Barbados-born beauty and one of the hottest young stars in the music industry Rihanna has been charming the world (and her fans' imagination) for a while now with her sizzling hot looks and sometimes over-the-top choice of (scanty) clothes. However, despite her over-sexualized industry image, Rihanna has always steered clear of the controversy scene, and has only been involved in some mild and generally harmless gossip regarding her current choice of boyfriend and somewhat awkward dress style on past occasions. All this was about to change - "almost" being the operative word here - when the singer almost slipped a nipple when at the Kids' Choice Awards over the weekend.

The singer arrived at the kiddy fest sporting an ultra-sexy, ridiculously low-cut corset-style black top with purple dots and a pair of funky, high-waist jeans. Despite looking positively gorgeous, the "Umbrella" singer put her boobs on display in a very un-kiddy-like fashion and allowed the photographers to snap some slightly PG-13 shots of her, some of which captured the sticky moment in which one of her nipples almost put in an appearance of its own. Rihanna narrowly avoided an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction that would not have earned any nay bonus points with the Awards organizers - however, the more mature segment of the audience was also left slightly disappointed - it's up to you to figure out the reasons.

Rihanna's taste in clothing and her love for dressing up and putting on a (slightly controversial) show are well known to her loyal fans. She's often made the "fashion police" section of the magazines and Internet fashion sites and blogs with her famed S&M dominatrix-style outfits, which she wore at several concerts. She sported thigh-high boots and PVC, leather and lace numbers that didn't earn her any points with the fashion critics but made her extremely popular in several other, more adult-oriented fan circles. So, enjoy a close-up view of Rihanna's rather private parts and keep your fingers crossed for more of the same if you're enjoying what you see, that is.
