When Does Sexy Become Slutty?

Rihanna see through

There is actually a very thick, definite line separating sexy from slutty. Unfortunately many people are blissfully unaware of this. Today's hottest celebs often get caught on the wrong side of the line when they try to push their sexiness too far and end up looking cheap. Lately, Rihanna, who we once hailed as a style icon, has been falling short of our haute expectations. For such a young beautiful girl, she seems to feel some compelling urge to bare her nipples, flash her g-strings and leave as little as possible to the imagination in the most unflattering ways. While RiRi can get away with this type of behavior unscathed, us regular folk are not so lucky.

Here are 8 rules to help you master the delicate balance between slutty and sexy:

1.) If your mother taught you that its a private part, and we can see it in public, you look slutty.

2.) If you have seen it on a dancer in the local strip joint, its probably not a good idea.

3.) If it looks like it was made to fit your younger sister instead of you, its too small. If its too small, it won't cover all of your lady parts and you will look slutty.

4.) Just because you saw a girl wearing it in the club scene of the hottest rap video of the moment, doesn't mean its a look worthy of being duplicated on you at a real-life club. They get paid to look slutty. You don't.

5.) Showing peaks of sexy lingerie can be sexy. wearing an entire lingerie set as an outfit? Slutty.

6.) Less is not always more. A bikini top is not a shirt. Neither is a bra. Furthermore, a leotard is not an outfit. Do not let Beyonce fool you. If you wear a one piece bathing suit to go anywhere other than the pool/beach, you will probably look less sexy and more slutty (not to mention stupid).

7.) Having a nice shape is sexy. Grossly OD-ing on plastic surgery to push the limits of "nice curves," is slutty.

8.) Nude photo shoots can be sexy when tastefully done and kept private. Having your naked body floating around the net is not sexy.
