In her music video for “Bitch Better Have My Money”, dubbed as BBHMM, Rihanna sports a clear latex dress, gloves and headband for her electrifying performance. In the clip, Rihanna becomes hellbent on revenge from her accountant.
She arrives at the home of her accountant, dragging a gigantic box. In the video, she surprises her accountant’s wife while wearing a pair of bold patent vinyl boots. She pairs her look with a pinstriped blazer, white printed tee, button up skirt and a Parisian looking beret. With some gal pals, they go on a series of NSFW adventures, tying the woman up by her feet and throwing her side to side, along with hitting up a yacht.
In a gritty motel sequence, Ri Ri sports a thick latex headband and dramatic eye makeup. In the final shot, Rihanna arrives at her accountant’s house with an all latex look. She looks incredibly deadly while deciding on which weapon to use on her victim.
She wears a transparent latex dress and saunters over to Mads Mikkelsen, who also played in Hannibal. In the very last shot, she’s lounging in a crate full of dollar bills, covered in blood and smoking a cigarette, with the deed presumably taken care of. With strong themes of film noir and graphic violence, we could see this blood spattered look as a definite pick for Halloween this year.

That crate full of dollar bills and blood really sealed the aesthetic for me, and the clear latex dress somehow makes it even more disturbing and stylish.
Calling this a Halloween inspiration makes sense because the combination of graphic violence and bold latex fashion definitely leaves a lasting impression.
The moment where she shows up in the all latex look to face Mads Mikkelsen still feels cinematic, almost like a fashion editorial mixed with a crime film.
I didn’t realize how much the patent vinyl boots contributed to that first confrontation scene until reading this, especially with the oversized box entrance.
I always thought the accountant storyline was over the top, but pairing it with such a striking outfit like the clear latex dress makes it oddly cohesive.
The nod to film noir makes a lot of sense, especially with the lighting and that final decision moment where she’s choosing a weapon in full latex.
The article really captures how each outfit builds toward that last reveal, especially the contrast between casual pieces and the dramatic latex ensemble.
The Parisian beret paired with such chaotic scenes is such a strange but memorable detail, and it makes the later latex look feel even more extreme.
I like how you pointed out the earlier outfit with the blazer, tee, and beret because it contrasts so sharply with the full latex transformation at the end.
I hadn’t connected the Hannibal reference before, but now the whole Mads Mikkelsen scene feels even more chilling with that sleek latex styling.
That final image of her lounging, smoking, and covered in blood while wearing latex is so iconic it basically overshadows the rest of the video.
Seeing the outfit described piece by piece, especially the gloves and headband, makes me realize how calculated the latex look was for that final confrontation scene.
That clear latex dress in the final scene really ties the whole revenge storyline together, especially with the blood and money imagery. It’s wild how it feels both glamorous and unsettling at the same time.
I forgot how intense the motel scene was until you mentioned the thick latex headband and heavy eye makeup, which really pushed that gritty, almost noir vibe throughout the video.
The mix of that transparent latex dress with such a violent storyline is what makes BBHMM stick in my head years later. It’s like high fashion dropped into a revenge thriller.
The gloves and headband combo with latex feels very deliberate, almost like a uniform for that revenge persona she builds throughout the video.
Her transition from streetwear-inspired looks to full latex dominance is what makes the video feel like a full narrative arc rather than just visuals.
It’s interesting how the transparent latex dress isn’t just for shock value but actually emphasizes the vulnerability and dominance in that last scene.
The yacht scene feels almost like a break in the tension, but the styling still leans edgy, setting up that darker latex finale really well.
