'Rihanna bares almost all in sheer, sparkly dress. The 26-year-old singer arrived at the stylish event, held by the Council of Fashion Designers of America, in a floor-length sparkling gown that recalled the era of Josephine Baker. Custom-made by designer Adam Selman, the mostly backless number shone from more than 230,000 Swarovski crystals and was accented with a baby pink feather boa, gloves and a glittering turban. But it wasn\'t just Rihanna\'s effortless 1920s glamour that turned heads. As Selman described to Style.com, \"the dress is just fishnet and crystals and a couple of fingers crossed.\" That left everything that wasn\'t covered by a flesh-colored thong on full display. \"It\'s so naked,\" Rihanna\'s stylist, Mel Ottenberg, added to Style.com. \"I don\'t know if it\'s shocking -- I\'m with her all the time, so my shock gauge is off -- but I told her that I thought she was ready for this dress a while ago, and that I wasn\'t. I\'m the prude, and I\'m just catching up.\" Ottenberg may still be getting used to the revealing look, but some observers -- like fashion magazine Vogue -- have heartily approved. \"Rihanna has become the rare celebrity who does not follow fashion -- she affects it,\" the magazine tweeted on Monday. Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour was at the ceremony to present Rihanna with the CFDA\'s 2014 Fashion Icon award.'
