It’s been approximately 20 years since Jean Paul Gaultier “launched” his rocket cone bra for Madonna’s Blonde Ambition tour, so perhaps it was time for a rehash. For whatever reason, the cone bra featured prominently in Jean-Paul Gaultier’s Spring 2010 ready to wear collection in Paris last week. He did it up in style, too, with wasp-waisted silhouettes complete with girdles and garters.

The pointy bras were a central feature in overalls that were made like a bustier on top. It also appeared in a white tux, and a stretchy peach corset-suspenders combination. All 40 of Gaultier’s models marched out in a lingerie collection that included yet more cone-bras, stockings, corsets, and French knickers. Of course, being Jean-Paul Gaultier we would only have been shocked at prim, buttoned up “career separates” that annihilated rather than celebrated the female form.

Rihanna’s on-tour faves—Little Rooms and Skinny.

Rihanna left for her tour from JFK in New York wearing rings from the two brands, and hasn’t taken them off since!  Like an homage to her own gun tattoo, Rihanna has been photographed wearing Little Rooms’ Gun Frame ring constantly.  The Double Floating ring from Skinny is always close at hand as well, as both these pieces have become staples in Rihanna’s wardrobe while she tours Europe.

While Rihanna may have been hiding under her umbrella and taking a breather from the music scene ever since the Chris Brown fiasco, she hasn’t lost the following of her faithful fans… and her fellow fashionistas! A strong girl like Ri-Ri isn’t one to let a scandal get her down for long, and her eclectic and edgy style hasn’t suffered any despite her tiny break from the spotlight. From LA to NYC and beyond, she’s partied it up with pals in metallic leggings, relaxed spa-style in flowing printed dresses, rooted for the Lakers courtside in funky sneaker heels, and embraced her inner rocker-chick with moto jackets and a buzzed hairstyle. The Essence blog tracks her fashionable footsteps over the recent months as she enjoys the single life and gets ready to embrace the limelight yet again! Head over to take a look at the slideshow!

Tuesday evening, Barbadian singing sensation Rihanna showed up on the red carpet at the Costume Institute Gala in New York City. The event took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Also sitting at the same table with Rihanna were Marc Jacobs, Madonna, Victoria Beckham, and Stella McCartney.

But Rihanna had a surprise for everyone: she performed two songs with the night’s featured entertainer Kanye West. The duet was apparently a request by West himself, and the request was approved by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who was in charge of the evening’s festivities.
When the gala at the Met was over, Rihanna was seen at the Monkey Bar, venue of a party given by Marc Jacobs, chatting with young actress Blake Lively, star of the TV hit Gossip Girls. Rihanna also attended a party at Bungalow 8 hosted by Harvey Weinstein along with some girlfriends.

Even before the gala Tuesday night, Rihanna had already had a busy day. She was seen leaving her hotel near Gramercy Park in a bold yellow jacket that was studded with rhinestones, and she was also spotted having lunch in SoHo at Bar 89. The singer also recently scored four nominations for the 2009 Urban Music awards in the categories “Best Female Act,” “Artist of the Year,” “Best Music Video” (for the single Rehab), and “Best R&B Act.”

R&B singer Rihanna and her allegedly violent boyfriend Chris Brown have been apart from each other in recent days, but a source told Us Weekly that the two have not broken up. “They are taking a break,” the source said.

The break comes after a late February reconciliation between the two after Brown allegedly assaulted Rihanna after a pre-Grammy Award party. He is to be arraigned on two felony charges April 6 after being accused of punching her in the face, and biting her finger and ear. The case has drawn widespread attention, not only to Rihanna and Brown, but also to the subject of domestic violence.

While Rihanna’s mother and friends are urging her to break up with Brown, the singer is determined to rehabilitate his public image. She is convinced that he has learned his lesson and is ready to change. She recently punctuated her support for Brown by recently recording a “very, very emotional” duet with Brown.
