This outfit which Rihanna wore to a nightclub is a mix of sexiness and “don’t mess with me” attitude. She wore a Sleeveless Denim Jacket from Maison Martin Margiela ($989.00) with a camoflauge hat, leather bralet, and Topshop American flag shorts.

Rihanna’s exact pair of Dark Denim Flag Print Hotpants are sold out, but Topshop have two similar pairs in stock at the moment. You can also get a cheaper pair of flag shorts from PacSun and if you’re feeling creative, you can make your own with some fabric dye and paint.

Cher Lloyd performed her first show ever in America wearing red white and blue, the colors of both her native Great Britain and the United States. We asked Cher in our exclusive interview whether her outfit was meant to be pro-Britain or pro-America and she said that it was “a bit of both.” Though she’s carrying a Union Jack handkerchief in her pocket “to let everyone know I’m British,” her blue crop top and red shorts are definitely more on the American side as they come from made-in-the-USA brand American Apparel. You can buy her Cotton Spandex Jersey Crop Tee in Lapis for $25.00 and The Disco Short in Red for $52.00.

Cassadee Pope for Hot Topic

Cassadee Pope is part of Hot Topic’s latest “Rock Our Shorts” promotion, appearing in a video and in photos on the site. Oddly enough I don’t see shorts like hers on the site — it might be the LOVEsick Blue Acid Wash Distressed Cut-Off Short Shorts ($24.50) with the cuffs rolled down. I did however find her tights, which are the Black Leopard Fishnet Tights ($10.00).

DEV at the mtvU Woodie Awards Festival in Austin, TX on March 15, 2012

Taking center stage for DEV’s performance at the mtvU Woodie Awards Festival are her golden yellow Leather Shorts by Emma Cook ($530.00). Her black and white platform oxford Jeffrey Campbell “Warning” shoes ($160.00) have a creeper-style woven toe detail and etched silver buckles. You can get a sheer blouse like DEV’s with the Chiffon Oversized Button-Up from American Apparel ($58.00). I think her exact necklace is the Hammered Collar Necklace from Nasty Gal ($20.00, sold out), but you can get similar necklaces from Nordstrom or Nasty Gal.
