There is no better way to show your ex how fabulous you are than by looking your best. Clearly Rihanna is a follower of this rule as she was spotted in New York City–not sulking in sweats–but looking absolutely fierce in a white corset and  distressed J Brand jeans. Rihanna is known for being a fearless fashionista, and although not everyone can work a corset like a pop star, these J Brand jeans are totally cute and wearable.

Who’s the cover girl that everyone turns to for a little style inspiration? The one and only Rihanna, of course. From her fresh sound, her stunning looks and her bold wardrobe choices, Rihanna is a fashion chameleon that refuses to give up the spotlight.

A pop-rock Rihanna sported bright pink lips, daring dark lashes and, of course, her signature mod razor cut on the red carpet of Nickelodeon's 2008 Kids Choice Awards.

Rihanna graced MTV's TRL studios with an edgy, rocker chic look, complete with a fitted leather jacket, metal jewelry and destroyed skirt.

Rihanna leaves her performance with Ne-Yo at NYC's Madison Square Garden wearing a boyfriend-inspired blazer over a dazzling mini dress and a black patent bag.

Rihanna worked a neon yellow Giambattista Valli maxi dress on the red carpet at the 2008 BET Awards. Her dark makeup and light jewelry made the look dramatic.

A cap-clad Rihanna rocked big bangles with huge gold hoops and an onyx pave cocktail ring for her performance on NBC's Today Show.

Rihanna worked the press room at the 19th Annual MuchMusic Video Awards wearing black from head to toe.

Strapped up in exotic high-heeled boots and a modest black ensemble, Rihanna makes an appearance on BET's '106 & Park' in NYC.

Making her way back into the scene, Rihanna rocked this Missoni jumpsuit while partying it up at Hollywood’s hit nightclub Les Deux. The perfect pumps to complete this stellar pop star look? These gold T-Strap sandals from Michael Kors.

Rihanna brought a new look to the table at LAX arriving in a deep purple Sir Alistair Rai scarf with a cool leather jacket. Wearing torn jeans in such a high profile avenue was certainly a bold move, but we think the pop princess pulled it off.

Recreate her rocking jet-setter look by pairing the said sensational scarf with this sleek leather jacket from MICHAEL by Michael Kors.

We said farewell to Ashlie in this week’s episode of Stylista. It was ultimately getting knocked again for not editing down photos that led to her elimination. But we wanted to get her perspective on how things went down. Check out this exclusive interview as Ashlie tells it like it is.

SeenON!: How did you hear about Stylista?

Ashlie: My boss at Armani told me about it. He heard what they were looking for and said “This is you to a ‘T’.” Even though I had missed the auditions, I still got an opportunity to interview, and they liked me!

SO!: Who inspires you most fashion-wise?

A: From the show - Brett, the photo director, and Lina, an editor at Elle. Brett’s style is very rocker while Lina’s is very Sarah Jessica Parker. Also, I love Rihanna’s style - it’s so fun and definitely not cookie cutter pop star.

SO!: You were knocked for editing in the Model Behavior challenge with Kate, and we see it again here with Dyshaun. What gives?

A: I said from the start that I would only be responsible for the copy. Dyshaun was responsible for the photos and he added way too many. Sure there was a typo in the copy, but he used the excess photos as a strategy to put the poor editing on me.

SO!: If you can change one move you made in the competition, what would it be?

A: Going into that room, I wish the first thing I would have said is “I’m not responsible for the photos on this page.” Ha! Other than that, I don’t have a whole lot of regrets from the show.

SO!: In a conversation with Johanna, Kate said she refuses to dress like the other girls at Elle. What stereotypes do you think you’ve broken? What’s new that you bring to the table?

A: I think I broke the stereotype of the black girl being the diva. I am not Omarosa, I’m not confrontational and I think I represented myself well on the show.

SO!: What are you doing now? Do you keep in touch with anyone from the show?

A: I’m working for Calvin Klein in fabrics and production. I keep in touch with William, Cologne and Jason - a little with Johanna, but not Kate or Megan.

SO!: Who do you think will win and why?

A: It could be any of them - they’re all capable. But I think if she pulls her resources and knowledge together, it will be Johanna.

SO!: What’s next for you?

A: I’m writing for Elle’s blog and I’m getting ready to start my own business in fashion. I’ll be launching a headband line soon so make sure to look out for that!

SO!: Do you have any advice for those trying to break into the industry?

A: Get part-time internships and build up as much experience as you can. Take freelance work and focus on building up a portfolio.

Krizia from www.myBeautyMatch.com talks about the link between Gabrielle Solis shorter hair and her new status.

Holy flash-forward Batman! Have you noticed how the ladies of Wisteria Lane on Desperate Housewives have advanced in time by 5 years! It of course makes for more juicy plots and it also makes room to add younger characters (I always love it when soap operas or TV shows age little toddlers by five or ten years overnight).

The biggest change in this flash-forward has got to be Gabrielle Solis’ (played by Eva Longoria-Parker) new shorter hair style and her new status as a stay-at-home mom with a working-class handicapped husband.

I find it interesting that when Gabrielle and Carlos were high rolling in shady activities and mucho dinero, Gabrielle’s long hair crowned her face, but now that money is tight, she’s sporting a very short and quite un-kept bob.

A few other unmistakable changes include the fact that Gabrielle, who never went out to pick-up the daily paper at her door without full on makeup, is now walking around town without even a little lipgloss. Additionally, Gabrielle who also used to wear tight and revealing designer clothing is now wearing loose fitting and fairly matronly fashion.

You’ve got to hand it to the stylist on that show … the transformation from Riches to Rags is complete!

That said, I thought I’d touch on the point of shorter hair a little further.

Shorter bobs are the rage since Victoria Beckham moved to this side of the Atlantic and she converted her BFF Katie Holmes (aka Mrs. Tom Cruise) to chop off her long dark brown hair for a shorter and edgier style that is now the envy of so many women.

I’d say that one of the biggest trends in Hollywood right now has been leading ladies cutting their hair short.

From Rhianna to Katie Holmes to Katherine Heigl (Grey’s Anatomy) to Ellen Barkin (Ocean’s 13) to Jenny McCarthy and now to Eva Longoria Parker shorter hair is now sexy and sassy.

If you are going to sport a short bob, you’ll want to take these 10 beauty and style tips into consideration:

1. Remember that short hair can look very un-kept if you don’t make an effort.

2. Make sure that you have a statement hair color that turn heads.

3. You want to make that your hair is well conditioned to avoid any frizziness.

4. Your flat iron will become your best friend!

5. Keep your hair well cut at all times - that means you’ll need to see your hairdresser every 4-6 weeks or so to maintain the cut.

6. Make sure you go for a bob that’s not too severe and that compliments your features.

7. Play with makeup - you can get away with bolder makeup without looking too over the top when you have shorter because there is less distraction than when you have a lot of hair.

8. Play with bolder jewelry - especially necklaces and earrings!

9. Put a lot of accent on your lips and your lip color. Often times bobs will hug the jaw line giving a lot of emphasis to your lips - make sure your show them off with flattering colors or bold red lips.

10. If you want to go short for one day or a weekend, a short bob wig will do the trick and it’s also a great way to see if you’ll like a shorter-do!
