Copycat! Rihanna dresses as a Latina gangster for Halloween TWO DAYS after Chris Brown's girlfriend Karreuche Tran wears almost identical costume
|
She usually starts trends rather than follow them.
But Rihanna has seemingly copied her ex-Chris Brown's girlfriend Karreuche Tran by going as a Latina gangster for a Halloween party in her native Barbados.
After the 25-year-old model rocked the look two days ago, the Diamonds singer was seen dressed in the same costume on Thursday night.

The songstress uploaded several pictures to her Instagram account in which she is seen dressed in a pair of low-slung jeans that show off her underwear, a cropped top worn underneath a plaid shirt and bandana wrapped around her head.
She described herself as a 'chola', an offensive slur which refers to a Mexican-American subculture with roots in the pachuco and zoot-suit traditions in California.
The style has been associated with street gangs, but not all youths who adopt the look have gang affiliations.
Rihanna took her look a little bit further that Karrueche, however, by wearing black and white zombie make-up.
She also painted on a neck tattoo and a teardrop design underneath her eye.

Puffing away: In the slew of snaps the Diamonds star posted to Instagram, Rihanna can also be seen smoking a suspicious-looking hand rolled cigarette
The teardrop tattoo is often connected to prison, and in the United States can mean that the wearer has killed someone.
In the slew of snaps the Diamonds star posted to Instagram, Rihanna can also be seen smoking a suspicious-looking hand rolled cigarette, licking the top of a Halloween cake and posing with best pal Melissa Forde.

Trendsetter Rihanna's costume choice is particularly odd after Karreuche spored the same look before her earlier in the week.
She also posted a
slew of pictures on her Instagram in the costume, the very same day that
her on/off boyfriend Chris Brown was arrested for assault yet again.
Karreuche shared the snap with more than 800,000 followers, telling her fans she had decided to dress up as a 'chola'.

Karreuche donned the trademark flannel shirt and khaki pants often associated with the look.
The sometime girlfriend of rapper Brown held a cocktail in one hand and flashed a gang sign with her other in a solo photograph.
Karrueche also applied heavy wine-coloured lipstick and accentuated her dark eyebrows with liner.

'Chola,' was the one-word caption accompanying Karrueche in her solo photo.
She posed with two gal pals who also wore similar costumes.
Her friends too were dressed in flannel shirts and khaki pants, and both also had fake prison-related teardrop tattoos near their eyes.
