Now, I don’t mean ‘get Rihanna’s bra’ as in “win it here”. I don’t have Rihanna’s bra. If I did, I’d keep it. But maybe you want the same one. Or something similar… I can help!

Here are 2 Rihanna photos and how to get bras that will give you the same look… and by the way, this is how to spell her name correctly, I checked on her official site: http://www.rihannanow.com/.

This is a still shot of Rihanna in concert.

 If you’re an avid reader of our site, you know you can find this bra in my blog about the Breast cancer awareness month Wacoal Fitting. You may even be able to name it because the style is so rare. The Fashion Forms U Plunge Bra boasts an ultra-deep Plunge U-shape in the front center gore. The padded cups provide demi coverage. The back wing width tapers from 3 3/4 inches to 1 1/4 inch, and can be pulled down for deep back styled fashions. There are pockets inside the cups so you can insert pads for added cleavage. The straps convert to 3 styles. There is soft padding in the cups for lift, and no underwire under the breast - well, nothing directly under the breast actually.

This is a still shot from Rihanna’s video with Ne-yo, “Hate that I love you.” She basically spends the whole video in a bra and pencil skirt, which created an internet stir. However, people fail to notice that this is not just any lacy, frilly bra. It is a balconette bra. Although similar to a demi bra in that it covers half the breast, the bottom of the bra sits horizontally, creating a shelf for the breasts to sit on. Thus, the cleavage is vulumptuous across the full width of the chest, not in a curved moon shape like a demi bra.

What makes this bra unique? Embroidered lace around, on and below the cups, bows on the straps and center gore, and - SHH - she is wearing it in a cup size too small for extra pouring over the top. It was probably modified and tailored for Rihanna. But if you want to find a similar lacy, romantic balconette bras to sing on your bed like she does, try these:

The Anastasia underwire balcony bra from Superbra by Panache has embroidered gauze cups that are embellished with woven ribbon. The straps feature a double cord connecting them to the bra cups, and small bows. Available up to size G in 3 color combinations ranging from $33-$70. A matching thong and brief are also available.
