Rihanna for Topshop.

It has emerged today that Rihanna has signed a deal with Sir Philip Green as the latest celebrity to design a collection for high street retailer Topshop. The fashion-forward star reportedly had dinner with Green in her home country of Barbados on Boxing day where she sealed the deal. Simon Cowell also attended the dinner apparently to discuss her risque performance on The X Factor which aired on December 11th and is being investigated by TV regulators Ofcom. D-rama.

So why has Green chosen Rihanna? There are plenty of other celebrities whose style is frequently emulated by women globally. Perhaps someone like Cheryl Cole would have been a more expected person to collaborate with the high street giant. However, Rihanna's laid back Caribbean style mixed with high fashion from the fashion capitals of the world. Rihanna has been spotted at front rows of many a fashion shows alongside fellow pop princess Nicola Roberts. Here are a few looks of Rihanna's that in my opinion have cemented her as one of the latest fashion icons.
