Rihanna Launches River Island Collection in London

Rihanna 

Hot off the heels of her 25th birthday, Rihanna had another reason to celebrate on Monday with the official launch of her River Island collection.

The singer made a special in-store appearance at London's Oxford Street, where she showed her pride for her debut line by tweeting,"In London launching my #RihannaForRiverIsland collection tonight at Oxford Street! #phuckyoclothingline."
Of course, she also kicked off the event clad in one of her designs, wearing a sleek long-sleeved dress that—in true RiRi fashion—still showed off some skin, thanks to a sultry thigh-high slit and sexy keyhole opening in the back. She paired her staid-meets-sexy frock with Manolo Blahnik sandals, but took the time to show off her seriously fierce River Island beige-and-black high heel booties by posing with the stylish shoes.

If you're a fan of Rihanna's skin-baring style, you can definitely channel your inner rude girl with skin-baring pieces from her line, like a striped bra top in spring's hot black-and-white trend, but you can also find more modest pieces, like the shockingly bright neon T-shirt dress that's right in keeping with the electric shades that designers Proenza Schouler and Oscar de la Renta also embraced this spring.

But with a starting price of $45, Ri-Ri's collection is a little more affordable than her more seasoned designer counterparts, so just about any fashionista can shine bright like a diamond in her creations.
