Rihanna's outfit was what is known as a 'salwar kameez', which is usually leggings and a long top, but the star appeared to customise the traditional look and opted for a beautiful green mesh gown adorned with intricately beaded embroidery. 

The singer completed her take on the traditional look by adding a pair of pink glittering leggings underneath. One thing that couldn't go unnoticed was Rihanna's dazzling statement necklace that covered her entire décolletage.
