Rihanna has the style game on lock.

Girlfriend is edgy, forward-thinking and carefree. She belts out tunes, parties it up and is a must-have on red carpets. Her panache appears effortless. The paparazzi swarm her.She's a blogosphere darling--despite a violent break up as well as nude photo leak scandal.

Many say that this is Rihanna's moment.

Over-the-top long manes, classic designs and ultra-femininity are out; urban glam rock is in (in all its tomboyish glory). There are, indeed, other divas on the scene. Lady Ga Ga, Teyana Taylor and Keri Hilson come to mind.Right now, though,Rihanna leads the fashionista pack. Come on...I know I wasn't the only gal that asked my hair dresser for the "Rihanna bob" last summer.

But there's something more to this "Good Girl Gone Bad" movement. Beneath it all is an attitude. There's a subtle rebellion in the whole urban glam rock trend. Coupled with the black and neon clothing, throwback accessories and asymmetrical haircuts comes an inner quality.

Fierceness.

Yeah, the word is ubiquitous these days but let's dig deeper: fierceness simply means hardcore. Look it up in a dictionary and you'll discover synonyms like savage, ferocious, wild and severe.

Cold.

Rihanna does cold well. Take, for instance, her signature scowl. She mean mugs whenever she's snapped by the paps. Don't believe me? Go through this Rihanna fan site gallery of candid pictures. She has the look and the attitude to match.

Is urban glam rock just an image? Is there anything to its assumed darkness and sassiness? What does this have to do with Christian women?

Well, it's okay for us to incorporate some of urban glam rock's fashion must-do's-so long as we keep it modest. It's cool, for instance, for a Christian sister to toy with colorful graphic tees, leggings, skinny jeans and statement jewelry if worn in good taste.

That's as far as it goes, though. The subversive, hardcore urban glam rock attitude goes against the Fruit of the Spirit requirement for Christians. It's therefore rendered off-limits.

Ultimately, this question is about whether Christians should blend in. Well…yes and no. We don't have to wear heavy, Biblical-age robes and garbs, even though we're called priests (Rev. 20:6). Instead, we can be modestly comfortable in today's fashion. The catch is that there must still be a difference about us. And that starts inwardly. Young Christian sisters mustn't embrace the rude g'yal-as Jamaicans would put it- persona that accompanies the urban glam rock movement.

That is, if we expect to be light in a dark world.
