Alexis Carter
decided to dress like Rihanna at her school's Hollywood-themed prom and had a
family friend design her a dark green catsuit with wing-like panels. Miss
Carter's bold outfit, modeled on an ensemble that Rihanna wore in 2010, led to
her being cyber-bullied - including several vitriolic tweets from the
Grammy-award winner herself.
Rihanna, 26, posted a photo of herself wearing the low-cut
one-piece, captioned 'IG', alongside a photo go Alexis in her outfit with the
caption 'Real Life' and a sad face.
The picture received 9,386 retweets and 11,245 favorites on
Twitter.
In another picture, tweeted a few minutes later on May 8, to
her 35million followers, Rihanna posted a photo of the teen next to the
bat-like logo of the Wu-Tang Clan. She also retweeted the hashtag #PromBat.
The 16-year-old said that when she first saw the green,
cape-like outfit that was made especially for her, she said: 'It's cool, I love it, oh my god.'
At the prom, she received lots of compliments on her daring
look, according to Miss Carter, as she posed up on the red carpet to show off
her unusual outfit.
She told Fox:
'Everybody was saying, ''Oh my god, I love it, it looks nice your body looks
good it's different.'''
The picture of Miss Carter in her outfit has now spread
across social media and led to tirades of abuse against the teenager. And what
hurt Miss Carter the most was that Rihanna had joined in the cyberbullying.
Miss Carter told Fox Baltimore: 'I was very offended. Why throw shade on it when you had on the exact
same thing. The poses was different but the outfit wasn't.' She added: 'She don't love her fans like she says
she does.'
