Errr, how much are we loving Rihanna at the moment? Gone are the days of cropped tops and baggy combats – Rihanna has had a full-on fash-over! The star looked gorgeous in a floral frilly bikini and fishnet tights as she performed on the Italian X Factor last night. We’re not so convinced about Rihanna's sparkly pink eyeshadow, but check out her Alexander Wang-style fishtail plait – we’re working the look now! HE
