Rihanna tricked her fans just like Britney Spears a few year ago by appearing naked in a flesh-coloured leotard for her new video You Da One. The 23-year-old singer, who certainly knows how to titillate fans, stripped off in the new Video "strips off" and appeared naked when she was in fact wearing a flesh-coloured leotard, the Daily Mail reported.
In the vide, the Grammy-winner is seen writhing on the floor with strategically placed artistic shards of light to create leopard spots and tiger stripes on her skin.
RihannaIt seemed that her new romance with her backing dancing Londoner Dudley O’Shaughnessy influenced her choice of location, with the video filmed in east London’s Hackney.
The Bajan beauty wears a number of outfits and wigs throughout the video, emulating the iconic clothes from Stanley Kubrick film A Clockwork Orange by wearing a white bowler hat and cane.
In another scene she flaunts her figure in a fishnet-clad ensemble and later flashes a gold grill on the bottom half of her jaw as she smiles for a camera close-up.
She filmed the video while she was in England for her string of concerts at the O2 Arena in London last month.
Spears first teased fans in a skin-coloured bodysuit with her video for Toxic in 2004.
It wasn’t long before Shakira followed in her footsteps, slipping into similar attire for She-Wolf in 2009.
That doesn't mean that Rihanna was inspired by it though the only reason she was wearing it was because she couldn't be naked. The focus on the scene wasn't the leotard, it was the lighting effects on her.
I wish a pic. was included in the post because I don't even remember what scene they're referring to in 'You da one' -- any way she wasn't inspired by Britney. But yes, Britney did popularize it and made the look iconic in pop culture. Even after J.Lo's AMA performance there were media outlets saying she 'copied' Britney which shows to go that the look is synonymous with her.
