Rihanna and Chris Brown have not done much to dispel dating rumors, even though Brown has a girlfriend.

Just days ago, Brown caught a lot of attention for his new tattoo of the face of a battered woman. Of course, the media speculated that the woman's face was Rihanna's.  Brown's rep shut down the rumor saying that the image is really based on a piece of art Brown admired. Even the star's tattoo artist, Peter Koskela, spoke out about the controversy. He explained to various media outlets, including the "Wendy Williams Show," that the tattoo signifies the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muerto; Brown brought him a piece of art that represented the holiday.  Furthermore, the tattoo artist confirmed that Brown's current girlfriend Karrueche Tran accompanied her beau to get the tattoo.  And finally, Brown responded to the controversy himself with a tweet, "I'm an artist and this is art. Dia de los Muertos."

Now, Brown reveals another controversial Rihanna-related tattoo. The latest body ink is of a large fighter jet located across the center of his chest. "About to go in on this #fighterjet #f16 #plane #tattoo on #chrisbrown," tattoo artist John Petro captioned a shot of a tattooed Brown. The tattoo has been criticized to look very similar to Rihanna's newest tattoo, an image of goddess Isis that spreads underneath her breasts.  

The former couple has made it known that they both still have feelings for each other through subtle moves like recording music together, suggestive tweets, and even an alleged brawl between Brown and Rihanna's rumored love interest Drake. It was Rihanna who really put everything out in the open when she sat down in a televised interview with Oprah and tearfully confessed her undying love for Brown.

Just like Brown coincidentally got a similar tattoo to his ex-flame, Rihanna is now the one to follow her former lover. Months ago, Brown tweeted photos of some bling on his bottom row of teeth. Rihanna was recently spotted leaving a restaurant in California wearing a set of gold grills - just like Brown's.

Whether or not the two stars are purposely copying off each other's style will always be a mystery. However, it's undeniable that Rihanna and Chris Brown are a match made in style heaven. Realistically, they may not be a good match due to obvious reasons (Brown notoriously assaulted Rihanna in 2009; just in case you were unaware). Nevertheless, if things didn't go bad (or at least so public), the pop stars would still be one of music's hottest couples. They both carry that trendsetting street style flair that would make them look, aesthetically, picture perfect together.

Below is a list of their many fashionable similarities:

  • Wild Hairdos:  Chris Brown has no problem dying his hair blonde or even blue. Rihanna is also unattached to her hair - literally-the pop star chopped off her long locks for the fall season. The stars will appreciate each other's need for style change.
  • Ink Collection: This is an obvious similarity. Can you imagine how many more wild tattoos the ink-obsessed pair would get if they were actually together?
  • Urban Hipster: Both Rihanna and Chris Brown have the same yet one-of-a-kind style; they counter each other. Rihanna dresses glam with a bit of vintage and a spike of flashiness. Brown is a hip hop influenced hipster with a splash of artsy. The duo would have had iconic fashion magazine covers together already had it not been for '09.
  • Risk-Takers: Forget Kimye! Chrianna would be much more interesting to style watch. There are no fashion boundaries with these two.
  • Designers: Rihanna and Brown aren't just stylish; they also have interest in the fashion industry. Brown designs his own line of funky casual wear called Mechanical Dummy. Rihanna has designed multiple collections for Armani and is currently creating a capsule collection for UK brand    River Island. These two would take over the fashion world together.
