Rihanna Forever: Check Out A Pic Of Her Wax Figure Here!

It's official: Rihanna has permanently cemented herself into pop culture history.

(Or, at least she waxed herself anyways.)

Madame Tussaud revealed the singer's waxy twin at their Washington D.C. location Tuesday morning and boy does it look really very much like RiRi! I mean, they even got the hair right. (Although I think it would have been way more cooler of they'd decided to showcase her recent red locks instead of the blonde which she ditched eons ago.) The statue, which features RiRi dressed in an all black outfit that I'd give my left kidney to have, is modeled after the outfit she wore to the Balmain show during Paris Fashion Week last October.

What does RiRi think of her statue? According to her Twitter account, she loves it and made it her newest profile picture.

In other non-waxy related RiRi news, the starlet recently made fun of her extremely large forehead by tweeting this pic of a curling burn she just gave herself. I must say, I laughed for about 10 minutes after looking at it...hilarious!

Do you love Rihanna's new wax figure, Glamazons? And don't you think it's funny that she twitpic'd herself with a burnt forehead?! (Hopefully her hairstylist Ursula Stephen had nothing to do with that hahahaha)

Today in Photoshop: Rihanna's Curves Go Missing on Cover of ELLE Magazine

In case you weren't aware, Rihanna loves her curves. The envelope-pushing fashionista was thrilled to see models flaunt their voluptuous figures on Paris runways (namely, Jean Paul Gaultier) according to her interview for the cover of Elle Magazine. 

“I went to a Jean Paul Gaultier show, and I saw girls who are thicker than me, beautiful and voluptuous and different ethnicities. That made me so excited. I thought, Okay, I can work that, for sure,” Rihanna said.

Ironically, Rih's own curves seem to be missing from her Elle Magazine cover (waist? hips? boobs?). Critics are accusing Elle of being heavy-handed with airbrushing. Do you agree?

I love Rih's shape, in all it's curvy glory, and prefer to see it genuinely represented in editorial...especially, since Rihanna is vocal within the article about diversity in Fashion.

But...I'm still going crazy over that gorgeous purple and gold Balmain dress from the Fall 2010 runway in addition to the other glamazing Elle Magazine-worthy get-ups she rocks in the cover story. Check the shots, photographed by Tom Munro, below:

Love that leopard Lanvin trench! It seems the shoot is all leopard print (my favorite pattern, LOL). Hotness! Also, here's the runway shot and cover...I NEED that dress.

Whether she's draped in Balmain, Lanvin or one of her favorite designers, Alexandre Vauthier, Rihanna's curves bring all the boys to the yard. And one boy, in particular, Matt Kemp gets a sweet shoutout in the Elle Magazine article. 

As for ex Chris Brown, Rih tells Elle that she either wanted to "be with him again or get over it." Uh...there were options? I'll leave that for you guys to discuss...

What do you think of the cover? Does it look airbrushed? How much do you love Rih's fashion? And umm...someone explain that Chris Brown comment.

Paris Fashion Week: Balmain Channels Prince's Purple Rain

Asking Balmain to get rid of strong shoulders is like telling Burberry to abandon trench coats.

So to no one's surprise, Balmain designer, Christophe Decarnin, sent an army of strong-shouldered models down the runway for the presentation yesterday. The fresh spin? Opulent fabrics that signaled a move toward decadence and luxury.

Channeling Louis XVI and Prince's Purple "Reign," as Style.com so brilliantly pointed out, Decarnin designed a line of brocade prints, fur, metallic lame and fringe that embodies both royalty and revelry.

Unfortunately, however, the silhouettes offered no surprise with strong-shouldered, short dresses almost identical to those shown during previous seasons. The aversion to change won't bother everyone though. There are plenty of revealing dresses and gowns Beyonce and Rihanna will be happy to wear on the red carpet.

And, fittingly, there's quite a few brocade blazers, slim pants and sheer blouses that could outfit Prince, whose hits provided the soundtrack for the runway show.

Check out the collection below. Do you love it?

Kisses,
