The paps already caught up with Rihanna at her London hotel even before she headed to the BRIT Awards 2012 last Tuesday.
Rihanna’s pre-awards show prep outfit consisted of this long grey sweatshirt dress punched up with a pair of sheer blue ankle socks and blue pointy pumps. Heavily tinted wayfarers, gold hoop earrings, stacked rings and long gold nails completed her street style look:

We’ve featured tons of sweater dresses here on Your Next Dress before, but I believe this is the first time we’re featuring a sweatshirt dress. This is surprising to me because I personally love sweatshirt dresses. I’ve even converted a few old sweaters into dresses myself by cutting out the neckline and giving them a cuter off-the-shoulder style. You can try doing it too — it’s real simple to do and a lot of fun!
As for Rihanna’s sweatshirt dress, she gave hers a trendier and more feminine show-off-the-legs look by putting a knot at the bottom hemline. The blue socks and pumps are very feminine too of course, but it’s not a look that many women can pull off.
I believe Rihanna IS pulling it off though, but I’d like to know what you think — is Rihanna’s sweatshirt dress + pointy pumps look HOT or NOT?
If you’re just wanting the dress (like I am), here are a couple of cute shorter sweatshirt dresses I found:
James Perse Raglan Sweatshirt Dress, $95.00 to $135.00 ; C&C California Short Sleeve Terry Sweatshirt Dress, $118.00
I also came across this similar black hooded sweatshirt dress that’s only missing the ‘Rich’ graphic print across the chest:
Zoe Tee’s Terry Hoodie Dress, $95.00
If you’re really feeling RICH, here’s a thousand-dollar sweatshirt dress from Donna Karan:
Donna Karan Jersey Zip-Front Long Hooded Dress, $1,295.00
No ID on Rihanna’s own sweatshirt dress yet but I’ll update this post as soon as we find who makes it!
