Chris Brown showed up last night at the NBA finals with a Rihanna look-alike, Teyana Taylor. I don’t know if this is some part of his sick sense of humor, or what. Some people will say it’s just coincidence even though her glasses really add to Taylor’s similarity to Rihanna. (Teyna, a disciple of Pharrell, has been Tweeting about how sick she is of being mistaken for Rihanna, natch.)
A picture in the gallery of Rihanna with Taylor from last year.
Teyana,
She’s being mistaken for Rihanna because it looks like she’s trying to emulate Rihanna’s style. She looks pretty damn busted next to Rihanna, so maybe she should take it as a compliment and shut up.
Emulate Rihanna’s style?
Wrong.
Teyana’s style is described asa “punk ballerina” and “skater chic”.
No-one but Rihanna’s overpaid stylists know what her style is supposed to be.
Teyana’s a skater girl and wears basketball hats, skinny jeans and Air Force Ones. The only similarity they have is that they’re mixed.
And why would anyone mistake her for Rihanna when she has (ALOT! of real) hair and Rihanna’s hairline mimics a destructive wave coastline?

Rest that hairline, woman!
aww girl u need to sort urself out before even tryna diss rhiannas hairline cum on woman, goin take ur own face for a shit before try curse sumone else u freak hahaha mwah
Do you even see her in the top picture? She looks just like she’s trying to copy RiRi.
Punk ballerina and skater chic? Did you mean to say that she tries to look like a dumbass? I skate all of the time, and I rarely see punk ballerinas at the park. I just got into a big discussion with someone about how much the popular opinion of what skater style is pisses me off, so I won’t get started about that.
And telling me about Rihanna’s over-paid stylists is bullshit, because Teyana goes to over-paid designers for trendy, deconstructed clothing and it drives me crazy (statement based off of her Sweet 16 appearance). Rihanna’s style is pretty cool (I’d consider her high tops more skater than Teyana’s Air Force Ones) so if it is her stylist’s call on it, then she better keep rocking it so that she doesn’t look like some lame hipster moron.
I can’t really dispute that hairline claim. You’re so right that having what looks to be a gross bird’s nest on your head is a lot more stylish than an A-line bob.
Oh God yes…the Heatherette dress…
also, the style above is NOTHING like Teyana’s former style, and virtually identical to to Rihanna’s current style. This added to Chris and Rihanna sitting across the basketball court from one another a couple of days ago? I have the weary suspicion that this passes for with in Chris Brown’s dumb-ass mind. Either Teyana’s a willing participant, or a dupe. In any case, it isn’t attractive.
Girl, I know. This is another case of black people knowing black celebrities and white people not really knowing much about them Teyana has been dressing that way for several years. Anyone who has watched those stupid sweet 16 shows on MTV would remember her.
Rihanna’s style is her stylist’s style, no more. Teyana did not copy anyone. People were even going about how Rihanna’s team jacked Fefe Dobson’s look right after she got dropped from Def Jam because they were supporting Rihanna.
Yeah, if you’re not an astronaut then you don’t know shit about astronauts.
Oh, yes, let’s chalk it up to race. Obviously white people’s eyes just don’t function at all. It has NOTHING to do with what her style was and has been, it has to do with the fact that in that top picture she looks like she’s trying to look like Rhianna. Rhianna is more famous than Teyana so clearly nobody is going to be like, “Rhianna totally jacked that girl’s style,” because that girl is a nobody.
are you kidding me? I’m black and that girl resembles Rhianna. She clearly loves it..cuz this is the MOST publicity she’s received. No one is implying ri is the only one who can dress a certain way..but reality is..she resembles her. Chile..dont allow your blackness to dumb you down…
I think they have the same profile and very similar facial features. Teyana jaw is a little squarer, but from a far, they could pass as kin.
I TOTALLY AGREE!!
who would mistake her ugly ass with riahhana? she looks like she got ran over a few times.
She looks ugly with that hideous expression.
I remember watching her on “Sweet 16” and she was the biggest bitch ever.
Maybe shes into the hitting now that shes with Brown? Lol
wow. really? abuse jokes? not funny.
Wow, really? And how many have been said/used after Chris incident?
hand placement….
That is a super friendly hand…
she was on mtv’s “my super sweet sixteen” a couple of years ago. i loved her party! but, yeah, she does look a lot like riri in the top picture
She looks like Rihanna.. If Rihanna got stung by a swarm of bees?
haha…exactly
She looks nothing like Rihanna, Rihanna is much much prettier, and definitely more rocker/skater than Teyana.
She looks like she could take Chris down. A manly girl.
I don’t think she looks like Rihanna at all. Rihanna is MUCH prettier and classier looking.
Actually, she is very pretty. She is just a tomboy. Calling her “manly” is a bit mean.
I wonder if people would have a different opinion of Teyana Taylor if she was lighter skinned, wore more “white” clothing and had her hair relaxed like Rihanna. In short I think some of you are judging her beauty with a white bias.
By the way Rihanna was apparently spotted leaving Playboy’s offices after a meeting. Interesting choice considering what is going on with her life.
Yeah, ‘cuz punk ballerina skater chic SCREAMS ‘Kunta Kinte.’
Hahahahahahahaha “judging her beauty with a white bias”, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Rihanna’s not pretty because she looks white, she’s pretty because she’s pretty.
You need to think a little harder, honey.
Someone has a different take on things and all of a sudden she is demoted to “honey”?? Seriously crunchy munch, get back in your basement with your dick tucked between your legs.
She’s the lesbian version of Rihanna, and that’s not a dig. She really is a lesbian. Google it baby.
That girl is butch
Rihanna is waaaaayy prettier
She is very pretty I think.

She looks less like Rihanna and more like someone hopped in a time machine and fetched back Grace Jones, circa 1985.
That’s a man, baby.
That Teyana chick looks like the gorilla on Rihanna’s dress. She is fugly and looks nothing like Rihanna.
Who the hell is this girl? She was on My Sweet 16, is that her only claim to fame? (Other than a famous family or whatever.)
She definitely doesn’t look like Rihanna in the second picture, but she does in the first, from far away, with bad hair and with stupid sunglasses. Sunglasses indoors, no less.
oh, yeah! she looks like rihanna!
the chris-beaten rihanna.
