She also boldly showed her red and white striped underwear, and the lace details added a touch of extra charm to her. Rihanna embraced the re-emerging trend of underwear accessories at the time, showing her youthfulness and fashion attitude.
The young star's hair color was dyed light chestnut, and her hair was not overly decorated, with simple straight hair falling naturally.
