Rihanna dazzles in a bright orange Grecian gown as steps out on solo Valentine's Day date


On amber alert: Rihanna dazzles in a bright orange Grecian gown as steps out on solo Valentine's Day date... with Chris Brown nowhere to be seen


    Her romance with on-off boyfriend Chris Brown is believed to have soured in recent days after the couple refused to acknowledge one another at a Los Angeles nightclub on Wednesday evening. 
So Rihanna's choice of amber dress was a somewhat telling colour as she headed out alone on Valentine's Day. 
Perhaps giving a not-so-subtle hint that she is preparing to put the brakes on the pair's tumultuous relationship, the 24-year-old singer stepped out solo as she attended Ne-Yo's concert at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

With her musician beau nowhere to be seen in spite it being the traditional day of romance, the Diamonds hitmaker's lonely appearance will have no doubt set tongues wagging that she and Chris are well and truly off once again.
Although Rihanna was without her man on her arm, the Bajan beauty made sure she looked utterly show stopping as she headed out for the evening. 
Her choice of bright orange draped Grecian-style dress perfectly complemented the singer's slender frame, while being a more demure choice than her usual flesh-flashing X-rated outfit choices.

The starlet teamed her sexy dress with a pair of classic gold strappy sandals and matching earrings as she wrapped up against the winter chill in a chic black fur coat. 
A slick of dramatic pillar box red lipstick, bronze make-up and her brunette locks flowing in loose waves down her back completed Rihanna's night out look. 
In spite of not having her beau by her side, the star evidently chose to make the most of her evening out on the town by heading to nightspot Club Bloc after the gig.

And although she didn't seem to have enjoyed an evening of romance with Chris, someone had made Rihanna's Valentine's Day dreams come true by presenting her with what appeared to be a marijuana plant. 
Posting a snap of the suspect-looking greenery on her Twitter page, she said: 'Roses are green! Somebody knows how to make me happy.'
Not paying any reference to her high-profile on-off romance, the sexy starlet started her Valentine's Day with a positive message to her fans. 
She tweeted: 'Happy Valentines Day. Today the day fa lovin not hatin so to cats like you and I it's just another day...'

Meanwhile, Chris posted a somewhat generic message on his page: 'HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to all the beautiful women in the world. Our Queens..... Our mothers, sisters, and daughters. I love you.'
Rihanna's solo appearance on the most romantic day of the year comes amid reports claiming she and Chris refused to acknowledge one another after both arriving at the Playhouse Nightclub in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
The singer apparently wasn't aware her on-off love would be at the same event, and demanded to be seated away from him when VIP hosts asked if she would like to be seated with her boyfriend. 
Is it on or off? Chris Brown and Rihanna arrived separately at the Playhouse Nightclub on Wednesday in Los Angeles. The on-again off-again couple ignored each other all night, a source exclusively told MailOnline

A source told MailOnline: 'Rihanna refused to sit with or even near Chris – and when Chris noticed she was there, he made a huge show of rubbing his presence in her face.
'He promptly ordered three more bottles of ace of spades which came out with in a procession of sparklers and scantily clad cocktail waitresses, causing a spectacle, which he clearly wanted Rihanna to see.'
The music superstars had arrived separately at the Popular Demand’s 1 Year Anniversary event, and left without each other at the end of the night.

Chris arrived at the celebrity hotspot around midnight, armed with a crew of around 20 people, while Rihanna entered the club half an hour later, accompanied by her group of bodyguards.
The singers never once communicated with each other during the course of the evening as they sat across the room from one another before Chris left the club around 2.15am in a metallic grey Lamborghini, wearing his hoodie over his baseball cap.
Rihanna made it a late night, leaving closer to 3am.

The chilly atmosphere between the stars is a far cry from their loved-up appearance as they sat side by side in the front row at the Grammys on Sunday night.
The pair snuggled up to each other, smiling and laughing together as they took in the show, while Rihanna wore a diamond ring on her left ring finger during her performance onstage, fuelling speculation that the pair plan to tie the knot. 
But their reconciliation has not been without drama, with Ri-Ri's former best friend Katy Perry has reportedly stopped speaking to her following her reconciliation with Brown, who is still on probation for beating her in 2009. Happy days: The couple were snapped looking loved-up as they sat in the front row at the Grammy Awards on Sunday
