She has recently been named a Fashion Icon by the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
And it seems like Rihanna is still keen to keep her fashion critics on their toes, as she stepped out sporting a radical change in hair style, arriving at the Giorgio Baldi restaurant on Friday night with considerably less hair than the day before.
The 26-year-old Disturbia singer arrived at the Italian restaurant without the long flowing weave she was seen sporting as she went to dinner with her father the day before, in its place a short sporty crop hidden under a baseball cap.

Stepping out in a sporty look of grey top and black knee-length flared skirt, the singer matched her look with a grey white and black baseball jacket, black cap and grey Nike new balance trainers.
‘We are proud to present Rihanna with the CFDA Fashion Icon Award for her impact on the industry as fashion’s most exciting ambassador in recent memory,’ CFDA CEO Steven Kolb said after in the announcement last week.
The Take A Bow singer was clearly touched by the prestigious fashion award, as she retweeted the announcement with: 'I'm truly honored. Thank you.'
