Feb 28 | by Natasha

Rihanna's still in London living it up. She's prepping for an upcoming tv appearance on the "Jonathan Ross" show and also just shot for ESQUIRE UK. Pics inside...

Blondie Rih Rih was spotted leaving her Central London hotel today, wooly Prada coat in hand, as she stopped to say hi to fans and hit up the Music Bank:

She tapped into her Euro wardrobe in ripped jeans, a ripped watercolor tee, visor, and hi-top sneakers.

The "We Found Love" singer tweeted that she recently sexed it up for her ESQUIRE UK cover shoot. And offered up a sneak peek to her followers:

She loves that visor doesn't she...

Im a Photographer and Ive

Im a Photographer and Ive been a Photographer for years the lighting thing is WRONG! people who are originally light toned to begin with will appear light in cam,OBVIOUSLY!..Alek wek still looks dark in any bright lighting,so does wesley snipes and others.. the brighter the better when it comes to lighting because it brings out your true tones.Personal preference. WE HUMANS ALSO DONT TAKE PICS IN THE DARK! Ive seen pics where its a group photo and the light people appeared pale and darker toned people still appear darker toned. Its a basic concept. Dark skin will appear dark skkin regardless, light skin will appear light on cam regardless! Lighting doesnt change skintone, if that were the case wesley snipes and the rest of black celebrities would be looking caucasian. please dont say "lighting" it is not lighting! Pale people will appear pale on cam, dark skinned people will appear dark. lighting only brings out the true tones. White or Light skin shows out better in front of the camera then dark skin. It has to do with reflection of light. White or light skin reflect light 100 fold better then dark skin (which absorbs it). And if you know anything about cameras u know the object that is being captured by the camera has to reflect the light projected unto it in order to be caught by the camera lens. There are no rules to makeup.Nothing called "too".I dislike trolls that try to tell folks how to wear their liner,foundation,blush,etc.Everyone has their own makeup style.Many light people tend to go light/lighter or mix it with a luminzer to make themselves brighter/radiant/porcelin like.An example of this would be dita von teese,who stays out the sun to maintain her light skintone and wears light foundation.Others prefer to be darker and darken in the sun/use bronzer all over their skintone.

Attention! Calling all Rih's

Attention! Calling all Rih's fans. Did she part ways w/ a stylish that she had when she rocked the blck hair? I clearly remember about 3yrs ago before THE INCIDENT w/ Chris Brown her hair and fashion was always so on point. It's not like her fashion in bad now but back then it was soo much better! Enough w/ the skin thing. Clearly she is a light skin girl people in her family are all skin tones from very light to dark. Why are we still talking about people's skin tone in this date and time? I know only insecure people talk about such things. She is a cute Black girl move on. Maybe this will help some of you. When people who are Rih's skin tone put on hair that blond it makes them appear a tad lighter than they really are. I hope she changes the hair color ASAP

Did anyone say anything about

Did anyone say anything about the level of her lightness?? you sound so ridiculous trying to explain that she's average light. What the heck does that mean? I have never heard anyone referring to someone as "average light". Some people truly have color issues on here and like to project it off on others.

When will her 15 minutes be

When will her 15 minutes be up? LOL! When trying to use a phrase you CLEARLY don't understand goes WRONG. Reality Stars... fall under the 15 minutes of fame category, Random ppl who get famous off of doing random things fall under that category. But a singer/model who's been doing her thing for almost 7 years now?! DOES NOT! Idc how much you dislike her, 1 thing you won't do is discredit her! Ps. If you're THAT tired of her, why did you open up the article? Huh? Oh ok... People on here swear they can't stand certain artist, but then again you READ every blog you come across about them? No sense. GET YO LIFE!

Her grandma on father's side

Her grandma on father's side is white. Her dad is half white. Even back in Barbados she was hella light. She gets darker in the summer like most light skinned people. Her brother the one after her is just as light as well as all of her father's kids. They are light Skinned people and she takes from that side of the family. Look at her eyes. There's white in her genes for sure.

How can people compare

How can people compare rihanna's style to Beyonce's, especially when she mimics beyonce style. From day one she copied beyonce, so much to the point that she is willing to take back the man that publicly humiliated her, just so that she can copy beyonce and bear a child she is so pathetic, she is the most attention whore seeking manic depressive i have ever observed. Everytime and i mean everytime jayz shows his wife some affection rihanna will do any thing *side eye* absolutely anything i.e. (Chris brown) to divert Jayz attention from Bey but now Blue Ivy in the picture, jay dont have time to play games with her. She is a spoilt media seeking haw n the same thing what sweet her a go sour her. pmsl.

@BLACKGIRL Rihanna is NEVER

@BLACKGIRL Rihanna is NEVER thinking about Beyonce when she gets dressed in the AM. Rihanna NEVER copied Beyonce that is such a LIE. Rihanna is STYLE. Beyonce is a VICTIM of STYLE there is a huge difference there. And As far as taking Chris Brown back. Chris has paid his debt to Rihanna and to society. Rihanna has the right to allow him back on the condition he never touch her again in that way. It's called forgiveness. Maybe you should try it. It's also called LOVE. And Rihanna is not thinking about Jay-Z like that GIRL PLEASE! You need to GIVE it up with these LIES. You are a COMPLETE JOKE! #rihannnavyforlife

Oh well serve u right fool. @furious styles why u always so mad rihanna can not sing which is why she will be easily replaced jay know dat, and I don't care how much money she got she aint got enough to save chris from going jail pwahaha *jadakiss style* by time chri come out blue will be 5 and bey & j will be on baby #3. The best thing u can do is research how rihanna can preserve chris brown sperm hahaha n baby the beating what chris brown gave rihanna aint nothing compared to the heartache she gonna feel when jay tun her batty out hahaha bow out

She is lightskinned plain and simple and might even seem fairer because she is in Europe well paleness runs ramapant becuase its winter there 10 months out of the year in 1/2 of those places..

Beyonce is only scantily clad

Beyonce is only scantily clad in her videos and while performing. It's for entertainment and artistry purposes. Beyonce has NEVER been under-dressed during an outing or on the red carpet. Beyonce represents classy but yet sexy. All those other people you have named are straight up boring. They dress like grandmas!!

Rihanna has never been under dressed on the red carpet and shits on Beyonce 's style. Beyonce don't take risks with fashion. Her looks are always predictable, that is why Rihanna is always on the best dressed list, and Beyonce never is.

She has never been yellow

She has never been yellow smh. The girl is brown skin. It dont surprise me that she is getting lighter after all she has to bend in with the white folks. This girl has no style and looks like a clown. Not to mention her singing SUCKS! She better thank god that she is pretty because if she was a fat dark skin chick she would be a nobody!

Will U shut UP! Rihanna has been in LONDON maybe you need to get a passport and TRAVEL. She is pale but so what?People like you pretend like there is something wrong with being lighter. That people are "doing something" to become lighter. Maybe you need to take a self esteem class because BLACK people come in ALL SHADES. Rihanna is BLACK. Get over it!
