Rihanna Poolside in Barbados Wearing a Bikini

Rihanna was recently on vacation in Barbados. She was spotted spending a lot of time poolside wearing a gold bikini. It has been a while since I criticized someone for being overweight and since I’m in the perfect mood to do so and this opportunity presented itself, here it goes….
There was a time when I thought Rihanna was fit and toned and looked amazing for what she had to work with. She has a very pretty face and eyes, and we all know that she is never going to be as skinny as Vlada. Rihanna seemed to be doing a very good job of looking great and keeping fit, I even witnessed this about a year and a half ago when I saw her at an event. After seeing these pictures, I’m very disappointed with her appearance. However, I am surprised that she doesn’t have loads of cellulite in her thighs. She’s built pretty solid, with a much better upper body than her lower half.
For the record, I don’t think she is a lard ass. I think she is large and would look a lot better if she slimmed down.
First I would suggest that she buy bikini bottoms that actually fit so she doesn’t need to constantly adjust herself. Second, I would suggest that she lay off of the excess food and drink, especially poolside. And last, I suggest that she go on a healthy diet and hit the gym.
She’s talented, and has the raw materials to be a sexy slimmed-down curvy woman – I’d love to see it!

I think she needs to lose weight as well. Touching thighs are not attractive. I used to like her a lot, but anyways..She’s been seen leaving out of a lot of restaurants lately..this is probably why she gained so much weight.
yeah that’s the only let-down of being such a sociable celebrity, you tend to eat alot.
dinner parties, restaurants, awards nights, A-list parties, ceremonies, it goes on and on..
i still love her, but not for her looks.
she just dresses amazingly well, her hair is always uptodate and she is very popular.
but skinny-bitch version of Rhianna, THAT i would love
x
Very classy and well put skinny gurl! but honestly she has like gained like 30 lbs (she’s 5’11″) in the past couple years..
Rihanna is NOT 5’11″. I met her 2 years ago at a concert, and she’s probably about 5’6″ or 5’7″. I’m 5’4″ and she was only a couple inches taller than me.
I think she definitely could go in the gym to tone up those legs.
she’s 5’8″ guys…. lol
That bikini is foul, not to mention her legs and her hair..
Yeah, I totally saw her in concert and she looked really good at this black light show at the nokia theater.. But whoa.. yeah.. I don’t remeber her thighs being that gross. Homegirl needs to hit the gym.
Site renovation looks awesome!
“OVERWEIGHT”????!!!!!
you are CRAZY! She’s UNDERweight!
@millie, are YOU crazy?? She’s definitely NOT underweight, otherwise most of us on this forum would be dropping dead right now. ‘Underweight’ is BMI<18.5. If I had to guess, she'd probably be 20-22, the high end of 'normal', if anything.
Thunder thighs come to mind. She used to be skinnier than Beyonce. Her face is beautiful but homegirl srsly needs to exercise.
Ew… talk about inspiration to hit the gym later… =P
@ Millie- If Rihanna is “underweight”, than what’s normal weight? Lane Bryant? No wonder America is soo fat. People think being 150lbs is deathly skinny
She has clearly let herself go her style and weight is horrible!
She’s probably in the healthy range of the BMI indicator but no where near the slim/skinny/superskinny catergory.
How much do you think she should lose? x
I would say a 15 lb weight loss would do her right. Btw, @Millie, I have a BMI of 18, and I am NO WHERE near as skinny as some of the women featured on this site. If you’re gonna debate the classic “skinny” argument, get your facts right.
Also, I didn’t even look past picture # 1; that was enough for me. D:
Omg I looovvveee the new site layout! I haven’t been on here in so long because I was moving and my iphone reception sucks and I just got internet today.. so, I have a lot of catching up to do, lol! But let me start here..
Rihanna looks terrible, anyone looking at these photos will easily lose their appetite. And what about the rule ‘No eating an hour or two before swimming?’ lol, THIS is the real reason people came up with that rule, haha
@ Anya – Thanks! Glad to have you back. I hope your move went well, that can be such a stressful process so I feel for you : )
I look like her irght about now and i hate it. I wanna be thin so badly
I think her weight’s in the healthy range, if not the currently fashionable one, and what she has, she carries in the right places. She probably wears a 10-12. I think she pulls off the wild ‘do, too.
@Anya, I hope your move went well! Welcome back, I’d been gone as well, it’s great to have you here though, your comments are always good =)
“It has been a while since I criticized someone for being overweight and since I’m in the perfect mood to do so and this opportunity presented itself, here it goes….” Haha, that made me laugh!
Rihanna can stand to lose a few kilos. There is no denying it. If her bikini fit it would be great as well.
Come on Ri-ri, you can do it!!
Um, yeah I think Rihanna looks a bit plump in her bikini. However, her fat is well-distributed and her stomach still has those abs.
With some diet and exercise, I’m sure she will gain her slim and toned body back.
I think your site is great inspiration for girls like me trying to watch their figures, but I do not think you should criticize women for how they choose for their bodies to appear. Rihanna looks HEALTHY. She does not need to lose weight, to me, she looks womanly and toned goddess-like, although I prefer to be a little on the skinnier side myself, she looks amazing. There is no rule saying you have to be a size 0, and if you’re not, you have to lose weight. Leave her be, she is gorgeous.
You’re amazing! I enjoy positive people it is refreshing.=)
I agree with you 100 percent.
Especially appreciated this post. Needed some reverse thinspo. Oh, holidays…:/
Great critique btw!
eww the bikini is gross! looks like nude underwear. Her upperbody is great, she just needs to slim down those legs. She isn’t blessed with a nice natural shape to her legs though, which doesn’t help
it’s so sad that celebrities that make so much money and have so many resources at their disposal let themselves go. like wtf some of us can’t afford personal trainers, diet experts, etc and still manage to stay thin
Rihanna is looking hot! And more importantly, she looks like she’s having fun.
She looks like a rooster =(
I can’t believe she would eat while wearing a bikini!! i could never do that
I’m sorry but as much as i think Rhianna is gorgeous in her face she definately doesn’t have the body i thought she would …. i think some abs workouts and toning those thunder thighs would make this picture much nicer to look at!!
Ewwww her thighs That’s a lot of cellulite
