It’s clear that Rihanna is using fashion as her coping mechanism after her turbulent split from singer, Chris Brown. And the pop singer is slamming rumors that the two have reunited after they both spent the evening at the same hotel in Manhattan. She’s rumored to be apartment hunting while in New York.

Rihanna and Chris stayed at the Trump International Hotel and Tower, but her rep claims, “This was a coincidence. She’s stayed there before, as have thousands of other people.” Meanwhile, Rihanna still has a restraining order on her apologetic ex.

Aside from her strange headgear, Rihanna showed off her curvaceous figure in a body-hugging, denim, strapless mini-dress and a pair of electric-blue suede pumps. Sexy apartment-hunting time.
