A couple confections to start off your day. Iman and Rihanna attend the Glamour Magazine 2009 Women of The Year Honors at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Jason Wu Spring 2010 Collection It seems it's our destiny to always say this when it comes to her but, "Only Iman..." On anyone else, it would look decidedly muppetesque, but her superior genes and fierce style don't allow that to happen....
