Here’s the lovely Rihanna at Macy’s in New York promoting her new umbrella collection. Yes, that’s right, I said umbrella collection.

Get it? Because she sings the song “Umbrella”.

Sometimes it shocks me how far celebrities will go to promote themselves. Although Rihanna is looking quite hot in this photo, and I love her new hair, I’m disapointed that she would shamelessly take part in such a cash grab. Yeah, because I’m sure she didn’t make enough money working with Jay-Z, who can be quoted as saying “A dynasty like my money lasts three lifetimes”. Part of me is hoping that Beyonce will turn up and beat her up with Rihanna’s stupid umbrella-ella-ella.

However, the girl does look good. I love how she pairs her black ensemble with a pair of saucy orange pumps. The colour beautifully compliments her skin tone and the colours of her umbrella. If you want to try Rihanna’s bold look, try these from Nine West:

This is the Nine West “Elexis”. This shoe features a 4″ stacked stiletto heel and a trendy reptile stamping. I find the burnt orange colour of this shoe to be reminiscent of autumn, but the bright colour translates well for spring, also. And will I be using my Rihanna brand umbrella on those rainy spring days ahead? Not likely.

What do you think of the Nine West “Elexis”? Hot or not?
