Rihanna brings back the snood

Rihanna brings back the snood

What does the 'sn' in snood stand for? The 'ood' is presumably hood. Snuggly? Snow?

Anyway. Here's Rihanna, rocking the Eighties by wearing a snood. And looking incredible. The jacket is gorgeous and fits her like a dream, and she's another one who's embraced the comfort and leg-lengthening style of the riding boot.

And talking of trends - which we always do, obv - looks like last season's black-on-black look is still going strong! I mean, take a look at the evidence. In the past few weeks alone we've had Gwen Stefani, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss, Eva Longoria, Mary-Kate Olson and, er, Leslie Ash, all mixing their black fabrics. Shocking, I call it.

I wait with bated breath for the pics of be-snooded celebrities to come flooding in. Deeley-boppers will be next, you mark my words.

Britney Spears and Rihanna triumphed at the 2008 NRJ Music Awards on Saturday (26.01.08).

Britney, who has had a tumultuous time since divorcing Kevin Federline and losing custody of her two sons, saw off stiff competition from Rihanna and Amy Winehouse to receive the International Album of the Year prize for her comeback LP 'Blackout'.

Although Rihanna lost out on the album award, her popular dance track 'Don't Stop the Music' was named International Song of the Year at France's most famous music awards ceremony.

The stunning 19-year-old singer showed off her new short hairstyle as she performed her award-winning song at France's Palais des Festivals de Cannes.

'SexyBack' singer Justin Timberlake won International Male Artist of the Year, while Canadian star Avril Lavigne was crowned International Female Artist of the Year.

Amy Winehouse, who was nominated for International Revelation of the Year and International Album of the Year, was due to perform at the star-studded ceremony but was forced to pull out after entering rehab for drug addiction last week.

Lebanese-born 'Grace Kelly' singer Mika, who wore a shocking pink jacket to the ceremony, picked up the International Revelation of the Year.

Michael Jackson, Celine Dion and Kylie Minogue all received the NRJ Award of Honour for their contribution to music.
