Rihanna looked to bold ensembles with an '80s twist for her new video, "Rude Boy." "Ri wanted a colorful dancehall vibe to go with the attitude and feel of the song," explains stylist Mariel Haenn, who collaborated with fellow stylist Rob Zangardi to create a few pieces including a top made from vintage records (at left) and a black-and-white graphic body suit. "It was custom made," says Haenn of the one-piece, which made quite the statement when paired alongside a live zebra. "We hand-drew the lines on a mannequin and hired a textile painter to copy the drawing in life-size scale."
