Abu Dhabi, Dec 30 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Rihanna is all set to perform at the New Year bash at Abu Dhabi. But the sad part is that she is having a hard time choosing her dress, because apparently the organizers have asked her to dress conservatively for the show. Rihanna is known to dress in a very provocative manner and her eye-popping costumes are a major part of her show.
But Abu Dhabi has a very conservative society and though they want to welcome the New Year with her show, they want her to customize her outfits in tune with the society there.
A source tells Britain’s Daily Mirror, “Rihanna is tearing her hair out over what to do - she wanted to put on her most eccentric and provocative show yet. She knows that she’ll have to compromise her style to fit in with local traditions - but a huge part of her show is her sexy stage gear. The dress code in Abu Dhabi does not encourage excessively revealing outfits.”
The 21-year-old singer is being paid a whooping $500,000 (£312,000) for the New Year show in Abu Dhabi. Her design team are now said to be working frantically on new outfits that are in tune with the local traditions. She has being asked to dress in a decent manner when she takes the stage to ring in the New Year at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
