Queen of the urban style stakes! Rihanna takes to the stage in tight LBD as she unveils her first fashion collection
|
The Barbadian singer wowed style critics as she presented her first range for River Island on Saturday as part of London Fashion Week.
While the collection appeared to be a hit with fashionistas, Rihanna ensured she gained full marks in the sartorial stakes too, wearing a figure-hugging LBD to take to the stage at the end of the show.

Exceeded expectations: It takes a lot to stand out at London Fashion Week and the pressure was on the singer and high street brand River Island
Rihanna teamed the tight dress with a pair of black strappy heels and a series of simple gold jewellery pieces, opting for a simple style.
She wore her hair lose around her shoulders and she sported dark plum lipstick and a matching colour on her nails.
She was seen waving to the crowd, which included the likes of Cara Delevingne, Mollie King and Jourdan Dunn after debuting the high street collection.
Overwhelmed: The singer seemed thrilled with the reception she received from the fashion pack
Better late than never! Rihanna made journalists and fashionistas wait more than a hour for her show in a wareouse
The Stay singer seemed delighted by the reception from the crowd and was seen with a broad smile plastered across her face.
MailOnline's Toni Jones labelled the much-hyped collection 'wearable and impressive'.
She said: 'While the feel of the collection was quite young, Rihanna also included some seriously elegant maxi dresses, dip-hemmed shirts and digital print separates that will find a home in the 30 something market.'
'Models were the kind of cool girls every 16 year old wants to be and the hip-hop soundtrack kept her young fans happy.'
With legs like Rihanna's: The leather sandals are sure to be a sell out, but these floral shorts are only fit for the super-lithe
Stacked up: Crop bra top, button down skirt with denim shirt tied round waist, the look is pulled together with chunky boots
Crop everything: Ruched tied top and cropped floral trousers are brought together with tough yet elegant cuffed sandals
Urban flower: A flirty feminine piece which would work just as well with wedges as chunky boots
Varsity girl: If there's one item to buy this season, its the varsity jacket. This one is pure Rihanna, paired with back turned baseball cap
The girl's got edge: We hope to see Tilda Swinton rocking this peach look. Leather cuff sandals anchor it to the collection
Box out: If you plan to pair a cropped sweatshirt with a low-rise skirt, don't approach unless your midriff is as toned as Ri-Ri's
Signature: We often see Rihanna's lithe pins popping out of a thigh high split spaghetti strap dress. Now you can too
Striped soul sista: Shoes and headscarf tie an entirely striped ensemble together, accessories with colour-pop nails and gold hoops
Tupac is my homeboy: Ties headscarf homage to late rapper worked perfectly with the vibe of Rihanna's collection
Floral frenzy: Tough boots, slick hair and gold hoops make this feminine dress edgy
All of the lights: Nice to see pop of colour on cute crop tops, albeit slightly ill-fitting
In with the fashion crowd: Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn were among the guests at the show
