strappy heels. And, on this fine Tuesday, may we never forget the time Rihanna inspired us all to bring our Tuesdays to new heights by trying on a bright blue custom Molly Goddard gown with sporty sneakers and futuristic sunglasses, and labeling the OTT getup “casual.”
