Lighten Up, It’s Just Fashion

Lesbian rumors about Rihanna have almost been around since her debut, but they've been stirring around a bit more since a vacation with Katy Perry and an "outing" from Wendy Williams. Now, the "Umbrella" singer's sexuality is being questioned again after her decision to butch it up for New York's 2009 MET Costume Institute Gala.

Aside from a white dress shirt, Rihanna rocked all black–a jacket with puffed sleeves, a bowtie, gloves and cropped pants. Her hair was slicked to one side, with streaks of blonde in her bangs. For a bit of a feminine touch, she complimented the look with some heels.

I can understand how some people could consider this a little dyke-tastic, given that it calls to mind JD Samson from Le Tigre. But if RiRi gets down like that, this would be some serious lezzie chic!

Do you think it's right for the media to label Rihanna as a lesbian just because of her fashion decisions? I mean, I think there are easier targets out there… though I'm not mentioning names.

More importantly, how accurately do you think you could predict someone's sexuality just from the way they dress? We may need to start a "Who Wore It Gayer" feature here to investigate such matters.
