Rihanna made her first public appearance last night since her beatdown by Chris Brown at the “Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion” Costume Institute Gala in NYC . Rihanna looked super hot and trendy with her modified and even feminine version of a tuxedo. And luckily she kept the accessories to a minimum, leaving Chris somewhere else besides her side.

Rihanna has still been a hotbed of controversy regarding her being with Chris and not wanting him to go to jail. But she looked nice last night, even though it was a bit manly of an outfit. According to Just Jared:

Rihanna takes control in a black puff sleeve suit, white ruffle shirt and black bow tie by Dolce & Gabbana at the “Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion” Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday (May 4).

I don’t know as I would put ‘takes control’ in the same paragraph describing her, since she has some domestic issues surrounding her. What do you think of Rihanna’s outfit?
