Recently, Rihanna took to the red carpet for the premiere of the film Battleship in Tokyo wearing a silk pyjamas-esque suit by Pucci. That's right, she rocked the red carpet wearing, pyjamas. When I first heard this, I was a bit taken aback. I mean, shouldn't the red carpet be some sort of style sanctuary where one must always look their best? Then again I thought, if you're going...
