Rihanna Goes Blonde For Armani (PHOTO, POLL)

Another day, another Rihanna hair 'do.

The recently brunette (and before that, redhead) pop star has debuted a new blonde pixie for Armani Jeans' latest campaign.

Shot by Steven Klein in New York City, the sexy black and white ads have a film noir feel... except where the leading lady is wearing leather pants.

We wonder if the new hairstyle was comped by Armani, considering the large bill Riri's been running up with her hair stylist.

Last month the Daily Mail reported that Rihanna has been shelling out nearly $23,000 a week to celebrity hair stylist Ursula Stephen, saying, "Rihanna likes to pioneer new styles but it's costing her a fortune."

Fortunately, we sorta kinda like Rihanna's new look... maybe she'll keep it for more than a week?

Rihanna's blonde pixie cut:

LOVE! She looks fierce.

LAME! A shaggy bowl cut flatters no one.

I like Ri-ri. She's young and rich why not have fun? It's not like she sits at a desk all day. Let her have fun!! I loved the red hair and I love the new brown/blond hair she has now. She always looks very chic in her personal style...IMO. This do I don't like so much but it's not her personal style. she was paid to wear the wig.

reading the comments, I can't get over how many people are putting her down for going blond. First off she didn't do it cause she was bored one day. Armani paid her to wear a white wig for the contrast color in the photo shoot. I would wear it too if they paid me to. It's funny to read these comments about why did she pick blond and why can't she wear her hair natural. Most stars don't wear natural colors or their natural hair. No matter the race, most women in showbiz today wear they hair colored, with weave, and/or full wig. Rihanna is doing her thing and making money. Don't hate her for it.

It's obviously a wig. But she actually looks chic? Interesting.

It's most likely a full weave piece, dyed and cut to style. Anyone who colors, heats, and process their hair as much as she does would have nothing but weak, dried, thined out strands left. My hair stylist worked runway shows for 15 yrs and said those young girls had the worst hair he's seen bc they had so much damage done. Nevertheless, I think RhiRhi is a serious style icon. She works that perfect long body and gorgeous face like no one else. She makes it look easy which is why I think she's the best. GaGa tries so f'n hard she just OTT all the time. Beyonce is genuinely beautiful but she doesn't come off as effortless - her style says team work.

Is this a wig or is it really her hair? If she has taken her naturally black hair and bleached it to smithereens to get this white-blonde look, she'll be bald by Christmas!

So she got tired of looking like Ronald McDonald and decided she would rather look like a white teenaged boy?

Black women hates their own hair and will copy a fake straight hair doo by any means possible, Looking fake, false, phoney, and funny. We love natural women of color happy in her skin. What is a woman of color???

Why can't black women experiment with their hair like anyone else. Your picture looks rather young, so you have time to develop the taste that you seem to lack. Why don't you show your face so that we may criticize something about you little boy?

The shorter hair brings out the shape of her face and her eyes. The red big-head look made her look like a kid playing dress-up. And the big brown curly thing -- yuk! Like a down-market hooker.

RiRi can rock any color and still look beautiful :) HOWEVER, that bowl cut is terrible (she's still gorgeous of course) and it has got to go.

Anyway, it's not like this is her new style -- it was for an ad.

It actually doesn't really look like her in this photo. I don't know if its the wig, the lighting or whatever.
