Rihanna: Chic Russian Spy or Super Fashionable Miss Hannigan?

Does the "Stay" singer look more like an enemy of James Bond or Little Orphan Annie?

This colorful combo on Rihanna makes her look like she's wearing one costume for two totally different movies.

First, we thought the Miu Miu design made for a dramatic and dangerous eastern European spy. She'd have a scary Slavic name like Stolichnaya (yes, also a scary Russian vodka), carry a gold pistol in her garter and woo James Bond with her fire red lips and total lack of emotion. But there's something about that hot mess of a coat that reminds us of an equally vicious character. One who stole a sweet orphan's locket and then sang about it while making some bathtub gin.

Miss Hannigan did have a way of throwing every item in her closet together for a sexy madame kind of moment. And wasn't she always flailing around in her thigh highs? The "Can't Remember to Forget You" singer doesn't look dressed to handle a hundred little girls in an orphanage, but she could definitely get Mr. Bundles uniform in a bunch (he was the pudgy laundry man for those of you not nearly as obsessed with the original Annie).

We're going to call this one a draw, mostly because Miss Hannigan would make a hysterical spy movie villain. That makes this look a win/win in more ways than one.
