She has already proved herself as one of the hottest singers on the planet but Rihanna is also making serious waves in the fashion industry too.

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.

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.

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.'
